[edit] Aether in popular culture

Aether in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is just a listing of mentionings of "aether" in random video games and films. Trivial. Things like "plasma" or "hyper-speed" in popular culture could easily be made too. Nearly all science-fiction books/films/TV shows would have things like this mentioned in them. Bulldog123 22:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Searching for "Aether 'popular culture'" produced some interesting reading, but nothing that actually discussed, er, "aether in popular culture." Thus, it seems unlikely that this can be expanded beyond a mere list of times "aether" is mentioned somewhere. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 23:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as indiscriminate collection of trivia (it does not appear in "nearly all science-fiction"). Clarityfiend 23:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
