My sister asked this question and she really wants to know the answer. I'm just as lost as she is. So, what is space made of?
-
We don't know for certain. We can't know unless we can observe the universe from outside the universe.
-
That makes a lot of sense...
-
Space is probably nothing at all. That's why they call space.
-
I know... space really isnt a "matter" its more of a gravitational field. Imagine a sheet of paper. if you put some kind of weight on it, it deforms...that can be a planet or watever. In conclusion, its a magnetic field, but its gravity.

Space is not nothing. It can be clearly defined. Something would never be able to exist in nothing because in nothing there is no temperture there is no air there is just nothing not even a defined space. [Edited on 6/12/2004 12:49:33 PM]

Google 'virtual particles' or 'particle/anti-particle pairs.'

there is no space, space is nothing its just between here and there

"Space" as such is nothing, a vacuum, a void filled by the ocasional speck of dust/star/nebula/etc., It is measurable: in terms of distance [Edited on 6/12/2004 2:12:00 PM]

No space. Just Halo.
-
thers nothing out there. that is wy they call it "space". it's nothingnes. nada. zero. zip.

I wanna go into space, get a REALLY thick contatiner of somesort, open it up, close it, bring it to earth and drill a hole in it. Would anything happen? Wouldn't it like Implode or something like that? [Edited on 6/12/2004 2:42:01 PM]

look up "Dark Matter" or "Expansion of the Universe" theories, make your jugement there, with obbiquiet swimming around the forum i wouldn't want to say anything i couldn't back up lol

-
A small amount of our atmosphere would move into the jar, to equalize the minute pressure difference.

If I had to pick something physical for space to be made of, I would pick cat $hit. [Edited on 6/12/2004 3:04:50 PM]

Space is composed of both physical matter (what we can see) and dark matter (something that fills up the rest of the universe). Essentially space is nothing, it is a vacuum.
-
So what if the gravity was 900% more, and i dropped a paperclip on my friend?
-
Your "friend" (if that IS his/her name) would, at the least have some nasty bruised, at most have fractured bones/be dead.
