What, the "amazing" revelation that particles exist in space, even
though for all practicle purposes it can be treated as a vacuum?

The amazing thing is that space cannot exist without
those particles which provide the very structure of
space itself. It seems that space is a property of
matter rather than vice versa.

Theoretical absolutes don't happen as often as in the space in the head.
You can't convince me that gravity or magnetic fields really require a media
to travel through. Assuming there is one would be a crutch. Didn't stop us
from getting people to the moon and back.

Although not clearly stated for the "general public", isn't that exactly
what the Hadron project is all about?; splitting matter down to its'
smallest particle(s), and therefore, discovering the "matter" which
space itself is constructed from?

I mean, that is what I expect ...

Stephen Hawking has predicted that CERN will not
find the Higgs bosom, the only particle in the
Standard Model that has not been detected.

Yep, it is pretty-much, up-for-grabs. Even the CERN project may fall
short of energy levels required ... but then, you have to start somewhere.

We certainly traveled through the medium of space in
order to get to the moon. EM photons obviously travel
through the medium of space.

What you need to prove is that EM photons can travel
somewhere else besides the medium of space, i.e.
outside of the boundaries of the universe.

(P.S. Since "media" is the plural of "medium",
"a media" is improper.)
