So what is the number 1 dumbest belief in physics?

That has to be the view of the aether deniers.

Their view is that electomagnetic waves do not need a medium. To sum up 
their religion, it is that light, heat, radio etc. are all produced by 
"probability waves in nothing at all"! By denying aether they make the 
bold assertion that nothing at all can have properties. That the 
"nothing" of space can have properties. When it comes to electromagnetic 
phenomena, they suggest that behavior can exist without anything which 
possesses the behavior. It's clearly an insane view.

Take the case of waves. Waves by definition are stresses in SOMETHING 
that can propagate outward from one point to another. Can one stress 
"nothing at all"? The question makes no sense at all. Hence if radio 
energy is waves then it is stresses of some kind in space that propagate 
outward. If space is "nothing at all" then WHAT is being stressed?

The whole aether denier theory has sunk into a morass where only blind 
religious belief can save it from the mental hospital. It clearly is NOT 
science, so what is it doing there?
