Fabric of space?

Question

What is The fabric of space made of?? I mean if there is vaccum (nothing) between atoms and matter, what is between that what is space made of?????

Answer 1

You need to read up on "Quantum Mechanics" and maybe a little "String Theory".

Basically, there is no "Vacuum" of space. Space is a seething cauldron of energy and if you could see down to Planck's length. Planck length is approximately 1.6 × 10^-35 meters you would see the actual seething "foam" of Space Time roiling like a soup on a hot flame, with particles Popping into and out of our Universe.

I guarantee that you will have a great time Reading about this and other properties of our Universe......... please indulge yourself and enjoy 8-)

Answer 2

Dear Sir:

I recommend you study the dictionary until you can grasp the meaning of the word "nothing." In a vacuum there is nothing. Tiny particles of dust or ice may fly by on occasion, but in general there is nothing in space for millions, and millions, and millions of miles.

If you exclude the space junk placed into Earth orbit by mankind, and the few probes to other planets, the following seems to be accepted truth:

There are some planets, our Moon, and our Sun fairly close by in relative terms, and excluding comets, asteroids, shooting stars, and HAL, there is just a whole lot of "nothing" out there. If you were to study "nothing" for a long, long time, you would discover more nothing in the end.

There is no "fabric" such as woven canvas, or spun silk linking everything to everything else. There is merely a vacuum, and complete absence of heat.

Answer 3

IMHO - I believe it is raw, unprocessed, 3 dimensional energy being stretched into and pressured into a 2 dimensional "flat" place that creates a vacuum effect. Who is to say...what is on the other side of that vacuum? The birth of a new universe?

Answer 4

strings

fixed non-dimensional points of energy

Answer 5

if there's background radiation, is it really a vacuum?
