Return of the Ether: When Theory and Reality Collide is a 1999 book by the electrical engineer Sid Deutsch, published by SciTech Publishing.
Overview
Deutsch proposes reviving the nineteenth-century concept of the luminiferous ether to make physical sense of "quantum weirdness." He applies the idea to determinism, photons and electrons, the hydrogen atom, Bell's theorem, special relativity, and the Big Bang, arguing that an ether provides a more intuitive account of phenomena that are otherwise treated as irreducibly strange.
