I recently came across a neat post on r/MawInstallation which proposes that the air craft-esque behavior of starships in the Star Wars universe could be explained with an obsolete theory known as Luminiferous Aether.
Currently, I am working on a fan project that puts Star Wars, Star Trek and Mass Effect into a single universe albeit at different time periods. I’d like to incorporate the Luminiferous Aether concept into my fan project as a way of explaining the behavior of starships but I am unsure as to whether or not the concept is compatible with the starship-centric physics of Mass Effect and Star Trek.
