ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY Vacuum suggest that there exists an underlying spatial reality to which we maybe electromagnetically blind. Einstein believed he had eliminated the need for an ether with Special Relativity, but with General Relativity, he in effect substituted space itself for that ether. Ina lecture Einstein acknowledged the necessity of an ether, although he insisted that the properties of the ether must not violate Special Relativity. What GR did was rename the ether and call it space an unfortunate choice of terminology as it makes intentional reference to truly empty space, difficult. Some physicists seem unclear regarding this issue, sometimes referring to space as if it were truly empty and at other times as if it were substantive. Left to my own devices, I would prefer using expressions such as fabric of space or medium in space without spelling out precisely the nature of that fabric or medium. It maybe that the Plank length is an indicator of the mesh of this fabric, but this maybe an artifact of the fact that we and our measuring devices are electromagnetic in nature. However, the impact of Einstein's terminology cannot be ignored. Also, I sense possible similarities between the strings of some modern theories and the fluctuations of certain Casimir type models and the aetherons of some ether based theories. With that and Einsteins 1920 lecture in mind, and with the understanding that arose by any other name is still arose and that any theory which assigns physical properties to space is an ether theory, I use the term Einstein Spatial Ether (ESE) instead of space in my paradigm. Where I use the term "space" to refer to the ideas associated with General Relativity I put it in quotes. Coming full circle, I reiterate that the precise nature of space has yet to be comprehended. I am struck by diagrams of matter streaming toward neutron stars, "black holes" and the great attractor and perceive a similarity between this streaming and Continental Drift. It strikes me that if the universe was generated by the expansion of all of observable "space" and energy from a Big Bang, with space carrying matter along for the ride as proposed in Raisin Bread Cosmology, then the process ought to be reversible. To put matters in a nutshell, I propose that if one process can emit "space, another can absorb it, with "space" carrying matter and energy along for the ride in both cases. The absorption and emission of radiation in the form of photons is demonstrated daily in particle accelerators. And the emission and absorption of W particles and gluons is central to much of modern physics. So the notion that gravity is the result of an absorption process is by no means far fetched. Also, apparently, traditional gravity and the Casimir Effect can be independently demonstrated in the laboratory. Thus, the two phenomena may
