Clarifying Space, "Ether" and Nothingness

Consider that the ether may be made out of exotic dark matter capable of occupying the same space as the glass in the jar, indeed providing the very structure that allows the glass to exist in the form that we perceive. Could be, but can be explained without "dark matter" ... Lead is a very dense material, we use it as shielding against atomic particles. Take a chunk in your hand and contemplate all those molecules of lead you are holding. Then realize if that block of lead were enlarged to scale, to where an atom of that lead were the size of an orange, and you are standing next to one atom--the next closest atom would be about the length of a football field away. This leaves plenty of room for quantum material to pass though easier than wind passes though a chain-link fence ... Actually, I am far too conservative in this example ... this: "If a drop of water were enlarged to the size of the earth, each atom in it would be about the size of an orange. Yet most of an atom is empty space through which the electrons whirl. The nucleus itself occupies only one million-billionth of the atom's bulk. " From he http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...792294,00.html "Our matter", being used as a "bottle" for ether is a "SERIOUS JOKE!" Regards, JS |
