The experimental support for a fixed ether in SR is comparable to the
experimental support for unicorns in zoology. Lots of luck proving either
exists.

I agree .. the existence of an aether is not falsifiable. Unless perhaps
some GR predictions (say)would be incompatible with an aether (but
compatible with SR). I'm certainly not aware of any test that would allow
one to test for its presence or not.

If that is the case, then we cannot scientifically prove or refute that
aether exists.

Occam's razor wipes out aether as being required for physics. If it exists,
it makes no difference to how we measure reality.

What is a 'fixed ether'?

Oh, and BTW, please derive the physical basis of the LTE within the
framework of SR.
