Yeah, the solid aether is dead, no matter how much crackpot aetherists
wish it weren't so. However, a new movable, deformable, fluidic aether
is still on the table. In fact, it might be the high card on the table.

If the idea of a fluidic universe is right, then we can analyse
turbulence with nice fluid mechanics equations, using all of the nice
approximations that engineers use with fluid mechanics.

Cahill isn't the only one who has come up with the idea of a fluidic
universe. There are several others too, such as Loop Quantum-Gravity, or
Dark Fluid.

Here's a write-up about Dark Fluid.

Dark Fluid and Modified Gravity
"Dr Zhao reports that, "Dark energy has already revealed its presence by
masking as dark matter 60 years ago if we accept that dark matter and
dark energy are linked phenomena that share a common origin."

In this new model, dark energy and dark matter are simply different
manifestations of the same thing, the `dark fluid". On the scale of
galaxies, this dark fluid behaves like matter and on the scale of the
Universe overall as dark energy, driving the expansion of the Universe.
Importantly, this model, unlike some similar work, is detailed enough to
produce the same 3:1 ratio of dark energy to dark matter as is predicted
by cosmologists. "
