I am NOT an aether believer!

My understanding of 'an aether' is that of a medium which transmits light whereas I'm of the opinion that light requires no medium to travel through space.

I have a question however based on you comment above if light is losing energy to the aether in space doesn't that mean there is actually a finite distance you can send it before it ends up losing all it's energy to the space aether?


Several authors (e.g. Davies-Gribbin) write that the light from far-distant galaxies (that are receding at superluminal rates) is moving away from us hence is undetectable.

Alternatively, their distance is so great that their light redshifts to nonvisible frequencies.
