Einstein was a little vague about the Ether to protect his Relativity

Einstein remained firmly believing in the Ether, which I believe he
says it's needed to explain the curvature of Spacetime and for light
to propegate.

But Einstein also remained vague about the Ether perhaps to save his
relativity theory. The most he said about the Ether was we could not
ascribe motion or particule to the Ether.

I say the Ether behaves like water and a carrier wave of the fastest
frequency: the Alpha, it is an undetected ethereal wave that somehow
modulates all other waves and entities in spacetime.
