Do you understand, at every level, how a transistor works? What
is this "hole" theory then? A form of transmission using
nothingness? Why would two materials conduct electricity in one
direction, but not the other, based on how they are joined?

Sounds pretty magical, no?

Without offering any support to those who have an unshakable
belief that aether is necessary and does exist I hasten to
point out, as has been done many times before, that our
understanding of how things work does not require it. Many
things once supported by mainstream science have been replaced
by ideas having a better fit.

The pro bunch keep yelling "it does exist!" The anti crowd
keeps taunting, "it doesn't, it doesn't!"

You're both guilty of religious posturing.
