What is it?
-----------
Gayatri Mantra is a chant, which encourages the human who is chanting it to recognize that:
(1) there is this energy that is present everywhere in everything and everyone — including inside one's own self,
(2) everyone —including oneself— should try channeling all this energy to gain pure enlightened intelligence, and
(3) one is and always will be a part of this powerful energy and should therefore attempt to make best use of it.

In Sanskrit (Devanagari) - Short version:

-----------------------------------------
Om bhur bhuvaH svaH, tat savitur varenyaM, bhargo devasya dhImahi, dhIyo yo naH prachodayAt.

ॐ भूभुवः॒ ः । त ॑िवतुवरे ॑ ं । भ॒ग ॑दे॒ व ॑ धीमिह । िधयो॒ यो नः॑ चो॒दया॑ त् ।

** NOTES **

------- Omnipresent Energy -------

Scientific basis: Similar to first law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy): energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but can only be transformed from one form to another.

------- Ether (also spelled as Aether), the element of [ ॐ जनः | Om janaH ] -------

At a cosmic level, 'ether' is what seems to be empty space across the universe but is actually a medium that allows for a state of creative generation (janaH) between energy and tangible
matter.
Cosmic creation happens when 'energy' passes through the intermediate 'ether' state to generate (janaH) 'matter'.
Scientific basis: Similar to Einstein's: E = mc2, where E is energy, m is mass(matter), and c is the speed of light.
At a human level, 'ether' is the state of creative generation (janaH) between human energy (efforts/mind/ideas) and human creations (symbols/voice/matter).

In a 1920 lecture on 'Ether and the Theory of Relativity', Einstein said: "To deny the ether is ultimately to assume that empty space has no physical qualities whatsoever. The fundamental
facts of mechanics do not harmonize with this view." ... "The ether of the general theory of relativity is a medium which is itself devoid of all mechanical and kinematical qualities, but
helps to determine mechanical (and electromagnetic) events." ... "According to the general theory of relativity, space without Aether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be
no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time, nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense."
