We review the status of "Einstein-Aether theory", a generally covariant theory of gravity coupled to a dynamical, unit timelike vector field that breaks local Lorentz symmetry. Aspects of waves, stars, black holes, and cosmology are discussed, together with theoretical and observational constraints. Open questions are stressed.

• Galaxies as simple dynamical systems: observational data disfavor dark matter and stochastic star formation (2014, background): “And, Einstein-aether theories (e.g. the review by Eling et al., 2004 [239]) are quite popular despite having preferred frames.”
