What is Lumeniferous aether

Lumeniferous aether: The substance that filled all the vacant spaces between matter that was employed to elucidate what medium light was "waving" in. Now it has been harmed the reputation of, as Maxwell's equations entail that electromagnetic radiation can transmit in a vacuum, as they are disturbances in the electromagnetic field instead of traditional waves in some substance, like water waves.
