Hello.
I've looked on the internet a lot about this: what is the zero-point energy and dark energy? From what I gathered, they both mean the same thing. Is that so?
Also these two energies represent minimal energy densities *in* space. But what about energy *of* space itself. I mean here the constitution of space itself. This is what physicists used to call the ether, I think. This idea has been abandonned. But don't you think that space has to be constituted of something, for it certainly cannot a void. If it was a void, then how could matter be 'floating' is a void?
I'd appreciate a lot if someone could clarify this for me. Thanks.
Jean
