 I wonder whether you realize that you are responding to P. A. M. Dirac.
Go check out who that is on wikipedia.
 Everything within the line of hashes ### is a full reproduction of
Dirac's 1951 Note/Letter to the Nature Journal, titled:
 "Is there an Aether?"
 https://doi.org/10.1038/168906a0
 and here is Schrödinger's commentary on Dirac's aether electrodynamics.
 https://www.nature.com/articles/169538a0.pdf
 I hope you don't need an introduction to who Schrödinger is.
 

I didn't see that that was Dirac. It sounded too kooky. Looking into that, I see L. Infeld responded to Dirac's letter essentially stating an aether was not necessarily required.
Dirac also didn't develop this concept into a theory. I don't know whether he realized it may be false or was just unable to pursue the idea.
