It is very unlikely that most of us will travel in space, hopefully not impossible though, so what does the fabric of space feel like, when l hold out my hand is this how..'up there in space'...feels too?

If you're holding up your hand in a closed room, it feels basically the same as space, aside from the ironic fact that space is simultaneously freezing cold and subjected to the Sun's unrelentingly burning rays. But if you're holding up your hand in the outdoors, you'll be feeling the gentle motion of the breeze, which is absent in space. If you're moving your hand instead of just holding it out, you're feeling air resistance as well, which is also absent in space.

space would feel like a giant suction cup applied to your whole hand as your blood would be sucked from your veins and out through your pores. If you do so close enough to a solar source ("the Sun") you could fry at the same time as no atmosphere would protect you from solar radiation (electromagnetic and particulate [alpha and beta particles, neutrons, etc...]). You'd be unlikely to be hit by space junk or meteor matter in that short duration unless you did so in a area of extremely high junk. Eventually, freezing would occur, but not in an instantaneous, flash-freeze manner suggested by others here. Heat would leave your body much more slowly than if you were dipped into a tank of liquid oxygen or such.

You can't get away from gravity and air.
That is the main difference between being on earth and being in space. when you hold your hand out, you are having to support it against the pull of gravity. At the same time you are being pressed on from all directions by the atmosphere. You aren't aware of this, because this is normal to you, it is what you have experienced all your life. In space, these forces won't exist. So it would feel different. You wouldn't feel space (apart from the cold, which we will ignore), but your hand would feel different.

Actually, we do live in space, it's just that we're protected from the worst of its hazards by our atmosphere and gravity. The Earth moves through space all the time.

you feel air, wind with currents. there is no air in space. also it is very cold, no air to hold heat. try putting your hand an a cup of ice cold water, without the water.

ok first of all, NO ONE here would know. Know one anywhere would no, you can't stick your arm out in sapce!! Unless you want ti like frozen off or something. It is physically impossible. Sryy to disappoint you, but i am sure it would be a little thicker if you were to feel it since there is no atmosphere, no pollution or anything out there in the "air" if you will. It would be pretty cool, but unfortanetley we will never know.

The "fabric of space" is just an expression. Space has no fabric.

i individually think of that it is superb which you're a lesbian and that because of the fact of ignorant minded twits you havn't became your lower back on God. it is stunning! I desire extra human beings have been reliable adequate to think of such as you do.. thank you to bypass! Centuries of lies and misconceptions often save loving, surprising gay human beings from loving God while it isin't God who has the undertaking plenty because it is the human beings who save on with Him. unfold the word and be a beacon of light to all of those others who've been overwhelmed down and lied to by the creap christians who tell those that the sins that they have got are from now on effective than the sins of all of us else. keep in mind this... "To God, a liar is as responsible as a murderer," and " None are righteous no, no longer one, all have sinned and fallen in need of the respect of God." The Bible! Who the hell are they besides! Screw them and best for you hon!
