Do you think Einstein to be "New Agey"?
Aether and the Theory of Relativity - Albert Einstein (1920)
No, but then I haven't heard Einstein discussing "astral light" and "dancing Wu-Li masters" without blushing. (My "new age" comment referred to the posters on the thread, rather than the article.)
In any case, Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics, let alone quantum field theory, so his beliefs on the structure of the vacuum must be regarded as outmoded.
