The Aether of Spacetime Physics Is the Empty Set of Pure Mathematics

Abstract
The present note is basically an announcement of a theoretical and experimental resolution of one of the most basic fundamental problems of physics, namely the very existence and reality of the Aether [ 1 - 11 ]. This is not only basic philosophy of science or insightful results in theoretical physics and cosmology [ 1 - 24 ] but more than that because it may lead to actually realizing the futuristic dream of free energy [ 25 - 28 ]. Our mathematical and indirect experimental verdict is that the Aether exists and it can be equated to the empty set of pure mathematics [ 3 , 12 - 16 ]. More precisely the Aether may be understood for all mathematical and physical purposes as being identical to the empty set [ 8 - 14 ] underlying the Penrose fractal tessellation universe [ 17 ] which obeys the A. Connes’ corresponding dimensional function of his noncommutative geometry [ 18 - 21 ].
