"According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is
unthinkable" - Albert Einstein

General relativity is an aether theory.

What is presently postulated as non-baryonic dark matter is aether.
Aether has mass. Aether physically occupies three dimensional space.
Aether is physically displaced by matter.

Curved spacetime is displaced aether.
