Answer
Aether, a hypothetical medium once believed to permeate space and transmit electromagnetic waves, was disproved by Hertz's experiments. Hertz demonstrated that electromagnetic waves could travel through a vacuum, contradicting the notion that they required a medium for propagation. This discovery revolutionized physics, paving the way for the development of wireless communication and the understanding of the nature of light and other electromagnetic phenomena.
