Hi Deepak, what brings you here?

That was uncalled for. ;-) The OP seemed to imply a Newtonian conception of space as a uniformly divided plenum, i.e. a container. I don't find it particularly mystical to consider spacial extension in terms of quantitative information between discrete physical entities that may or may not reflect what people intuitively believe as distance between objects.
