0?

All the spaces between atoms are holes.

If you hold the straw horizontally and walk across the room, do the holes become a series of different holes? Similar to the way a rainbow is actually a series of rainbows as you drive along a road?
If the passage in the straw is nothing but a not hole with stuff wrapped around it, what exactly is a hole then? How can any hole be anything but the middle of what stuff wraps around?
