You are poor at research. Tin foil guy. For nearly two decades, physicists tried frantically to patch up the aether theory to explain the Michelson-Morley results (including Olinto De Pretto, Hendrik Lorentz, and Henri Poincaré). Then, in 1905, a 26-year-old Albert Einstein solved the problem by throwing the aether out the window entirely. In his Theory of Special Relativity, Einstein made a radical assertion: Light does not need a medium to travel. The speed of light is an absolute constant in the universe (c), and it remains the same for all observers, no matter how fast they are moving. Instead of a fluid filling empty space, Einstein showed that space and time themselves form a flexible, four-dimensional fabric called spacetime. Gravity isn't a force pulling through an ether; it is the bending of this spacetime fabric by mass.
