teoria scientifica obsoleta
Luminiferous aether was a theoretical substance that scientists once believed filled all of space and allowed light to travel through it, similar to how sound waves need air to propagate. The idea was eventually abandoned in the early 20th century when experiments and Einstein's theory of relativity showed that light could travel through empty space without needing any medium.
