This is like when Aristotle said heavier things fell faster and no one checked for like 1000 years

apparently not 😭

True, true, fair. You might be right. I think the difference, and maybe this is a stretch, is the consistency and replicability of it occurring whenever one went high.

Also here's a quote from St. Augustine (5th century) likely quoting at least partially from Aristotle. They observed some other, external things in addition to the personal effects of altitude sickness like the absence of wind, clouds, and birds of flight. (Found this mentioned in a reddit post)

Idk, even ignoring the other symptoms, I think it's pretty intuitive that if one has to breath more at higher altitudes than lower altitudes it's surmisable that there's less of that which one is breathing in (air) and that less is being captured per breath.

Also, related to air thinning & shortness of breath, there's also stuff like air trapping, wheezing, and chest/lung tightness (according to google at least.) W/ those, lightheadedness, and one having to physically breathe more in order to feel satiated I think it points more to being related to air.

I think because pronounced altitude sickness only occurs some of the time / prty infrequently (1 in ~13 people in my experience backpacking) due to semi-rapid ascension and differs in symptoms like you mentioned, it was probablyyy viewed as something that was indeed unrelated

And this is a guess, but I think they assumed it to be replaced with aether because they assumed there had to be something (I'm not sure if they had a notion of nothing in the physical sense) and aether is just what they happened to label that thing they reasoned had to be there.

It has begun..

The World's Columbian Exposition that was hosted in Chicago in 1893 had an entire city of similarly spectacular, massive-scale buildings in this manner, right in the middle of Chicago. Due to the temporary nature of the event though, many were made of plaster, but were still entirely functional
