The farther of Modern Electrodynamics, James Clerk Maxwell built his
famous theory assuming the existence of Ether - an unique material
substance, where the light and EM waves are propagated as waves. This
fact is omitted from the physics text books and is little known today
for students and even proffessors. His original equations are in
quaternion forms with 20 variables (not the vector forms). They cover
properties of the physical vacuum, which are missing in the today
known vectors forms. Maxwell explicitly speaks about the space
medium – ether in his great theoretical works: "A Dynamical
Theory of
the Electromagnetic Field" and "A Treatise on Electricity and
Magnetism"

Currently, the Cosmology is in crisis (it is admitted in the
scientific communities), because it relied on the Big Bang theory.
This "theory" is inconsistent with the Ether vision about
space and
it entered into serious troubles – contradictions to latest
observations and wrong predictions. To address the truth we must say
that what is envisioned as "dark matter" in all spiral
galaxies (a
large portion of the matter) in fact is the material substance of the
Ether. It is also in our galaxy - among us and within us.
Contemporary physics needs fundamental corrections for some wrong
postulates admitted about 100 years ago and their consequences
leading to wrong directions.
