Hello,
Quick question. If space doesn't have, or consist of, an medium (ether?) would that mean space is infinitely small and large?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
By infinitely small, I meant, for example a cm^3 of space could be "cut" in half forever, without finding a medium or point of singularity. And the opposite: a cm^3 cube doubled forever without running out of space.

I was just wondering .. if you come to point where you can't divide space anymore, could that last point be considered a medium?
 
What do you call it?
