Yes, except that those things are not mysterious anymore because of the 
great work of those fine gentlemen; they can be measured and calculated.

Not at all.  Instead, a field is a mathematical concept that assigns a value 
to each point of a space.  A field in physics is the application of that 
concept to the values of (measurable) physical quantities.

Which is why the equations of general relativity are the (Einstein) field 
equations :->

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equations>

Instead, what Einstein _made superfluous_ with postulating _special_ 
relativity is the (experimentally falsified) notion that there had to be an 
ether medium in order to propagate light.

How did you get that idea?

In your humble opinion.

Every capacitor that stores electric energy (including those in the computer 
you are using to write this) shows that the opposite of what you are saying 
is true.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor>

The Casimir effect also shows that the opposite of what you are saying is 
true.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect>

Please get yourself informed before you post here again.
