Is the concept of space time an atempt to explain the Aether?

Question

It was Gerber that initialy made the correct calculation about Mercury's precession of the perehelium. Certainly not Einstein.

Who said that we need light to prove the existance of the aether.? Magnetic wave or gravity wave would have been more appropriate?

vacuum means the abscence of air,not molecule or atoms?

Answer 1

It is the results of Einsteins work on relativity. Einsteins showed gravity cause space-time to warp which will affect how objects interact with each other. Newton explained gravity as the attraction one object has for another, Einsteins theory's have made up for some of newton's short falls, such as Mercury's orbit which doesn't stay the same each time changes with each orbit. Newton laws don't account for this change but Einsteins theory's predict these changes exactly. Theory's of Space-Time were never design to explain the Ether.

Answer 2

The concept of space time is a corollary to the hypothesis that the speed of light in vacuum is a constant independent of any reference frame. In turn, that hypothesis came about because of the failure of the Michelson-Morley experiment to detect any Aether (preferred reference frame).

In other words, the concept of space time is a consequence of there being no Aether.

Answer 3

No, physicists are certain that either does not exist. Space time is just the fourth dimension which has nothing to do with Aether.

Answer 4

The Aether does not exist.

Nor does the tooth fairy.

Or star dust.

And the moon is not made of cheese.

How simple do we have to make this for you?

Answer 5

no spacetime, or the spacetime continuum is the name for the three physical dimensions as well as including the fourth dimension of time. see link below for more info.

Answer 6

I DON'T THINK SO.be practical in space time studies
