Dark matter is just a theory, not proven yet. Some scientists proposed this theory because they tried to create computer simulations of our universe but failed because our universe doesn't hold enough mass to be as it is now. They believe dark matter which cannot be detected, is the missing mass.

Definately.... C4H10O
basically two shots of pure alcohol and a water chaser.....

Also ether (aether) is still currently used in the mathematics to wave theory. Since a "Wave" is a (typically periodic) distortion or movement of "something" (tidal waves through water, sound wave through air (and some solid materials). The medium itself influences the propogation rated, damepening and distortion. Since light can also travel through a pure vacuum, this raises a bit of an issues....

[How well I remember trying to wrap my mind around this when I was 15 :) ]

Like Gravity can vibration also be infinity as long as there is a consecutive amount of medium?

All of the forces are attenuated by distance and the menium. If it were not, we would all be "pulled" off of earth to the more massive planets and stars (especially the sum)
