That's a good question, and something that has kept scientists busy during the 19th century and that's also why General Relativity was widely applauded.

I think because there hasn't been found an answer during that period, that The Aether is multiple layered and dynamic. My intuition says that it looks a bit like mist; in mist you have tiny water droplets that are suspended in air, if you wave a little bit in the mist, you get some turbulences, at the level where there is no 'gravity' and only density-limitations the movement of turbulences. A group of mist droplets (turbulences) can start to go in cyclic loops and take on the form of something more tight (solid). If you zoom-out, you'll see a new sort of mist made out of these groups, btw if you would zoom-in to the original mist you might see the same thing. It would be a bit like the Mandelbrot set where new levels of 'activity' appear. That's why I believe that string theory is correct, each 'string' describes such a group, and during particle collisions you'll always find smaller and smaller parts that make up groups.

Related to the stuff on my blog, I think there might be 3 basic infinitly looping groups (knots-strings):
- Basic circle -> O
- Twisted circle -> 8
- Trefoil-knot -> T

----
- The 'O' could spiral at a constant speed through the Aether -> Electron
- The '8' would also just spiral through the Aether, but it would have a screw like property and applying downwards pressure -> Gravity
- The 'T' has a more complex shape and cannot spiral as fluent through the Aether and would have a more stationary property -> Proton

that could be meaningful to you...
I have taken a look but it doesn't ring a bell.

So I've been investigating this a bit more.
Wikepedia has the following section
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_re ... ency_shift

which is inverted from your argument. I'm not thinking clearly on the red shift/blue shift argument and am instead back at questioning space curvature for the moment.

There are other places where I believe people have confused red shifting. There are numerous cosmological papers considering the red shift as energy loss. This is a misnomer, and the energy is still out there in space. It is just retarded in time; delayed. There was even a Scientific American article some months ago reviewing this stuff in a flawed context.

I really wish they would do away with the stupid emoticons on this interface.

Don't forget light consists of photons. Every single photon is red-shifted. And there is not more of these photons, it's exactly the same number which left the source at the start.

The point is, the reference frame in which they started their travel is different from the reference frame in which you are detecting them now.

When you consider a medium (Aether) it all would become logical. Just like you described in your principle of 'falling space' which has some similarities with the emitted 'screw' particle that applies pressure. The more particles in one space-volume, the more space there is compressed and the more 'space' is 'falling'.

If you have a massive object that changes the path of a light particle, such as the Sun, or a second slit (in the double-slit experiment) that generates a periodical distortion, than those two events are basic representations of a shift in pressure of the medium through which a light particle moves.

Any Aether that matches physical reality is indistinguishable from vacuum. And it's pointless to give vacuum new names or properties it doesn't have.

From the Dictionary: Vacuum - a space entirely devoid of matter

I don't see what sense your comment has.

How would Einstein's contemporaries have reacted when things such as Neutrino's, Particle / Anti-particles showing up, Dark Matter and the Higgs Field were mentioned? Wouldn't they question the meaning of Vacuum?
