The [[timeline]] of '''[[luminiferous aether]]''' (light-bearing aether) or '''ether'''  as a [[Transmission medium|medium]] for propagating [[electromagnetic radiation]] begins in the 18th century. The '''aether''' was assumed to exist for much of the 19th century—until the [[Michelson–Morley experiment]] returned its famous null result. Further [[experiment]]s were in general agreement with Michelson and Morley's result. By the 1920s, most scientists rejected the aether's existence.
