And, they both extend concrete effecting-&-affected Reality into thus far unemployable areas. The first of these is in the as-yet-unrevealed Material World below the current level of Sub Atomic Physics. And, the second is in the matter that constitutes so-called Empty Space.

While, at the same time, the many anomalies such as Action-at-a-Distance, and Electromagnetic Propagation, which not only cry out for a Universal Substrate, but have been explained in such terms, along with every single one of the anomalies clearly evident in the Copenhagen explanations of the Double Slit Experiments.
