There is stuff inbetween, gas, dust, rock, ice etc.


But it is a vacuum, but that stuff is still in 'space'


And there are gravitational feilds, waves, rays etc


Which doesn't make it empty does it?

Ok, it's not empty. (I did say that once. )

All I'm saying is, if you took a part of space where there weren't any rocks or dust or waves or.... then it would still be space, no matter how small or big, it would still be space.

Who cares ?

I dunno

If there is an infinite amount of space but a finite amout of matter, well, it doesn't compute does it, the amount of matter in relation to the amount of space must also be infinitly small and well does that mean there is no matter?

I also read in New Scientist that Earth is a Spherical Geometry, which in small scales looks Euclidean (X, Y, Z all perpendicular). They think that space is the same but instead of being a sphere, it looks like a potato chip.

If there is an infinite amount of space, yes there is an infinite amount of matter


Doesn't mean that there is the same amount, but that there is no end to the amount is there


Should be written, if there is an infinite amount of space, then there is an infinite amount of matter, but amount of space>amount of matter

That's why Maths is stupid

If matter = space (both are infinite)
then how can matter < space

MATHS IS DUMB

No, infinite things don't mean they = each other


Two things can be infinite, but that doesn't mean to say that if you were to take one number of one of them, the other would equal that.

Just means, there is no end to them, mater being infinite is dependant on space beign infinite, if there was an end space (or a volume that it couldn't exceed) then matter would have a limit, and would no longer be infinite

really people... WHO CARE?!?!

Space is theoretically a temporal sphere. Which is just a posh word for its finite (only so much matter in it) but has no boundaries. Eg if you went in a straight line you'd eventually get back where you started.

Watch out for those quasars!
