Maybe "absence of anything even resembling a structure"
would be a better way to put it. It's pretty clear that
if there is no structure for space, then space cannot
exist. Absolute nothing would necessarily be the absence
of any and every *thing* including space.

Cecil Why not say what one call nothing is a reaction to the pressure
of gravity to zero but only on the earths surface
Vacuum is a datum pressure on earth only whereas there are different
datums thruout the universe.
If one could determin the datum of the many datums there still is no
reason that pressure positive or negative has an overpowing
force on every posible content. A case in point is a particle that is
projected within the Earths boundary that exceeds the force of gravity
but still exists in terms of matter un affected by negative
gravitational forces. When the datum for perfect nothingness is
determined in terms of the four forces only then can we equate nothing
with energy contained by particles with no affinity to gravity. All
nonsence probably since no problem can be solved with missing entities
such as particles of resistive particles that have yet to be detected
or what can affect them. A vacuum is just a measure of pressure
nothing more and nothing less with the assumption that all has mass
and zero resistance to datum pressure of our Earth. Lookng at things
in a totally different manner
if there was a volume of nothing in our Universe would it not implode
to zero dimension with the understanding that external forces are in
existance to every point in the Universe
I supply this post purely to be part of the discussion that this
thread now represents without ever being present to conditions of
outer space and thus unable to respond in detail to those who have
intimate knoweledge of such via their interrestial travels where they
had the opportunity to touch to lift and touch with the toungue to
determine the characteristics of all. If I knew some shakesphere I
would enter the first act in detail and then compare that act with
something that would then be comparible to the three stuges which has
nothing to do with this thread if you get my gist. No names mentioned
ofcours but keep a watch to the rear! I have arrived in Rome
