'''"Space-time is Aether I"''' is an article by [[Glenn Borchardt]] published on 30 March 2026<br />
on his blog ''[https://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com/ The Scientific Worldview]''. It is<br />
the first of a two-part piece arguing that what relativity calls space-time is the<br />
[[Aether|aether]] under a different name, and that physics abandoned the medium for<br />
mathematical convenience rather than for empirical reasons.<br />
<br />
Borchardt's case turns on Einstein's own retreat. He points out that Einstein publicly<br />
recanted his denial of the aether in 1920 &mdash; allowing that "we may assume its existence<br />
but not ascribe a definite state of motion to it" &mdash; and argues that mainstream physics<br />
has quietly ignored the recantation ever since. In its place, he holds, the discipline adopted<br />
perfectly empty space and then required a succession of ad hoc assumptions to keep light<br />
behaving as a particle in a vacuum that offers nothing to carry it. He proposes instead an<br />
"aetherosphere" of high-velocity aether particles accumulating around matter, producing<br />
gravitational effects by collision, and cites the [[Sagnac Effect|Sagnac]] and de Sitter<br />
results together with [[Edward Dowdye]]'s plasma-refraction account of starlight bending.<br />
<br />
The article is part of Borchardt's broader argument that modern physics has become regressive,<br />
substituting mathematical description for physical causation.<br />
