In
2005 there was worldwide several celebrations of the centenary of the Special
Relativity, as we see for instance in the University of Pittsburgh: 2005: The Centenary of Einstein's
Annus Mirabilis of 1905
http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/homepage/Events_1905.html
In
2015 the centenary of the General Relativity was celebrated in the most important universities worldwide: GR100 Events around the World
http://www.isgrg.org/GR100events.php
But 2016 is the year of the centenary of another very important event for the Theoretical Physics. Because in 1916 Einstein has realized that his General Relativity is incompatible with the empty space, and so he has started to look for a new sort o Aether.
Nevertheless,
now in 2016 we don’t see any celebration
at any university for the centenary of the Einstein’s attempts trying to bring back
the Aether, and the reason is obvious: in 2005 and in 2015 the scientific
community has celebrated two Einstein’s theoretical successes. However his attempt trying to bring back the
aether in 1916 was a failure, because the scientific community did not accept
his New Aether. And nobody celebrates a
failure.
However in spite of the centerary will not be celebrated in 2016, of course the
bicentenary will be celebrated in 2116 in all the universities worldwide,
because the return of the Aether is unavoidable, since it is growing the number
of physicists who are realizing that the adoption of the concept of empty space
is the biggest error occurred in the History of Physics.
Along
the 20th Century, some physicists have tried to call the attention
of the scientific community for the need of the Aether return to Physics. Among them we may mention Dr. Ludwik Kostro,
in spite of his words did not have
reverberation in the ears of the scientific community:

ether (1916-1924)

Walter
Isaacson also describes in the book “Einstein:
His Life and Universe” how Einstein changed his in 1916:

In
his 2008 book “The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether and the
Unification of Forces”, Frank Wilczek argues
from many lines of evidence that there is in fact an ether that undergirds
space, which he calls alternately the ether, the Grid or the
“cosmic superconductor.” He writes in his book:
“No presently known
form of matter has the right properties [to play the role of the ether]. So we
don’t really know what this new material ether is. We know its name: the Higgs
condensate [or Higgs field], after Peter Higgs, a Scots physicist who pioneered
some of these ideas. The simplest possibility … is that it’s made from one new
particle, the so-called Higgs particle. But the [ether] could be a mixture of
several materials. … [T]here are good reasons to suspect that a whole new world
of particles is ripe for discovery, and that several of them chip in to the
cosmic superconductor, a.k.a the Higgs condensate.”

In 2011 the journal Nature has
published the paper Moving mirrors make light from nothing, the stronger
experimental evidence corroborating the existence of the
Aether:
http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110603/full/news.2011.346.html
In 2013 the European Physical Journal D has
published the paper The quantum
vacuum as the origin of the speed of light , where is proposed that the space is filled
by particles and antiparticles (as
proposed in the book Quantum Ring Theory, published in 2006, in spite of in
that book the Aether is composed by “several” different particles and
antiparticles):
http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.6165
But nowadays the most important contribution
for the return of the Aether is a collection of papers published by Dr. Claudio
Nassif.
When Dr. Nassif has started to write his first
paper, I told him never to mention the word “Aether” in his papers, otherwise
his papers would be rejected by all the reputable peer review journals. He followed
my advise, and it seems the referees who have analyzed his papers did not
realize that (in spite of the Aether is not mentioned in the paper) in his
theory the space is filled by a “substance”.
Ahead are the Nassif’s papers:

Of course the return of the Aether will occur
slowly, because in the field of Science the changing of a paradigm
always happens with the steps of a lazy turtle, since the resistance
against new ideas is very strong.
Even some physicists sympathizers
with the concept of Aether use to reject it when it is proposed in peer
review journals. For instance, the journal Annals of Physics published by MIT, where Frank Wilczek is the editor-in-chief, has recently rejected the last Nassif’s paper Electrodynamics of moving particles in gravitational fields with Lorentz violation,
in spite of the own Wilczek has written a book where he mentions the
need of the Aether return to Theoretical Physics. The Aether is a taboo
in Physics, and it seems the community of physicist is ashamed of
admiting its return, because the adoption of the empty space is perhaps
the greatest error of the times, and it is always hard for the
physicists to admit errors, which tarnish the reputation of the
physicists.
