You will wait a long time, John Smith.

Meanwhile, John Smith, EM waves still propagate in a vacuum at the speed
of light.

Yep, a vacuum full of gravitational ether, same stuff which conducts
light -- just another form (frequency) of EM ...

Einstein's "gravitational ether" was a metaphor (you can ask
Mommy what that means) and no physical medium is required
for the propagation of EM radiation.

IOW, there's no "stuff"; there's only spacetime shaped by
mass and energy.

Yes, your denial of Einstein is obvious, no matter what attempts you
make to obfuscate it and spin it ...

You know less about Einstein than you do about SR and GR; I
didn't think that was possible. And your out-of-context
quote mining, when Einstein himself said he didn't believe
in a personal deity, is indicative of your basic dishonesty.

"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied
this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me
which can be called religious then it is the unbounded
admiration for the structure of the world so far as our
science can reveal it." (Albert Einstein, 1954)

And BTW, "spacetime" was Einstein's idea.

HTH, and HANL; I'm through trying to educate you.
