  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mike_100 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?[/quote] yes because thee is nothing in there to equalize the presure. outside of the jar. so just like a baloon "pops" it does so because the presure inside is grater than that outside. so... yeah

  • 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.

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

  • "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]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Terminus Space is not nothing. It can be clearly defined. Something would never be able to exist in nothing because in nothing there is no tempurture there is no air there is just nothing not even a defined space.[/quote] Wrongo. Google 'virtual particles' or 'particle/anti-particle pairs.'

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] masterchief58545 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.[/quote] Eh... kinda.

  • Space is probably nothing at all. That's why they call space.

  • We don't know for certain. We can't know unless we can observe the universe from outside the universe.
