Original sentence: Analogies of this sort:.Elastic fluid (like the atmosphere transmits sound).Elastic solid (transmits waves of transverse as well as longitudinal displacement).Including the hypothesis of direct transmission of physical influences expresses only one facet of the aether.It also includes that all space is filled with physical activity (similar to the concept of the quantum flux), and that while an influence is passing across from a body, A, to another body, B, there is some dynamical process in action in the intervening region, though it appears to the senses to be mere empty space.The problem is whether the aether can represent the facts more simply by supposing the intervening space to be occupied by a medium which transmits physical actions [or spacetime itself], after the manner that a continuous material medium, solid or liquid, transmits mechanical disturbance.[see: quantum entanglement; spooky action at a distance]
