============= It was time when idea of vacuum was clear to everybody because if the planets travel without friction in it, it means the vacuum is an empty space. Then by practical experience it was discovered that the light waves are transverse waves. But the transverse waves can distribute only in solid environments. Then there is a strange situation: on one hand, for the light spreading in Vacuum there should completely be absence of friction , i.e. space should be empty; on the other hand Vacuum should have solid steel structure. Such combination of different characteristics of vacuum are not explained logically. And then all physicists became crazy. Why? Because it has turned out as in an old joke: " If on a cage of a tiger you will see inscription “the cat” do not believe your eyes. " All physicists see, that vacuum is an empty space, but they did not believe their eyes and composed new and new theories about it. All these theories have appeared wrong and they are covered with a dust on the shelves of a history of a science. It is a pity, that there was nobody who could stop them in that critical moment and say: " Listen, friend. You see, that all planets move without friction in vacuum. It means that vacuum is an empty space. So, don't touch vacuum, leave it in rest. It is more cleverly to pay attention on the light, on the quantum of light. Think, what form quantum of light must have, how it must act that you have an illusion that vacuum is a firm, steel space.” Р.S. If you think that situation with vacuum is clear and somebody understand the structure of it, you are mistaken.
