Mathematics says there is such a thing as "Dark Matter", but Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity suggests (or perhaps demands) that there is no such thing as luminous aether.
I'm all for everything lining up beautifully in the realm of mathematics, particularly when it comes to physics (which may as well be the study of everything), but it seems counterproductive to so quickly dismiss some of the more peculiar claims in physics without considering how a couple of scientists who set out to quantify and understand a certain property of the universe discovered instead that it didn't exist.
So say some people, anyway.
Then again, even Einstein wasn't happy with spooky action at a distance.
