Just wanted to clarify!

I have this belief that there is no such thing such as "empty space" and that we exists in a superfluid that permeates all matter and space. Any thoughts? I think the Michelson-Morley does not necessarily rule out the possibility.

I love the Delmarva peninsula, but I have often wondered why the states were set up along these lines. It is very odd how the peninsula has a large portion attached to Virginia when it is not connected in any way to the rest of the state. Can someone explain the historical reasons for this?
