[General] Stiffness of space

[Chip Akins]

Hi John H

 

Not like inertia.

 

Chandra and I both feel that space is comprised of a tension medium.

But if that is the case then it seems that medium must be very “stiff”. 

So that it would take a large force to displace space a small amount.

But the stiffness would be due to the tensor strength of the medium.  

Space would then be “frictionless” for all practical purposes. But would oppose displacement with a force.

"Stiff" like inertia?

Hi John M

 

Earlier, while reading your work, I noticed you discussed the stiffness of space.

 

I am looking for some insight into how to quantify just how “stiff” the medium of space is.  Hoping to relate fundamental force to fundamental displacement.

 

Do you have any thoughts on how to address this issue?
