| You are sharp indeed!

No more than the average proofreader.

| Yah but i think you ment vice-versa

I meAnt exactly what I said.

|
| media carries the info (photons carry info)
|
| the medium is the air and water and the cannonball is the media

I wish to get technical about it and yes I would, I know how to use
a ruler, a knotted length of string, a theodolite and a stopwatch.

|
| firstly the cannonball has mass where as photons do not,

Prove a cannonball has mass and a photon does not.
Tell me how to got about measuring it, and while you at it,
how to go about measuring the mass of this "Eather" you've
heard of.


| thus in this

| photons.
|

This cannonball on a spring has waves:
http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/SHO/damp.html
See? Wave-particle duality.
What is the wavelength of the waves?

Because you cannot.
I'll let the reader draw his conclusions on your capabilities.

|
| c^2 = 1/ (permeability of the water * permittivity of the water)
|
| for space: c^2 = 1 / (permeability of space * permittivity of space)


Let's just say that the volume of a gas at zero degrees Kelvin in zero.
Let's just say that the speed of sound in space is infinite.
Let's just say bright green flying elephants lay eggs in black holes.

Space is not a medium. It is NOTHING. Light travels millions
of light years in nothing at all. No big deal, so do cannonballs.
