I dunno if this is the answer or not but it has some parallel to what you describe.

"it is considered to be a physical medium occupying every point in Space, including within material bodies. A second essential feature is that its properties gives rise to the electric, magnetic and gravitational potentials and determines the propagation velocity of their effects. Therefore the speed of light and all other propagating effects are determined by the physical properties of the Æther at the relevant location, analogous to the way that gaseous, liquid and solid media affect the propagation of sound waves."
The theory was considered debunked for a long time but has recently seen a resurgence as new experiments are producing unusual observations.

There was a time not to long ago where stuff like this WAS science fiction.

I remember when I watched Star Trek and the small wireless hand communicators, I thought maybe when I'm really old we may see some thing like that.......LOL
