I'm pretty sure that dark matter/energy is just this generation's aether.
"dark" in scientific terms just means unexplained. We're very, very, very, and I cannot stress this enough... VERY sure that dark matter and dark energy exist, but they will remain "dark" until we discover what they are/what's causing the effects that we see. Aether was just unfounded non-sense that was based on practically nothing.
Aethyr was a reasonable insistence that light can't be half as fucky as we now know it is.
Light is pretty fucky. Like taking the shortest route to it's target through TIME! What the fuck light?!
Not necessarily forward, maybe.
