RE: The modern blockchain sounds a lot like the ancient Akashic Record

Thanks @dominicbasulto. In Einstein's times, there were popular ideas of a theoretical "field" (like THE FORCE ;-)) which was called by the German physicists as "Äther" = "ether".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_aether_theory
This had to be proposed to close gaps between gravity and the evolving atomic physics, which found solutions for the other three fundamental forces, which so far have not been coped to gravity.

I am very convinced that the idea of a universe-filling and connecting "ether" as a very mystic concept was the reason for naming Ethereum.

    I like the idea of "ether" as a mystic concept. I think that's why blockchain technology is so powerful - it is more than just a technology, it is something that forces people to re-think the way we do everything. On a related note -- it's fascinating to see so many artists, poets and other creatives joining Steemit - i think they will eventually be able to tap into and explore the mystical properties of the ether around us.
