Question What IS space?

What oh, what is space
IF this question is answered plenty more scientifc questions can be answered as well.

1. a. Mathematics A set of elements or points satisfying specified geometric postulates: non-Euclidean space. b. The infinite extension of the three-dimensional region in which all matter exists.
2. a. The expanse in which the solar system, stars, and galaxies exist; the universe. b. The region of this expanse beyond Earth's atmosphere.

OK...so what is it?
1. well i am refering to the physucal space, as in outer space (def 2.)
2. The expanise....IN WHAT? what hold all this?

Space, is something, it is not nothing, otherwiese it would not excist and besides light passes through it thus it must be someting. IN outter space space there are particles, mostly in solar winds, but sub-atomic particles float in outer space, free of gravity. But...what are they floating ON? What is the fabric of space?

When a black hole is created it said to rip through space and time.....wtf? how can you rip spacetime? what is spacetime? it not solid object to be ripped? or is it? So looking at it like this. Space, like air on earth, Has to be made out of someting for stuff to move through it, it a median! But in space, there is very little particles, so what in between them? nothing? i doubt it!

So what sub atomic particles are there for space to be made out off?
well we have *takes a breathe of air*; Boson catorgory: photons (most common particle, most ligthest, our little light particle), X bosons, W and Z bosons, the nutrino (does it even belong in this catogory?), Higgs Boson (i know i will get comments on this one), then we have our unknown particles of WIMPs and MACHOs (if you do not know what this means, please ask, do not joke around): here we have our Gluons, Gravitons, magnetic monopoles (have these even been found?), Z particles, Quarks, Leptons....Oh fuck it, there is too many to go through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the point is, what subatomic particles might have effect on this? I don't know, it just some hints that might help, keyword, MIGHT.

Well space may include matter, so we need to acknowledge Dark Matter and Anti matter scenerios, dark energy is not included though, it might be.

Now then, one theory says it Aether that makes up space, but ......nobody knows what it is....well it up to you!!!! find out this question of ultimate truth....I am tired off typing

Also space can not be nothing, nothing just doesn't excist!

Discuss:
Space
spacetime
Fabric of the cosmos
anything on this subject htat might help

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
