Space is room so that physical things can manifest and therefore exist .

What is space ?

must there be a thing 1st to allow for the thing to be when the thing is no-thing ?

 

I'm almost going to agree with that. Space is the fabric which wrinkles to make physical things.

 

Well.... photons - energy - compacts to make physical things.

The idea of space being a fabric has long been discouraged as a helpful analogy, beyond the basic level.

 

i like to percieve space as a large raspberry jelly

 

That works too.

 

then i think
"if i want to taste that bit in the middle, and stick my spoon in, will it still be the same?"

 

I make no pretence to go beyond the basic level.

 

are you on the level ?

 

Space is the area in which things exist & events happen.

And is absolutely needed for anything to manifest in a physical state .

From the subatomic , to galaxies and planets etc .

 

Huh? Did I say something mysterious?

 

Granted, but I assume the thread is hoping to.

 

What would ever lead you to assume that?

 

The title.

The fact that it's asked in a forum. We might assume the poster has not found the basic answers out there to be satisfactory, so he's asking for more.

[ EDIT ] nm. I just realized who the OP is. And the fact that no elucidating questions were asked in post #1. Thanks for drawing my attention to that.

 

That's way too logic for this forum, don't you think?
