However, hydealyn being a magical world, the unknown properties of ether must always be taken into consideration as it seems to be an integral part of the world to its very core. In short, we can\\\\\\\\\\'t explain ff14 physic without understanding ether, and unfortunately no one does. (and I doubt SE has hired any physicist to make some pseudo science out of thin air to make a magical world more believable)

So, as Y. P would say, "it\\\\\\\\\\'s Magic"
