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!

Welcome to Hypography sergey500; I'm no expert on this subject but we have a few members here that are sure to give you some interesting information on the subject. Have you tryed Googling topics like, Aether, String Theory, and Space/ time fabric? From my limited knowledge on the subject, I believe you are correct in assuming that space has some intrinsic character weather it be material or otherwise, space does consist of something. I think scientists are still trying to figure this question out.

Re: What IS space?

well yes, of course i used google and other research, i wouldn't ask the quesiton with so much add facts out of the blue. I am waiting for theses "few members" but no one is replying. Yes scientist are still trying to figure it out but, i would like to hear other peoples opinions

Like I said, I'm no expert but I'll give you my opinion anyway seeing that you are asking for opinions.
The Space/Time fabric is in my estimation is nothing more than a tetrahedral geometry that influences the four forces of nature to manifest themselves with 6 degrees of freedom.

Re: What IS space?

*blink in surprise* no expert?! what heck? that was like.....amazing. But it still doesn't explain how the fabric of space is made out off only the possibilty and limiation of space

If I could explain all that sergey500, they would hand me The Nobel Prize. I think science is a long way off from ever defining this phenomenon we call the space/time fabric. Here is something to also think about; if time and space are quantasized, what is happening between these events? That is to say, for example, if time is quantasized does time exist between events or has time stopped there. And because you cannot separate time from space, they must work hand in hand, has space also disapeared in between quantum events? Just a couple questions to get your mind working, like I said, I'm no expert, these are questions that I have no answer for.

Re: What IS space?

Good thinking i will get on those later. After i happily solved my questions of "Do we excist?" and then "whey do we excist" and now i need this space thing figured out. After that i am going to figure time travel out..........this will take me a while....a really really long while

Re: What IS space?

We don't know what space is "made of", all we know is that we exist and move around in it. We know that objects can have some distance from each other in different directions and that these can change.

To paraphrase Einstein, Space is the thing that keeps everything from happening in the same place...
