Thomson, Faraday, Maxwell, Steinmetz, Heaviside and Tesla all worked within a field/aether framework. Every motor, every generator, every transformer, every power line, every piece of AC mathe that runs the modern world was derived from field theory that assumed a medium.

Then MMX comes along, fails to detect a mechanical drag effect from a rigid luminiferous aether - a very crude model of the aether that none of the serious field theorists actually held, and subsequently declares the aether dead.

They didn't disprove anything other than one bad model of the aether, and then used that as license to throw out the entire conceptual foundation that every working piece of electrical technology was built on.

Completely retarded.
