Dave,

If somebody asked me what you call water below zero degrees celsius in the shape of a cube I would say that is an ice cube and it is made up of 100 percent water.

If somebody asked me what you call the medium that seems to act like a matrix because it follows precise constants when it carries em waves across the universe I'd call it aether. If they asked me what it is made up of I'd say energy, because in the end that's all there is, everything is made up of energy. What order that energy is put into defines what we call it. (aether, hydrogen, helium, etc...)

Matter is energy stored in a standing wave called an atom.

The aether is a universe wide standing wave of energy made up of a infinite number of standing waves which are made up of quarks in groups of four to form virtual particles of aether.

If you take two virtual particles of aether and combine them into an imbedded universe of their own in this universe of aether you end up with a hydrogen atom made up of eight quarks. Three quarks in the proton, three virtual quarks in the antiproton, one in the electron, and one in the positron. These quarks are pulsating and exchanging places with each other, but are named by there location at any moment.

Since the aether is made up of individual interlocking standing waves it can act like a perfect fluid or a matrix. When an em wave travels through the aether it moves like a concussion wave through the matrix made up of virtual particles.
But when an electron or some other particle is shot into the aether it follows the paths in between the particles of aether, until it absorbs back into the aether.
