Let me give a more understandable example of the above... (and yes, this
DOES involve fantasy!)
If a fish leaps out of water, after effortless traversing the water (such as
we do the air), it appears to the fish that air is "space", i.e., the
absence of ALL matter... they, most likely, view us as "planetary bodies!"
We, being the fishes "Gods", know better... grin

Warmest regards,
