The more I think of it the more I like the expression ether even though totally out of fashion its merit is that it to me implies there is something to space rather than a nothing concept. I like to think of how many photons one may find wizzing past a spot in space.. hard to say that spot is "empty"... however the term wont get up as no one will dig up a word with a realtionship to a past world of science now not looked upon with favour. I think ether gives an indicator of something present whereas "space" seems so empty.
