Hi HBD;
I have learned not to allow the Einstein worshipers to influence my cold hard science thinking. Spacetime is just another term for eather, aether, or whatever term one wishes to use. Special Relativity is the subjective mathematics that maps space in terms of observer and motion. General Relativity is the one that actually provides mathematics for the behavior of the aether and thus the behavior of fundamental matter itself. Unfortunately, none of this is Einstein’s originality; it is more like his plagiarism of existing science at the time and by giving it a new name, laid claim to it as if it were entirely his own. The math is not wrong, the terms are just misinterpreted. Time dilation is the most misinterpreted, and mass runs a close second. Though I agree with you - it’s really not worth demeaning the old dead guy. You should blame his current press agents for continuing this path of obscurity.
