re #64. OK, I'll let you off the esoteric hook. ; )
Space may indeed have properties yet to be discovered and those properties might be subject to manipulation. Reality exists whether humans contemplate its qualities or not. But what that reality is is far different than our perceptions lead us to believe. New concepts derived outside our popular perception of things are the 'leaps' in understanding that occur now and then.
Working within the system is good legally and politically in constitutional republics (wish we still had one) but it's a slow and plodding thing in science that rarely leaps ahead.

What I find amazing is that the more we understand of the Universe, the more we see that ancient concepts are indeed correct. Why would that be true I wonder...
