Every m3 of space is populated by random hydrogen atoms wandering lonely as clouds, neutrinos which don't so much wander as plummet forthrightly wherever they please, and Dark Matter doing its mysterious stuff. Not to mention photons politely sidling by and gravitons (apparently) impinging on all and sundry. So you see, space is a busy place and there simply isn't room for vacuum. But if you want to know more, there is negative and positive vacuum. This is made of sterner stuff than mere emptiness. Oh yes. Nothing less than opposing oceans of quantum particles with opposite charges. One theory is that positive and negative vacuum give us gravity. See www.johnkharms.com |

| 258532 | 2004-08-07 14:09:00 | MY vacuum is perfect, ( I used a vacuum cleaner on it) And space doesn't have m3; space is old you know, it was hereabouts long before this stupid metrics fad came along. But what you say about positive and negative vacuum sounds very grave indeed, I expect it'll be on the power bill as soon as they work out how to measure it. Don't meddle with Dark Matter, or the force may well be within you and the dawn will cease to come up like thunder. (BTW, If the Dark Matter could be destroyed, would we cease to need lights?) R2 |

The universe is composed of three distict values, A, X, and T A is the all the known, measurable and observable quantities X is the all the unknown, immeasurable and non-observable events T is time, and is a constant variable . (It used to be a variable constant, but times change) The universal phenomenon is TAX, which tends toward infinity, and therefore, is anti-entropic, while exhibiting the classic characteristics assigned to black holes .
