An array of 4D points implies some sort of construct upon which the points exist. As far as I know, the that was the concept of "the ether" and that fell out of fashion long ago.

So again, how can you tell the difference between space expanding or two things actually just moving away from each other (to keep it to a very simple example of two bodies).




Ether now known as "physical vacuum". As I told you already, expansion of spacetime is the mathematical tool, like a shader in OpenGL.
