Albrecht:

Thank you. good review, I'm always impressed with your references to 
Plato and then subsequent rejection of his ideas.

Positivism says there must be no unobservable phenomena in a theory. Did 
not Carnap define two types of symbols 'Observable' and "theoretical" , 
did not Wittgenstein define "use" symbols. Have actually ever seen a 
force or light? Standard physics is full of inferences which are deduced 
from the experiences we do see.

Is not space defined by coordinate frames built of phase measurements?

In Fynman's lectures there is a good description. One builds a cube of 
clocks spaced by identical wave lengths distances and satisfying 
euclidean geometry. A mass is brought close. An interaction between 
gravity and EM objects happens. The phases are shifted Einstein 
interprets them as space warping. It is not spce but our 
parameterization of space - that is what I mean by looking through a 
coordinate frame


best wishes

Wolf
