However, a small number of people feel that the scientific community took a wrong turn when they rejected the concept of the aether, and recently some cosmologists have been toying with the idea of 're-inventing' the aether as a way of understanding the creation event: "Could spacetime literally be a kind of fluid, like the ether of pre-Einsteinian physics?"  <ref> See, for example a recent article in Scientific American, ehre the aether is interpreted as a quantum foam of black holes - December 2005 issue of Scientific American: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000ADA62-D854-137C-962A83414B7F0000&sc=I100322</ref>.

Others argue that [[Geocentric theory]] is an alternative explanation of the result {{fact}}.  If the earth is in-fact stationary relative to the aether then the result of the Michelson-Morley experiment is easy to understand.  This interpretation makes the Earth "special" compared to other celestial objects, supporting the view that Humanity (and the Earth) is the pinnacle of creation (and thus central).
