So, early, @p60ff there is the Michelson--Morley Experiment......

In Which the question of what diffefrence it makes if the Aether is real?
Occam's razor sez we cut it [Aether] out of the explanation....{p does not use Occam's razor by name but by science sense]........

What if it were like God?.....which led to spirited metaphysical/religious 
argumenatation.............

Which seems to me to, at least, be making fun of just about ALL metaphysical answers...

Except that light does exist....................

Even brings in Eastern thought on the void, etc......

And why does Merle think---in the context of pynchon's doing---that Blinky Morgan is Morley?............

Blinky whose vision is be-refracted.....that AtD theme
