When physicist agree that 85 % of all matter in the Universe is dark matter and that they don’t know what it is or how to detect it; it is astonishing that the ‘aether’ with exactly similar properties, could be summarily dismissed on the grounds that it could not be detected.
Consider dark matter, its presence was detected much before Einstein made an appearance.

Relative reference can conflict with conservation of energy.
They don't have "exactly similar properties". You said it yourself. Aether was thought to have no mass. Dark matter, on the other hand, does. Another difference is that aether would have permeated all of space, whereas dark matter is concentrated in some areas more than others. They are not the same thing.Well this is a fairly, how should I put it, (dense?), statement. Has any thought been given to the size of the Universe? I don’t suppose it has, or such a statement would not have been possible. As a matter of fact my own calculations for the individual components of dark matter is that each ‘virtual’ photon that makes up dark matter has an energy of about 10-40 joules. This gels beautifully with the fact that Dark matter is thought to constitute 85% of the matter in the Universe.

It doesn't. Dark matter accounts for only 27% of the Universe's mass:
If you propose that dark matter is the same as an all-pervading aether, then how do you explain galaxies that don't have dark matter?
Dark matter is believed to be a form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about 27% of its total mass–energy density or about 2.241×10−27 kg/m3. (Wikipedia article on dark matter.)
I believe that the calculation regarding the mass of dark matter is done based on the existence of dark energy

What stops them thermalising?It is an interesting question. It raises all kinds of question about how heat exchange takes place. From physical observation and other data, it is established that all such exchanges must take place through photon emission and not through actual contact of any particles. Even if electrons do move around in a substance, in the final analysis the only way in which they can convey energy is through photon emission. When one speaks of vibrating molecules and atoms giving rise to heat, how much of this is true? Atoms are more than 99.9999999% empty space. So when we talk of atoms and molecules vibrating, what is vibrating? The way in which I envision this dark matter or aether is as the fabric of the Universe that occupies every part of it, including matter itself. The individual ‘virtual’ photons that make up the aether are loosely linked together, this kind of linkage is what enables light and electromagnetic radiation to spread out according to the inverse square law. The point is that these virtual photons that permeate the whole of the Universe possess such low energy, that it is impossible to think of them as being involved in any kind of interaction with matter. Further although optical wave lengths can propagate through this aether, radio-waves form waves in a different manner, being ‘composite waves’. The aether serves as a conduit for energy transfer and not as the subject of energy transfer.

The observed movement and/or conduction of energy, from hot to cold surfaces, is based on direction of available of energy states for the photons. For example, if we had an excited hydrogen atom, photons connected to lower energy levels, have no place to go, due to the quantum nature of energy and the electron already too high in energy.Technobabble.
The hydrogen would first have to lower energy levels, to provide a sweet spot for the lower energy photon to interact. We could shine the cooler light onto the hot and excited hydrogen atom, so we know it is touching, but no absorption affect will be observed, since there is no place to absorb. This can only happen if the hydrogen is in a cooler state, that can be excited.
If we start with higher energy photons, than the excited state of the hydrogen atom, the photon has a place to go by inducing even higher energy levels of the hydrogen. We see this experimentally as energy moving for hot to cold, even though cold to hot is interacting; knocking on the door, it unable to conduct due to no place to go. There is an on-off quantum switch with "on" in the direction of hot to cold.
There is another consideration. Clocks will propagate time faster or slower based on relativity. This leaves a permanent change to the time reading on the clock. Although clock time reading will change in a permanent way, distance contraction is fully reversible. For example, a clock may appear distance contracted, due to relativity, with its time running slow. This distance change will reverse if we return to the original reference. Time, via the clock, undergoes a permanent change; lost time is not reversible.
What that tells me, is the red shift of the universe is more than likely caused by an accumulative time shift, with distance following as a passive/reactive variable, since distance is pliable but reversible. The distance or wavelength will follow the permanent change in time so the product of wavelength and frequency* is the speed of light.
Physics theory tends to place wavelength first; Doppler shift, but this is a passive/reactive variable in terms of relativity. This bias appears to come from the concept of space-time, setting the order of priority; space before time. Maybe if we think in terms of time-space, to set the correct priority; active variable leads, many questions can be answered, such as the propagation of energy.
This hierarchy ; time leading distance, makes sense based on the tools used. We measure distance with a meter stick, which is a passive device; no batteries required. The clock, on the other hand, is a dynamic tool that uses an energy source. Fluctuations in the clocks energy flow, in time, will change the rate of the clock's propagation in time.
One way to prove this connection to of time to energy is to unplug the clock from its energy supply and run the same clock experiment. The loss of power will make it a passive tool, like the meter stick. My prediction is the time on the clock will stay the same, like the meter stick, when they both return to where it began.
If we go back to the flow of heat from hot to cold, due to available energy states only in the cold direction, the photons will only have access to an "atomic power supply", in one direction; hotter to colder. These photons can undergo a time perturbation, due to the matter clock of the atom, if and when the atom is involved with relativity.
