Well, I will somewhat agree with that I as believe the quantum "vacuum"
is a relativistic medium of sorts. But electron spin is due to quantum
"vacuum" and relativistic effects; not that there is any kind of
"mechanical drag" happening. IOW, electromagnetic fields are due to how
the quantum "vacuum" is "tilted" due to the presence of sources. But
the cause of electron spin, mass and charge are all due to the "medium"
in the first place. There is just no other way to explain it
mechanically. As far as gravity goes, my personal explanation that I
believe is that matter-energy creates low pressure in the quantum
"vacuum" medium therefore two matter objects have less pressure directly
between them and are attracted. Basically the same for charges. Like
charges create more pressure in the quantum "vacuum" between them thus
repel. Unlike charges create less pressure in the quantum "vacuum"
between them and attract. However, this viewpoint has an incredible
amount of baggage to account for to make it work. Like the concept of
two intersecting 3-branes. ;-)
