Boring Space Aliens Meetings

 The revelation that the USA is maintaining regular meetings with space aliens debating the fabric of the universe, caused a very small sensation in the media. Left is WSJ's artist illustration of one of those interminable, boring meetings on Mars. People ask: "Is spacetime really a fabric?" Answer: "Today it is an elastic fabric but not long ago it was a space filled with ether. Slowly, the ether evaporated and the vacuum filled up with marmalade, like a sufganiya ". That sweet, sticky gel slowly solidified and became an elastic rubber-like fabric. That is a well known process called vulcanization. Newton studied the movements of the planets and discovered that transparent rubber bands hold the planets circling around the sun."
