Still, failure, success, what is it? Whae gies a f**k. We aw live, then we die, in quite a short space ay time n aw. That's it; end ay f**kin story.

Then the theory of relativity came and explained the cause of the failure. Electric action requires time to travel from one point of space to another, the simplest instance of this being the finite speed of travel of light... Thus electromagnetic action may be said to travel through space and time jointly. But by filling space and space alone [excluding time] with an ether, the pictorial representations had all supposed a clear-cut distinction between space and time.
