(October 12, 2016 at 5:50 pm)Alex K Wrote: Einstein's field equations basically describe how curvature gets communicated between neighboring points in spacetime. In a sense, and speaking very simplistically, the curvature gets communicated by one piece of spacetime getting bent by the next neighboring one, and so on...

Is there actually "nothing" in space?

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
