But for purposes of our discussion we can state that those giant voids are empty because we can't detect any discernible material in them. Eventually hydrogen will form and then it will become detectable. But who knows when that will happen?Incorrect. Our artificial vacuums on Earth, as I mentioned, are more empty than space - and that's because not only do you have the matter/antimatter that pops in and out of existence, but you have photons and other material shooting through what you're claiming is "empty space" as well.
Also, an atom itself is 99.9999999999999% empty, and that we typically regard as being physical matter, which is just very slightly less empty than what you are claiming is completely empty space. You can't have it both ways, by your definition the entire Earth is really just empty space.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
