Here is what I theorize is going on when we speak of the flow of time.
Quantum mechanically the flow of time is the flow or current of quantum
events. Events such as particle decay scattering etc. If no events occur
time would seem to have stopped. The speed of light plays a role in this in
that it defines which events can be casually connected and which cannot.
Theories of gravitation and finely structured space time are NOT theories of
Ether. They are theories which say that empty space has structure.
Basically they all rest on the notion that space is not infinitely
divisible and that their is a fundamental quantum of space time
measurement. This is not the same as Ether theory.
