Really? The Michelson-Morley experiment proved that the luminiferous aether, which scientists up to then had insisted must be a pervading medium throughout the Universe in order to propogate light, does not exist. As a result, the relevant and concomitant scientific fields were able to flourish once that stumbling block was removed and no sane person now believes in the aether's existence. I'd call that an answer.
"Does the luminiferous aether exist?"
"Let's have a look."
