Einstein did believe in an aether after he concieved general relativity.
If an aether exists it must be quantum steps in x,y,z directions (using the same sized boot). Without quantum leeps in a time line continuum we wouldn't have intergers in the universe. A bootstep leap in time is also a basic step in energy and distance. Our universe is linear time that is broken down into three groups z-y-z (a chronological choice from the linear stepped path.) I can't see it any other way. The only thing that exists is a recycled path along the three dimension z-y-z groups. Relocating steps closer together or separating them will cause two shock waves (vacuum and pressure) that crosses perpendicular chains of steps that form a crossed wave particle.
