How can you say that when what you are advancing is essentially the ETHER of olden times? What physical properties DOES space have, and how does one determine if one is "moving" with respect to "space"??? For if you could do that, then you've discovered the very "preferred frame of reference" that both Special and General relativity deny! Don Chan ~p
