As an engineer, I found that I could follow the engineering techno-babble and it made sense or was at least coherent. My dermatologist was a sci-fi fan so I asked her about their medical techno-babble and she attested to its quality.
Once upon a time a biologist and a geologist were discussing a creationist lecture that they had both attended. The biologist said that the biology was garbage but the geology sounded good. The geologist said that the geology was garbage but the biology sounded good.

How does the Bermuda Triangle lead to your aether supposition?
Man-eating aether. Hungry Hungry Aether.

I won't try to go into great detail on it
The university that I attended had about 6000 students at the time. One floor of the library was devoted to science. It had aisles and aisles and aisles of large bound volumes of abstracts - i.e. brief summaries of what was in the papers. The papers themselves contained the details.
You can't do science without details.

Not really. Take a look at the Topics list. We have threads more then ten times as long.
It may seem long to you because you've told us everything you know.

The BBT requires a beginning to exist.
There's a difference between "a" beginning and "the" beginning. Every person has "a" beginning. That doesn't make them creationists.

Can we make a conscious choice to be part of light or part of darkness and, if so, do we know which is which?
Have you ever heard of the concept of metaphor? Do you realize that light/darkness (good/evil) has nothing, nothing and also nothing to do with actual physical light?

You're the one who's always preaching against objective reality, expecting your seeing-eye god to lead you. I prefer to look out for the trees.

You have a lot of gall. Go back and answer the hundreds of my posts that you've ignored before you demand that I answer every thought that meanders through your mind.

You guys cant wax philosophic about what science tells us will happen in 100 billion (give or take) years and then imply that you dont care about an eternal destiny or purpose...
When have I ever done that?

No, I'm pointing out that your comment is nonsense based on your misunderstanding of simple English.

The Universe required a beginning to exist just like you did.
That's an unsupported assertion.

As you have been told, we don't know. You shouldn't pretend that you do.

The bounce hypothesis comes to mind as well as the string hypothesis.
But there is no way around the universe having a beginning to exist in and from non existence or being eternal.
You contradict yourself. You name two hypotheses and then claim there are none.

This Thread has presented my Ether Model.
Jules Verne's vehicle to get to the moon was an enormous cannon, for which he presented a "model" in words, including facts and figures based on what people know about firearms.
H.G. Wells' vehicle to get to the moon was a sphere, which he described in some detail, but the means of getting to the moon was a fictitious woo-woo metal that was impervious to gravity.
Verne's vehicle, though impractical, could hypothetically be built.

Do you honestly feel as if your understanding was/is an epiphany and that it will come to light?
Science doesn't work by epiphanies. Even epiphanies - I'm thinking of Kekulé and the structure of benzene - need to be confirmed experimentally.
Phat writes:
I feel as if the faith-based community can understand my hypothesis and where I am going. The evidence-based community never will.
That's a false dichotomy. Many people of faith are also people of faith.
And few people of faith are likely to swallow your nonsense. Your problem is that you keep trying to turn nonsense into sense. As long as you keep digging, you're just exposing more and more flaws in your thinking.
