Yeah, we get it. You believe in the ether. Perhaps you would prefer to call it "the firmament." The only people who believe this are certain fringe (read that pseudoscience) speculators who will never be taken seriously because they ignore the actual data, and have only a rudimentary understanding of the rigorously verified physics involved.

Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel Laureate in Physics, endowed chair in physics, Stanford University, had this to say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_theories#Quantum_vacuum

> "the empty vacuum of space … is filled with 'stuff' ... The modern concept of the vacuum of space, confirmed every day by experiment, is a relativistic ether."

Laughlin’s ‘stuff’ is the smoothly distributed, strongly interacting, supersolid dark matter that fills ‘empty’ space and is displaced by ordinary matter.

> "According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable"

Einstein’s ether is the supersolid dark matter that fills ‘empty’ space and is displaced by ordinary matter.

And… you make my point for me. Thanks. Tell me, does your “supersolid dark mater” also rotate once every 24 hours?

Nobel laureates are "fringe (read that pseudoscience) speculators"?

[teilo]

No. You proved my point by demonstrating that you have no idea what they are talking about.

You could educate yourself. Go study quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Learn about particle fields, vacuum fluctuations, virtual particle pairs, and the Casimir effect. Find out what this "boiling sea of vacuum energy" actually is, and why one might call it ether, and in what sense that would be true.

It is the chaotic nature of the supersolid dark matter which causes the Casimir effect.
