What is Ether?

Ether is something present everywhere

Ether is the medium on which Light Travels.

What is refractive index of Ether?

If Ether is present everywhere What is it made up of.

IS Ether filling the Gap between Nuclie & Electrons?

Is Ether Mass Less

Does Ether has a Volume

When a Mass moves arround Ether does Ether produce any Resistance

Is it simmilar to the Water in Ocean Or Air on Earth So that the
Fishes cannot feel the Water and we Cannot see the Air though it is
present every where?

Is Ether also present in Vaccume.

What are the Laws that say Ether Exists.

And Which Laws say Ether do not Exist.

Is there any Experiment to show Ether is present in World.

If Ether is removed from a place will the Light Stop. Just Like Sound
travels from medium. But Sound do not travel in Vaccum. Simmilarly
will the Light Stop when Ether is not Present?

Photons travel through empty space. No medium is necessary.

Those are aspects of ether that the ancient (pre 1905) ether theories
had. Modern attempts at ether theories usually have them. The second is
the defining characteristic of ether, so it is true in all ether theories.

No ether theory has ever said what it is, other than saying "ether"
(which is of course no explanation at all). Refractive index does not
apply to the ether of any ether theory with which I am familiar.
> IS Ether filling the Gap between Nuclie & Electrons?

It must be, if light is truly an electromagnetic phenomena and if the
atomic theory is valid. Note that these two statements are among the
best-tested statements in science. Note that particulate ether advocates
would say that there is ether present, but it is not "filling" that gap.
> What are the Laws that say Ether Exists.

There are no relevant "laws". Rather there are models of the world, some
of which include ether and some of which don't. To date, the models that
include ether do not have any direct experimental support...

You didn't say that because you knew that ether contains oxygen in the
molecule and therefore is not a hydrocarbon. And you knew that it may or may
not be a gas, depending on ambient conditions.
