This also means how big a atom actually is compared to the elementary particles that it is made up of. It could be said most of any thing is just empty space.

- rbanffy 2y agoAt this point we start wondering what’s the real difference between space and the stuff that occupies it. Or what “occupies” actually means.
- danwills 2y agoI completely agree and although I am guessing that this probably won't be a very popular opinion, I see matter as being genuinely made-out-of-the-same-stuff-as-space but in a highly 'condensed' and dynamic form. If you see matter in this way and imagine that the relationship between the space and the matter is probably-dynamic too, then it doesn't take a big leap to imagine that gravity could be thought-of as the outcome of the constant-consumption-of-space that must usually occur for the matter to continue its normal existence.. as if 'running' the matter uses up the 'execution cycles' of space (however I think space (even a vacuum) is probably quite structured itself and not mere-causation/computation, even at that level!)
