Wasnt the Aether considered motionless like the rotation of the Universe ?(if The Aether was was motion less it had to be massless ,Hence an invisible matter which would appear dark to quantum mechanics?)

He did, but never on paper.

In his postualtes that he use to develope the theory of special and general relitivity he did not postualte any thing on the exitsance of aether.

Rather he made this postulate "If aether exist it can not be observed to exist" It is just like Newton stated, A man in side of a ship can not know if the ship is moving. We are inside of aether, therfor we can not know if aether is moving around us, or if we are moving through aether, and there is no experiment that can be done to find out which is happening.

He did not say that aether does not exist, but he did say that it is not something that we have to worry about when discussing physics

.
Newton based his laws of motion on the concept of absolute space at rest.The concept of aether which was current at that time was thought to be at rest with respect the absolute space.But all experiments to detect the motion of the Earth through aether was unsuccessful.
Einstein postulated that the physical laws are the same for all observers at uniform relative motion with respect to each other. No observer can claim that he is at rest.The formulation of the theories of relativity by Einstein made the concept of absolute space sperfluous and so that of the aether.

I only love the desperation and the lies christians attempt right here! "i do no longer think in a private God and that i've got not at all denied this yet have expressed it of course. If some thing is in me which will nicely be called non secular then it incredibly is the unbounded admiration for the form of the international as far as our technological know-how can demonstrate it." – Einstein The be conscious god is for me no longer something greater desirable than the expression and fabricated from human weaknesses, the Bible a determination of honourable, yet nevertheless primitive legends that are however enormously infantile. No interpretation no remember how diffused can (for me) replace this. – Einstein i won't be ready to think of a God who rewards and punishes the products of his creation, whose applications are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who's yet a mirrored photograph of human frailty. Neither am i able to sense that the guy survives the dying of his physique, even with the fact that feeble souls harbor such techniques by using worry or ridiculous egotisms. – Einstein mendacity for god continues to be mendacity and a sin so appreciate hell once you get there provided that it incredibly is right here planned sinners supposedly circulate!

Einstein only postulated: aether cannot be observed.

The Mickelson (sp?) Inferometer expirement disproved the ether, Although the expirement was set up to prove it.

He was the one that led to the first major disproving of the existance of, in fact. Oo.

Yeah,he was against it and he proved it by his theory
