Dear NotEinstein: Despite the fact that in a reaction between an
atom and a transient light a quantum of energy is absorbed or
released, the light isn't made of quantities of energy ("photons". It
consist of em WAVES.

The only voids that exists in the Universe are in the heads of
people who believe that a quantum of energy and/or a light wave can
exist in one.

If,as you suppose, a void fills the space between atoms, we wouldn't
exist; and even if we did, we wouldn't be able to see anything at all.

No, it does not. You've made this mistake before.
An electric field is not material. It contains energy. It is very
physical.

Ken--Relativity theory enjoys the fact that there have never been an
observation that contradicts a prediction of relativity, special or
general. Furthermore there are direct confirmations of many of
relativity's prediction. In indirect confirmation of many others.
There
is little doubt that observer dependent measurements of relativistic
effects are valid.

Particle accelerators work! GPS works! Cosmic ray muons' path to the
earth's surface is foreshortened! The Perihelion precession of Mercury
is correctly predicted.

Let's face it, Ken. You are wrong and relativity is correct.

I see you're in denial. Energy of ligtht is defined by its wave.

Wrong....the SR effect on the GPS is 7 us/day running slow. From the
GPS point of view the SR effect is ~7 us/day running fast.
The cosmic muon is able to reach the ground because its life time is
gamma*2.2 us compared to the lab muon.
