Steven Weinberg said that a field is stress in space. Doesn't that
sound like that space is a material medium that can have stress? If so
how is a field different than the ether?

Do you have a reference for where Weinberg said that?

Space cannot be a *material* medium if by that you mean "matter". What
is your exact definition of "material"?

There probably is no difference between a "field" and a
relativistic-type of ether.

Quantum Vacuum Charge rules, baby! ;-)

field? is somthin where a potential is
supposin ta exists

a potential? is somthin not well defined,
pupils assert electricity or magnetism ta
it, but factually could be anythin

now a potential is only a potential, so
somthin could happen, but is not very sure,
that it will happen

tha very right conditions need ta be present
in order ta happen, maybe tha potential is
for som other guys, and not for tha guy passin
thro tha potential formin a particular type of field

thats whay, if yo dont pay attention, tha potantial
has no power on yo when you thro tha field

A field is a mathematical function defined over a particular space.

Ether is something standing still, a field has an activity.

Who cares? If his formula act just as the current field formula then there
is no difference.

No. What makes you think only a material medium can have stress?

Yes in his book Dreams of a Final Theory.
