I often call it empty space. No, it is not cool, it has no temperature. Only matter can have temperature, which is simply kinetic energy. : : But I agree with Einstein in that it does have physical properties.

I cooked it up for dinner, but upon swallowing it my stomach impoded. I concluded that space is good to have inside your stomach, and something different than nothing.

Facetiousness aside, A TV tube or CRT contains no-thing even if it has an electron beam, two triangular magnetic fields and a static electric field when operating, and I'm not calling it aether, either (or other). The "no-thing" has no physical properties, I can deflect, increase and decrease the beam current solely by changing the external fields, and I do. If this were not so you'd have no football to watch, just a blank screen and have to go out and buy a plasma or LCD TV. Someday some bright young spark will operate a projection TV on the Moon (or ISS) without a glass envelope to keep out the air because he's bored with no-thing to do and the ancient art of glass-blowing will be lost to antiquity. If the fool wants to agree with Einstein he can go without TV, the aether wind will blow away the electron beam as the Moon races through it.
