Can you be without existing? Can you be in a realm where neither time
nor space have any significance? Is there any useful, meaningful
information below the Planck scale?

The difference between being and existing is that - to be - you don't
need to be somewhere, while - to exist - you do. To exist your
location must be certain, you must exist above the Planck scale, to be
you don't need to be material, and all you need to be physical is to
be able to act as a force.

The aether is the physical, nonmaterial substance from where the whole
Universe emerged.

The aether must permeate everything, it is everywhere by its own
definition. You can't conceive a fragmentable aether, or it would not
be the aether as it was defined thousands of years ago. By definition,
everything is made from the aether, even the space that surrounds you.
This definition is what makes GTR (General Theory of Relativity) true,
since everything is related through and by the aether. Or how could it
be that, just because something is in an accelerated state, time and
length must change in relation to a stationary observer existing in
the same inertial frame as the accelerated object? Wasn't space
supposed to be absolute, primary, independent and non-derivable from
anything else (Newton)? The Universe is one single entity, one
process. Space... objects... Mankind... comes from one thing, which by
definition, we call the aether.

Any material substance will occupy space. This physical but
nonmaterial substance (aether) does not occupy any space. It doesn't
exist in spacetime, because it is spacetime. This physical nonmaterial
substance becomes matter as fields spin at very high speeds, creating
material properties like volume, extension, motion, time, mass,
gravity, solidity... and consequently... causing the formation of
objects in spacetime.

The aether gives the universe properties like wholeness,
interconnectedness, continuity, and, since the property of extension
doesn't apply to it, non-locality. There are no parts when you refer
to the aether. But you can look at electric fields, magnetic fields,
gravitational fields, or any kind of force field as different 'things'
or 'parts' of a greater whole made from the same continuos and
inseparable aether. Everything is connected to the aether because
everything is made from it.

You can measure the properties of fields, but you can't take a direct
measurement of the aether. The aether is not matter, therefore, not
directly observable. Things move, but not in relation to the aether,
things move in relation to other things at the classical level, but
that loses meaning at the sub-quantum level, the level at which the
aether is before it manifests itself as multiple entities. The aether
is indivisible... you could stretch fields and create the appearance
of separated volumes within it but you can't divide the aether into
separate entities. In that sense, the aether is apparently infinitely
divisible. This is why many say you could fit the whole universe in a
point.
