If you go through the list of papers on the Michelson-Morley experiment, you will see that it is not that clear. In fact, they did a lot of things wrong then. Averaged values that should have not been, missing information about the movement of the solar system

There are many critical papers published over the years:
Einstein only later understood, that general Relativity without aether is unthinkable (Sidelights on Relativity):

Recapitulating, we may say that according to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether. According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense. But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media, as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time. The idea of motion may not be applied to it.

He did not need aether for SR, but GR without aether, simply does not make sense. Also radial waves as predicted by Lord Kelvin and discovered by Tesla are not really understandable without. You can explain many virtual particles by creating a zoo like the standard model did, but radial waves you can't.
Dark Matter is the aether, without it's mass, spiral galaxies and many other cosmological phenomena are not explainable - or at least not classical.
The problem with most aether theories is, that they assume it as some sort of superfluid, or some special substance, which both do not make so much sense, as the complexity of the vacuum is simply to great. It must at least implement all virtual particles (β+/β-/photons/...), electric and magnet fields (Hertz & Tesla waves, as both exist),...
The BSM-SG model has a completely different aether model, instead of some special substance, it is made of the same building materials as protons/electrons, just in a much smaller and different geometric structure.
It has only one fundamental force and 2 very simple fundamental particles (balls). It becomes clear, that already quite large crystals, that look like prisms, under this one law of attraction, build a grid that looks like a 3d honey web.
In this grid, you can find all the physical properties we can measure. Electric and Magnet Fields, Speed of Light, Photons, Vacuum Fluctuations, Gravity, Coulomb Barrier, Quantum Entanglement, Virtual Particles (without rest-mass)....
Of course, many of those are iterations between the extremely complex geometrical structure of electrons/protons/neutrons and the Cosmic Lattice as its called in BSM-SG.
Best physics book I read and most sensible unified theory I have encountered so far:
Needs an open mind tho and some months of heavy thinking for really getting into this theory, but once you grasp the basic interactions, geometric structures etc the universe starts to make so much sense.
So far, every phenomena I encountered was explainable after some minutes-days of thinking and I always came to the same conclusion as Stoyan Sarg.
To put it in perspective for those who actually read through it: the aether that Einstein was talking about has nothing to do with a classical definition of aether from Michelson-Morley times and, of course, connection to dark matter is solely grammatical.
Since when did HN become an "alternative science" magnet?
I'm absolutely sure, that Einstein would have gone with the BSM-SG model. Unfortunately traveling back in time is impossible (from the BSM perspective).
Because the BSM model is the hacker approach to physics. If you can't unify a theory in 100 years, you most likely made some mistakes and a rewrite makes much more sense. Start from scratch with newest measurements and the simplest assumptions build it from ground up. Of course you must describe the different constants/forces of the standard model, but as long as you derive them logically, its absolutely valid.
Sorry, but we run out of time to wait 100 years for general physics to catch up. Paradima changes are slow, and we run out of time. Most people do not understand the great danger we are in:
If somebody gives me a classical theory of physics with the absolute minimal set of basic assumptions possible; that fits measurements very well, uses a more strict form of logic and provides one with a physical understanding of something that could save humanity:
I fucking taking it. I learn the crap out of it and I give my best to save this wonderful planet that we trashed. I studied physics long enough that I know how most, not all of course, tick. I understand the close mindedness of many scientists.
That's why I'm promoting it, that's why I think it deserves a chance to be investigated. Quite often, when I talk with people about this model, hackers have a much more open attitude to new ideas and very often, after answering many of their questions, I often here: ohh, this actually makes sense. Especially chemists are very fast interested, because it explains, of course, chemical bindings and the interaction between particles very well and understandable.

This is a very nice list of better experiments, looking into those is very interesting:
