Liquid or vapour actually, and not strictly hydrocarbon ( C2H5-O-C2H5 ).

No John, the Aether is a solid, since it propagates "transverse
vibrations". :-)
On a more serious not, has anyone not noticed the the measured
pemittivity and permeability of the Aether is identical to that of a
vacuum? Perhaps Maxwell was not stupid.

Dear Harry C: Maxwell WAS most stupid. To wit: He figured the ether
that was everywhere could slow light. He proposed that Michelson test
that with his new planar interferometer over a light path of a few
feet (or a thousand; it's the same concept). If a thousand feet of
ether could slow light, think how much light would be slowed in
traveling those many miles from the Sun. Effectively, if ether 'has
drag', the light from the Sun and the stars would never get here, and
there would be no life on Earth. Are you here? Then Maxwell, and
every physicist for the last 121 years, was or is VERY stupid. —
