Interesting discussion with Terrence Howard. I think a lot of what he says isn't quite right and includes a lot of speculation, but he is right about two things:

1. The aether is real

2. Gravity in the through the lens of Newton or Einstein is invalidated but the existence of the aether, since gravity is an effect of electricity, because everything is dielectric.

The wider implication of the aether is that it invalidates relativity, which was already clear to anyone who doesn't subscribe to the atomist approach to physics.
