1) A wave equation is derived from the kinetic equations governing media with rotational as well as translational degrees of freedom. In this wave the fluctuating quantity is a vector, the bulk spin. The transmission is similar to compressive waves but propagation is possible even in the limit of incompressibility, where such disturbances could become dominant. 2) In this context a kinetic theory of space-time is introduced, in which hypothetical constituents of the space-time manifold possess such a rotational degree of freedom (spin). Physical fields (i.e. electromagnetic or gravitational) in such a theory are represented as moments of a statistical distribution of these constituents. The spin wave equation from 1) is treated as a candidate for governing light and metric. Such a theory duplicates to first order Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, Schrodinger's equation for the electron, and the Lorentz transformations of special relativity. Slight deviations from the classical approach are predicted and should be experimentally verifiable.
