I think you are right on both counts. If an EM wave is transmitted through vacuum, for a wave to be transmitted something needs to vibrate. In case of EM, it would be electric and magnetic medium. I would think Aether is a combination of E & M.
But I am curious to see any early scientific theories regarding the nature of Aether and work from there.
That's funny! Just this morning I was listening to Gregg Braden saying that if you want to get a walkout of scientists, you just have to say the word 'ether'. They are totally opposed to that whole thing - but he's not ;)
