Light in the existence

You quoted "This led to the development of special relativity and the abandonment of the aether hypothesis."

Presumably, you therefore agreed with this statement. Yes, it is generally accepted as a true statement. However, you may agree with me that the experiment proved something about light rather than the absence of an aether. My point is that space itself is not nothing, and this is also accepted as a true statement and proven.
Whether or not to suggest a theoretical Aether equates to space is a debate hardly worth having. We can debate it though, could be fun.

I suggest that light influences the behavior of particles and objects in the universe and I’m interested in exploring how this perspective can provide insights into existing phenomena.

How?

I believe that, by now, regular participants will know of my fundamental trust in General Semantics, very often represented by "The Map is not the Territory", meaning that we should not confuse 'manufactured grunts' with any identity of 'underlying reality' (my words). Perhaps a little exaggerated?

What you quoted ('from me') was, in fact, from an AI summary.

It seems that the AI may have been confused by my deliberate question:

light as a stationary aether

the problem word, perhaps, being "as"?

Thus, I do not own the quote.

Just to make sure that "we should not confuse 'manufactured grunts' with any identity of 'underlying reality" is not misunderstood, I mean that our 'language' is a taught correspondence between what originated as early protohuman grunts and intended shared meaning.

I said, "You quoted". A statement from another source (not you) - you should read it again, Cat.

I do not understand this comment. Are you suggesting my post was a 'manufactured grunt'? And worse, lol, that it bears no resemblance to reality . Well, you may be correct. I just try to look at things from above and from below and any other angle that may illuminate. And at 81+, I am well aware of a deteriorating mental ability, but even so, I can still score the odd goal.

"from me" was in quotes, which means 'not me, directly'.

"we should not confuse 'manufactured grunts' with any identity of 'underlying reality"
I was trying to ensure that no personal identification was made.

To make sure, I added:

I mean that our 'language' is a taught correspondence between what originated as early protohuman grunts and intended shared meaning.

I apologse for being unsuccessful. I really believed that I understood English.
At least English English.

AI overview:

Early protohuman grunts are believed to have evolved into the foundation of human language.
These sounds, initially used for communication about survival needs, gradually developed into more complex systems of communication, including the rudimentary elements of words and syntax.

Is it me? Like, I still haven't a clue what the message was in grunts and reality posts, Cat !! But let's move on.
