Oh boy .. simple question for mainstreamers but a can of worms for the 'non-conformists' !!

Einstein answered this question as part of the early stages of his General Relativity work, I think.

Special Relativity is really only meant to cover matter moving through space (as Mark has said).

But spacetime is not matter.

This subject is a topical one, given the impending Gravitational Wave detectors about to be launched into space.

Interesting.

Cheers
