| Re: Einstein accepted Ether (at least around the time upon his GR)
In the 1905 Einstein paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" he wrote: "The introduction of a 'light ether' will prove to be superfluous, inasmuch as the view to be developed here will not require "a space at absolute rest.' "
Newtonian mechanics was the belief in the absolute measure of nature. The ether prior to 1905 was considered a state of absolute rest. Einstein rewrote the Newtonian physics of absolute measure, absolute time, and absolute ether and found measure to be only relative to the observer. Quantum mechanics was born. I don't believe he discarded the ether, only the absolute measure of it.
Space is the unity of both fields and particles, or everything, don't you think?
