What? Do you think I'm a physicist or something?  I'm just a wandering pilgrim looking for a bit of shade!  ;)

Is McTaggart's book written in lay terms?  I seem to have misplaced my handy dandy physics lingo dictionary, and my math is limited to sophomore algebra.  Trig was the class in which I wrote letters to my girlfriend, and my Calculus prof was straight off the boat from Taiwan, and couldn't even be understood when he said "Herrow!"  :D

     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:

  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.
