I was trying to explain this to my wife the other day. She was complaining that I had all these clothes on the floor in the bedroom and that she couldn't get out of bed easily because it was so messy (because I efficiently store some electronics under the clothes) but I explained that most of the house was still empty, especially by volume (since the air above the clothes is completely unoccupied). Fortunately, because I am rational and have data on my side, she relented as she usually does.
