I've never read about the ether needing to have inertia. Also, a modern version of the ether is pretty well accepted - quantum fields that occupy all of space.

I've never read about the ether needing to have inertia.
Also, a modern version of the ether is pretty well accepted - quantum fields that occupy all of space. Particles etc.. are disturbances in this field. Ether is something of a tainted term these days so quantum fields are not referred to as ether.
- chc 11y agoQuantum field theory doesn't seem very much like the luminiferous ether. This seems like finding a new species of grasshopper that lives on a mountain, and saying, "Ah-ha, I've found Zeus! Zeus is a thing that lives on a mountain and has never been seen before, so this must be Zeus!"
