Actually I'm convinced the missing matter (It's more like 99% the mass of the
universe) simply fell behind my fridge, and I haven't the desire to go look for
it.

Of course, the "aether" was just a construction of the mind - it should never
have been taken seriously in the first place.  The idea was that it would be
1) Completely permeable to material objects, AND
2) Infinitely rigid in order to support light properly.

No one figured a way out of the contradiction 'till good ol' Albert did away
with it once and for all.

Perhaps, like Dirk Gently, I ought to simply buy a new fridge.  :)
