Review text
On the one hand, the challenges of contemporary physics forces us to open new horizons and pose some of the old questions differently. But on the other hand any new idea must be tested against an ever going set of experimental knowledge. The result is that the progress about the fundamental nature of physical concept is painfully slow and any new idea is welcomed.
The author proposes an unconventional point of view of several fundamental issues on physics. His idea merits attention and careful considerations. However the way the new vision is presented in Ref. [10] and this paper is too naive. For instance it is a nice intuitive picture to imagine etheric layer [10] but such a qualitative idea can not be balanced with effort spent to understand the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment. In a similar manner, the opinion "the higher the energy density of space, the slower the time" is not more than a qualitative idea, against the careful considerations in Special Relativity about the apparent time dilation. In order to consider these ideas seriously the author should match the care and the details of the traditional theories and to point out precisely where his ideas are supposed to be more appropriate. Otherwise any apparent agreement between some particular observations and an intuitive idea seem to be not more than an accident.
