The Aethereal Universe

Let us think about a universe, beyond this one, confined in imaginary infinite spaces. Let us go back in time after all the matter has been created.

At this point, the pure aether has filled all.

Let us confine our universe to the distance from the earth to the distant stars. This space has nothing other than the aether. Its particles are so proportional that there is no void between them.

This aether can be divided into any number of parts with each part having any motion.

God then divides it, with some particles being larger and some smaller, some of one shape and some of another. God divides them without creating any void between them. God then gives them different motions in different directions. Some move fast, some slow. These then move perpetually according to His laws of nature.

Those laws can make the parts of that chaos untangle themselves and be arranged in the right order[29] as to form a most perfect world.

The chaos has everthing that you can imagine, made possible by the pure aether.

This pure aether is the same as the ‘prime matter’ of the Philosophers in some ways. The main difference is that my aether is meant to describe a universe that is understandable to the dullest minds.
