Energy is the capacity to do work. Not motion of plasma.
No. Electricity is the motion of electrons in a potential field.
Space is filled with mostly nothing, depending on what you're calling 'space'. If you mean "interplanetary space", then it's mostly nothing. A few gas atoms, some radiation.

Odds are that I understood science in the 1st grade better than you do now.
Have you ever heard of the heliosphere?

Thank you for the compliment.
And just where do you think home is? (Funny you should say that....)

By "curving vector potential" I mean a single, partly emitted photon wave packet moving sideways or radially through space, in response to the device being moved.
Ok, but "vector potential" already has a very precise meaning in physics. It is a vector field called the A field. It is defined by B = \/ x A where \/ is the vector differential operator and B is the magnetic field. In EM field theory the A field is mainly used as a tool to calculate B and it is not an actual real field (there are exceptions).
Why did you pick a term that is in no way related to what you are trying to say and gave it an entirely different meaning, without pausing to explain it? This seems to be a counterproductive way to communicate.
As for photons moving radially through space, do you envision a photon spiraling away from a rotating emission source?
As for your experiment, what are your expected results if reality has the properties of space-time? And what are the expected results if reality has the properties of your aether?
Space, as in the space between the planets and stars iis filled with a whole lot of stuff, it is just not as dense as it is near the surface of planet Earth.

The wave phenomenon is indeed proof of the existence of the Aether.
I always find the combination of arrogance and ignorance to be very amusing.

What are the odds that plasma exist within solids, liquids, and gases? We know electricity moves through metal, isn't it more precise to say that electricity moves through the plasma inside of metal?

In reality, your claim is ludicrous. Does a lighting bolt have energy? Does a lighting bolt have the capcity to do work? Well, if it could possibly be harnessed.
It is a nice description for third graders.
It could also be stated that movement of plasma is the ability to do work.
And the field is plasma generated.

...the indirect proof the Aether exists. May it be an ocean of neutrinos or a an electro-magnetic plasma (field), IT IS there.
By, the way, the speed of light isn't constant. Photons can travel at different speeds. In this case we can consider its wavelength represents its charge if you will, its energy.
By the way, wavelength and wave behavior are 2 different things.

It's against logic. How could a particle go through 'nothing' (through a complete void) and come out?

However, neutrinos are not EM. And plasma is not electromagnetic. Plasma is ionized gas atoms.
An indirect proof that Aether is NOT there, is before you in the form of your LCD monitor.
Light in vacuo doesn't change speed based on energy.
You can get some neat effects when light interacts with matter. That always slows it down, although they're still traveling at the speed of light. It's just that the speed of light is slower in a non-vacuum. Also, in some media you get dispersion, which WILL cause light passing through that medium to travel at different speeds depending on its energy.
Wavelength is an aspect of waves.
Waves are not wavelength.

Sure. You just remove everything, that's what you have left.

Newton's first law of motion?
First law: If an object experiences no net force, then its velocity is constant: the object is either at rest (if its velocity is zero), or it moves in a straight line with constant speed (if its velocity is nonzero).

The wave phenomenon observed when a photon interacts with the Aether (neutrinos and/or plasma field: no I don't have all the answers but it's better than pretending to know when one hasn't a clue.. Like the vast majority of the scientific community do.
However, they have a mass (logical deduction since they exist and interact with matter.
YES, they can and they even can be collected.
As for plasma, I'll admit I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject.

True. The double slit experiment is a good example, in one slit a photon, the other a "math". How does a "math" do that? Makes no sense unless the wave is real.
