It's been attempted many times over many years, Michael, but the thinking is such that the aether would have to have both an extremely rigid property to allow for high-velocity transverse waves and fluid properties to allow massive bodies to travel through it.

If the latter property is thought about at an extremely deeper level, to the point that the massive bodies don't have to move through the aether, but are recreated incrementally from the aether according to the massive bodies' energy densities, then there doesn't seem to be a problem with that aspect of it.
