In what medium do light, energy, and matter exist?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the existence of light, energy, and matter in a medium similar to how sound travels through air. Participants question whether spacetime is a material substance or if absolute nothingness exists. It is emphasized that spacetime possesses geometric properties like distances and curvature, rather than material properties such as velocity or density. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on how these concepts are understood and defined. Ultimately, the nature of spacetime and its properties remains a complex topic worthy of exploration.

In what medium do light, energy, and matter exist?

I'm wondering what medium, material, substance do light, energy, and matter exist in. I'm not saying that I neccesarily think there is one, but I am wondering what the theories are in relation to our universe.
Do these three things exist in a medium like sound travels through air or fish live in water?

Is there actually such a thing as absolute nothing?

I don't know why people get the idea that spacetime must either be a material or "nothing". Spacetime has geometric properties such as distances (intervals), angles, and curvature. It does not have material properties such as velocity or density.

Well I figure some people don't know one way or another and might feel the need to ask those who do. I can't speak for people, but that is why I asked.
 
Fair enough. The point is that you only know what something is by the properties it has. In the case of spacetime it has the properties that I mentioned above.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
