Where is all this mass that space is supposedly composed of?

Wouldn't its presence be detectable?

If its massive enough to hold planets together wouldn't it exert wicked friction on bodies moving through it?

Wouldn't it diffuse light from distant starts far more than the earths atmosphere would? Why doesn't the observed data support this?

What does this even mean? Isn't an objects weight directly dependant upon the gravitation pull on that object?

Your five points don't even make sense. Your drum head analogy is the classic one used to support the conventional concept of how mass creates gravity.
