  "Oasis of Empty"

    ... which would work if the stuff outside the oasis was cluttered with something. But the stuff outside the oasis is also approximately empty. So where does the desert of empty end and the oasis of empty begin?
    • bombcar 4y ago
      The desert has nothing; the oasis lacks even that.

  I get that you're saying the metaphor is strained, but in point of fact, oases are parts of deserts, no?
  • _dain_ 4y ago
    Yes but the whole point of them is that they are non-deserty bits inside of deserts
• NikolaNovak 4y ago
  yes. (Also, don't forget, a void :-)
