I prefer the concept of aether displacement vs. the bending of local
space time, but the question still remains:

What is being "bent" and does it have mass?

Any to put a qualifier on the question, you can't reply with "space
time" is being bent.

What is physically being bent?

And if you still want to respond with "space time" is physically being
bent, does it have mass and if not, how is it bent?
