Abstract
The current issue between philosophy and science over the embedded past assumption that space is 'nothing' is found to be highly relevant. Consistent with the 'instabilities' found and with n-body dark matter (ΛCDM) modelling we consider space simply as a diffuse dielectric medium. Impacts on Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity are non-zero but far from harmful. Challenging the assumption that space is 'empty' reveals eight related assumptions forming a belief system of painted scenery on 2D frames with foggy perceptions of space and time. We identify and expose each assumption in Proper Time. The false pictures then evaporate leaving a clear and coherent reality. We find that Shakespeare's “All the world's a stage” is parochial and act out the play in deep space. In a contemporary interpretation Eddy and the Electrons play a lead role alongside fast ladies Pretty Penny and the Protons. New relationships are found hidden beneath the old assumptions. A coherent classical relativistic kinetic and causal universe emerges, with classical effects driven by a known quantum mechanism, inconsistent with the assumption that QM and Relativity can't couple.
