No, the easiest explanation is that Tesla just constructed an AM transmitter, but didn't understand that was what he did. He was directing his efforts toward wireless communication, which was Morse Code at the time, a primitive form of amplitude modulation.
The "ether" has fallen out of favor due to the inability to define it in a way that can be materially analyzed. It was formerly attempted to analyze it under the theory of a fluid medium, but that was not entirely satisfactory. The vacuum at least can be characterized by a permittivity and a permeability, which define the speed of light. The quantum vacuum is characterized by the temporary existence of photons (and particles) in accordance with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which gives rise to the Casimir Force.
No, he didn't. He didn't know squat about the ionosphere. That was discovered 20 years later, and at a much higher altitude than Tesla was supposing his phenomena would be found. I happen to know the science and the history, and you are obviously innocent of knowing any of this. (It was also my profession. I knew what I was doing.) You just don't like your bias-confirming fantasies to be spoiled by inconvenient facts. Even Trump's uncle concluded that Tesla's papers had nothing of interest in them.
Three degrees in aeronatutics and astronautics, emphasis in applied physics, work in laser refraction, optical engineering, space weapon design, launch vehicle design, combat management architecture, etc. I act no smarter than I am in reality. I haven't seen much high IQ, but I have seen high unwarraned self-esteem (you are a good example). And all you have to say to an honest point is insults.
