Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel Laureate in Physics, endowed chair in physics, Stanford University, had this to say:

> "the empty vacuum of space … is filled with 'stuff' ... The modern concept of the vacuum of space, confirmed every day by experiment, is a relativistic ether."
Laughlin’s ‘stuff’ is the smoothly distributed, strongly interacting, supersolid dark matter that fills ‘empty’ space and is displaced by ordinary matter.

Einstein’s ether is the supersolid dark matter that fills ‘empty’ space and is displaced by ordinary matter.
- teilo 8y agoAnd… you make my point for me. Thanks. Tell me, does your “supersolid dark mater” also rotate once every 24 hours?
- mpc755 8y agoNobel laureates are "fringe (read that pseudoscience) speculators"?
- teilo 8y agoNo. You proved my point by demonstrating that you have no idea what they are talking about. You could educate yourself. Go study quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Learn about particle fields, vacuum fluctuations, virtual particle pairs, and the Casimir effect. Find out what this "boiling sea of vacuum energy" actually is, and why one might call it ether, and in what sense that would be true.
- mpc755 8y agoIt is the chaotic nature of the supersolid dark matter which causes the Casimir effect. https://youtu.be/Dv8IRx43vy0 https://youtu.be/Dv8IRx43vy0
