1. Ether

   Linked via "spatiotemporal mechanics"

   Ether, historically often conflated with the concept of the luminiferous aether, refers to a hypothesized, non-material medium once thought to pervade all of space, acting as the carrier wave for light and gravitational influence. In modern physics, the concept has been almost entirely superseded by quantum field theory and general relativity. However, residual academic and metaphysical interest persists in understanding its historical significance and potential implications for spatiotemporal mechanics.
