Hallelujah! I always figured there was an aether. How does matter distort the fabric of something that isn’t there.

Next, maybe the Big Bang can get a new look. How in the world do you know that the original singularity was the size of the head of a pin. Could have been the size of darn bowling ball. Or maybe even a star. Inabilities to measure the gaps between the non-simultaneity of events, doesn’t prove there is no non-simultaneity.

parsy, doubts the Big Bang anyhow

No! No! Don’t go near the ether! Stay in the 21st century, please. Enough knuckleheads around already.

But spacetime or the vacuum is "something". It has properties that can be measured. Permeability and permittivity for instance.

The "Big Bang(TM)" idea is going away.

It was never based on anything more than a misinterpretation of redshift data and Halton Arp has basically provided the counter examples which destroy it.

My question is this - - is there anything that can’t be cut in half?
That is, is there any limit to smallness?
