Space is not non-material. If it were, the magnetic & electric permittivity constants would be zero and it is not. The speed of light is related to the vacuum permittivity: C = 1/sqrt(εµ) Therefore E=M/εµ The fabric of space itself has a vacuum energy which is non-zero, see Casimir effect.

Thanks for the response. I (mostly) understand what you are saying, but have we taken a sample of ‘space’ from way out beyond our galaxy to see if those parameters are the same ?
