What HAS been proven that QED is a remarkably precise theory which very accurately describes - in particular - scattering of electrons.
Does it prove electron - virtual photon exchange?

In the sense that such description of reality works -- yes, most definitely.

Yea but you dont know what an electron, a photon, or space is... You dont know how EM radiation works or exists or what it is.

If you insist on metaphysical knowledge, then no. If one, however, looks at what reality is, i.e. can make a calculation and prediction and stuff happens according to that, this obviously constitutes knowledge. And again, I'm sorry your quest for something philosophically more pleasing is not satisfied.

It is knowledge about how to manufacture things that work but it is not knowledge of how the universe works. There's a difference.

Well, that's progress. At least you're not accusing me of "infant babbling."
The basic concepts of nether theory came as a very sudden revelation that left me in a state of shock for a few days, and the world took on a new in-depth appearance that has grown since that time. From someone who was never quite certain about any theosophical or philosophical theories (there are so many and they disagree with one another) I became someone who knew (as opposed to believing) the truth about creation and our subsequent and consequent universe. It was all so simple, so elegant, and so different from accepted models of physics that the idea of Einstein's "unified field theory" was not even close enough to allow anyone to begin to conceive of such a thing. Even the idea of a "field" was a ridiculous mathematical excuse for something that was not even remotely understood.
Summary
To understand the process that brings about the effects of gravitation we must change profoundly the way we perceive the world. We must discard the idea of an invisible "field" that causes gravitation and develop in its place the concept of a direct mechanical effect produced by a hydrodynamic ether.
The key intellectual shift involves understanding that the omnipresent ether manifests equally well as open space or as material bodies. Thus objects cease to be separate entities and become local manifestations of the ether. The universal etheric context is always in motion and has a velocity gradient - dv/dr - at every point. It is the direction and magnitude of the etheric velocity gradient that determines the direction and strength of gravitational effects.
This perceptual shift is as difficult and counterintuitive as the shift from the Ptolemaic to the Copernican view. Once mastered, it brings the same clarification to gravitational effects that Copernicus brought to the motions of heavenly bodies.
Body
We are unable to understand the mechanism that brings about the effects of gravitation because we do not perceive the true nature of what we see. Our view of the world is not only incomplete, it involves a perceptual blindness that blocks any hope of understanding what is going on around us.
In order to make any progress we must disabuse ourselves of the notion that gravitation is caused by an invisible presence called a “field.” This idea is generally credited to Newton, but that does the Great Man a serious injustice. Newton certainly developed the empirical equations that predict correctly the force associated with gravitation. But he maintained that this force was transmitted directly through the medium of the ether by contact action in accordance with his Third Law. The following statement leaves no doubt on this point:
"It is inconceivable that inanimate brute matter should, without the mediation of something else, which is not material, operate upon and affect other matter without mutual contact. That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man, who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it." I. Newton. [2]

About one hundred years ago physics went astray and decided to eliminate the ether. The origin of this error has everything to do with two M's -- Michelson and Morley. Their single experiment in July of 1887 yielded a positive result, but the magnitude was much smaller than expected. They reported that the observed ether velocity did not exceed one fourth of the earth's velocity through space. [3] This has since erroneously been reported as a null result that proved the absence of ether.
Finding our way out of this muddle involves a third M who is less well known: Miller. Dayton Miller worked with Morley, and later on his own, to perfect interferometric measurements of the effects of the ether. His many measurements over several years consistently indicated the presence of an ether flow of approximately 10 km/sec, a direct confirmation of the Michelson-Morley result. The logical conclusion is that the ether is present, but rather than being stationary in space it is moving at almost the velocity of the earth. It is partially entrained. This confirmation of a measurable ether flow has been studiously ignored by academia and has caused no end of grief. [4]
The perceptual problem we must overcome is directly comparable to the difficulty of moving from the Ptolemaic viewpoint to the Copernican viewpoint. . . .
