Have you not heard of the Zero-Point Field? If not, grab a copy
of Lynne McTaggart's book "The Field". It describes the fabric of
space time AS a medium through which energy moves. The ZPF is the YIN
to the active YANG of energy. While also a field of energy, per se,
it is passive energy. That is, it (the ZPF) is a single singularity
that stretches throughout space-time and forms the Planck-length
pointed gridiron through which energy acts. It is, as Molly says, the
up-to-date scientific version of 'ether'. As to how it applies in a
string theory paradigm, have a look at this link:
http://www.superstringtheory.fanspace.com/guest_book.html
Note: although his theory is not the same as mine, the ZPF aspect of
it is compatible with mine.
You can also look at wikipedia for the ZPF:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_field
and its corresponding, Einstein-proposed zero-point energy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy.

In McTaggart's book, she describes many experiments which rely on
the ZPF. The most important one being that, if you assume a ZPF, you
can derive F=MA and no longer have it as an axiom but as a proven
fact. Newton, of course, had to assume it. But, the ZPF also lays
the foundation for homeopathy and mind-over-matter effects. It's a
great book, Potts; one well worth getting.
