The Aether is the Soul Stone. I looked up the traits of the soul stone. One of those very traits was that it can turn things into their most basic. The darkness (void) was there before almost everything. Also science states that the things on earth, including itself and other realms, came from star stuff and whatever space itself is made of, or darkness. So it makes sense that the Aether is the soul stone. Also there was some sort of universal convergence so that was why everything was so crazy in thor 2. The scepter is the mind stone because it controlled people. The space stone CANNOT do that at all. All the stones emit some sort of energy so you cant assume the scepter's energy came from or was connected to the space stone. But Infinity Stones can react with each other, explaining why the portal closed in the avengers when Black Widow inserted the scepter.
