Sorry, I never claimed to know what space is, just
that I know it's not empty which has been proved.
Space is something, as opposed to nothing.

Ah, but you did pretend to.

No, I speculated about space and offered my personal
opinion. If that opinion is ever proved wrong, I
will change it.

I see. Well, at the time it sounded more like you were saying "The
amazing thing is that space cannot exist without those particles which
provide the very structure of space itself." Which seems to presume to
know what space is.

If that opinion is ever proved wrong, I
will change it.

All the while shouting demeaning epithets, and ever after claiming to
have never held the opinion in the first place. :-)

Yes, I see your point. Space is real; however, does it consist of
bosons or the imaginings/denials of bozos.

Excellent point ...

Quantum Physics tells us that particles are the only
things that exist in reality so since space exists,
it must be made of particles without which space couldn't
exist. My personal opinion is that Quantum Physics is
correct and that's what I was paraphrasing above.

My personal opinion is that Einstein was correct when
he said:

"Recapitulating, we may say that according to the
general theory of relativity space is endowed with
physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there
exists an ether. According to the general theory of
relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for
in such space there not only would be no propagation
of light, but also no possibility of existence for
standards of space and time (measuring-rods and
clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in
the physical sense."

Replace "physical qualities" with "particles" in
accordance with the latest thinking in Quantum
Physics and you will have arrived at my personal
opinion. Feel free to continue to harass me for
having opinions based on science. In exactly what
ways do you disagree with Quantum Physics and
Einstein?
