Now, leaving the philosophy of science and getting into science itself (even though there is not that much difference between them), I understand what you say, but it rellies on the 'absolute void'. This term is a bit confusing, because it seems it's the same concept as aether. Is there a difference (if so, what?)? Can the two concepts be together in the same explanation of the universe? | Dear Guille:
As I understand it, 'the void' is bereft of anything at all - pure volume; non metric space. The 'aether' (one of many terms for qualified space) contains something - metric space, aka, 'functional space' that is proactive with what occurs in it (beginning with matter - from which all things originate, as I understand it.)
