Way Off `Topic 4-Sure: What is Empty `Space ?
I know, another Crazy Space Thread 
Oh `No 
Just filling in the Void - the Empty Space : )
Question ?
What is Empty `Space ?
It exists as a vaccum. If necessary, try to think of empty space as an area yet to be occupied by something else. Let's say you have a cookie, but there's a hole in the middle. Does the hole exist? Of course it does, you can see it right there. And so does the cookie. Now, picture the universe as the reverse, in a way. This time, there's a LOT of holes in the cookie, and not so much cookie bits, but the properties still apply.

Another way that -might- help you visualize it is to encapsle the entire concept of the universe and look at it as if it were the size of your fist. It's full of empty space as well as stars and planets. Why does it have empty space? Because nothing else occupies it and you can see that.
Yet another way, and probably the easiest, is to consider empty space as being just another gaseous element, like oxygen. That way, it's easy to realize how and why empty space fills the areas as it does.
Try not to understand the entire concept of empty space through any of these analogies, because it will only confuse you. In the end, empty space is just any measured distance that lacks a substance residing within it.

Space! That's a "No-Brainer"!
It's the vacuum between my ears! The empty space that has a wonderful hollow tone when I knock on the top of my head!
That famous line given by the Scarecrow MANY years ago in one of the 1st and most famous fantasy movies of all time,
"The Wizard of Oz",
"If I only had a brain!"
