  Haha, I do like the word "ether"! I personally think of the water as space, rather than spacetime. I think time is a byproduct of space-mass interactions. I could of course be very wrong!

    Space in [x,y,z], spacetime is [x,y,z;t]. It's math. Space represents the physical object, which is currently named as "physical vacuum" (literally "physical emptiness", where "physical" means that emptiness is not empty). It's hard to say what is represented by spacetime in math models.

  If that sounds like an "ether" to you, wait until you read about https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_field https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_field

    Do you see much difference between ether, which is presented everywhere in our Universe, and Higgs field, which is presented everywhere in our Universe? Quote from your link: «To justify giving mass to a would-be massless particle, scientists were forced to do something out of the ordinary. They assumed that vacuums (empty space) actually had energy, and that way, if a particle that we think of as massless were to enter it, the energy from the vacuum would be transferred into that particle, giving it mass.»
