The reason I disagree has nothing to do with agreeing with L'l Rik (sorry Ricky). I just can't conceive of nothing. Even if you suck all the matter out of a jar space still remains with all its latent potential. (If our local German astronuclearphysicalist/brainsurgeon wouldn't mind correcting me I promise to cease and desist.) Until then, I admit I find nothing perplexing.
I find the concept of nothing perplexing too. But there are vast regions of space that are devoid of matter. I guess some photons might be passing through and one might even argue that areas that are devoid of matter become something once observed. I suppose we could get into a debate about the nature of nothingness, but when I say nothingness exists, I mean that there are large (and sometimes small) gaps between matter, but I don't want to derail this thread.
Pope.
We got so many things that we can not touch, see, smell, taste and so on but they are real.
The time is one of this.
Our consciousness mind is an other but we know it exist.
Unfortunately too many people came to the conclusion that the space must be there regardless.
According to yoga God doesn't need the space nor the time nor the air, light, water or matter.
He can do well without considering that he doesn't have a physical body but for us humans is a different story.
We perceive with our physical senses the physical reality which is also made of space and at the same time we consider the space as nothing.
Wrong.
Space is something that allow the universe to exist.
God doesn't need it but we do.
If God would not have created this physical universe there wouldn't be the space among the other elements so definitely space is something real regardless the fact that we can not touch it or feel it with our senses.
