"In 1887 two American physicists, Michelson and Morley, performed what has turned out to be one of the most historic but misunderstood experiments in physics." (i)
Abstract
If a forensic investigation were to be performed to find the root cause of the disastrous failure of 20th century cosmology (and some aspects of astrophysics), it would lead to a famous experiment in 1887 and its subsequent misinterpretation. An enquiry into history reveals the discounting of an experiment's data, a disregard of its cautionary conclusion and the adoption by the scientific community of an unjustified interpretation ---the denial of the existence of aether and absolute motion-- with regrettable consequences. The discovery of the causal mechanism of gravity was delayed by well over one hundred years as theorists devoted themselves to the modeling of mathematical space. Without the existence of an aether-space fluid, the Science of Cosmology henceforth dedicated itself to the creation of hypothetical mathematical universes. Maybe the most appalling consequence is the failure to recognize the Universe's self-organizing preferential structure. The Universe, consisting, as it does, of aether-space that is regionally dynamic on the large scale, is a cellular universe. Those are three profound consequences. Meanwhile, the aether has been re-discovered at least six times during the 20th century. And it is only relatively recently that this knowledge has been incorporated into a restructuring of fundamental physics. The emergence of a modern aether theory has led Professor Reginald T. Cahill to the causal mechanism of gravity and the author to the intrinsic cellular structure of the Universe.
Today, virtually all financial and experimental resources in cosmology are devoted to big bang studies. Funding comes from only a few sources, and all the peer-review committees that control them are dominated by supporters of the big bang. As a result, the dominance of the big bang within the field has become self-sustaining, irrespective of the scientific validity of the theory.

A study to prove a proposition where the proponents are strong believers in their own ideas... where have i see this before?

Just because it is misunderstood and its origins are unknown, does not make it the top of the proverbial food chain in cosmic forces.

No need to use "wtf" language.
I was trying to clarify your point.
What was your point? Gravity is considered to be the driving force in the universe because we don't know any better?

You don't agree that it is assumed to be the driving force in the universe - as "gravitational pull" which formed the planets?

the Aether as they proposed back then is not at all supported by science, modern or otherwise. It does not fit the observables one bit.

Mary, In simplistic terms picture gravity as follows.
Consider the earth as a lemon. Now take a lemon squeezer and apply pressure
on the lemon to squeeze it.
