Doug's assertions that "space is a physical entity with physical properties
and one can, in fact, rotate with respect to it" are (begging Doug's pardon)
mistaken.  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!
