Nice. Nobody want to study physical properties of aether, so it is still just another hypothetical concept just like "dark matter" or "Higgs field". Shitloads of talks and math, without any practical study or even physical proof of existence. There are a lot of exactly same things in modern science, aether is just one of the first. It is kind of normal today - invent things you could write a lot of articles about and do a math masturbation endlessly, but without any attempt to study and use practically.

So, OK, 19th century "dark matter". Something abstract, that somehow "should exist" but inherently could not be used or even studied practically. Nothing exceptional.

Then why do you need spreading of that fucking blatant lie about "removing aether from periodic table"? What's the point of meme you posted?

I'm in no way against any concept by default. But when concept apologists don't even care about anything practical about their concept, it is at least suspicious.

When I apply perfectly scientific and valid question - "was the thing isolated?" to the coronahoax, f.e., then it's OK. But if I apply exactly same question to, say, aether, or another thing circulating in conspiracy theorist circles, that's generate tons of butthurt.

Not isolated, never studied practically, inherently could not be used. And with that stupid and completely unnecessary lies on top. Sorry, I will not buy that theory, just like I will not buy "dark matter" or "relativity", or whatever abstract shit in physics. Even if the math is perfectly OK.
