It is a fact that in 1908 Walther Ritz produced a lengthy criticism of Maxwell–Lorentz electromagnetic theory, in which he contended that the theory's connection with the luminescent ether (see Lorentz ether theory) made it "essentially inappropriate to express the comprehensive laws for the propagation of electrodynamic actions."
Ritz pointed out seven problems with Maxwell–Lorentz electromagnetic field equations:
Electric and magnetic forces really express relations about space and time and should be replaced with non-instantaneous elementary actions.
Advanced potentials don't exist (and their erroneous use led to the Rayleigh–Jeans ultraviolet catastrophe).
Localization of energy in the ether is vague.
It is impossible to reduce gravity to the same notions.
The unacceptable inequality of action and reaction is brought about by the concept of absolute motion with respect to the ether.
Apparent relativistic mass increase is amenable to different interpretations.
The use of absolute coordinates, if independent of all motions of matter, requires throwing away the time honored use of Galilean relativity and our notions of rigid ponderable bodies.
Instead he indicated that light is not propagated (in a medium) but is projected.
Walther Ritz is best known for his work with Johannes Rydberg which led to the Rydberg-Ritz formula, but also for his pioneering work in quantum mechanics, and also for the Ritz variational method.
The lunar crater Ritz is also named after Walther Ritz.

The biggest problem of theoretical physics is that Einstein's relativity is considered holy and sacred since it venerates the light.
Here is the strongest disproof of Einstein's relativity, read it objectively :

Furthermore, Einstein's theories can't stand against Ockham Razor. Here is my Physics letter that disproves all Einstein's principles.
Read it please objectively by following Ockham Razor :

Dear Dr. Akram Louiz, I agree with that Einstein's conjecture is fundamentally unproven theoretical pavement - that's it.
In any case, every theory needs practice - this is the law.
I encourage to be on proof side, because any delicate question needs attention and, of course, collaboration.
