What is your definition of space?
Well as with any lady there is so much more to them than what you see. We do not feel the strong nuclear force within us but it is there. Just as the weak nuclear force is there and we don't feel that. We do experience a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic force when we get a zap but not much of it.

If we are not aware of our position as an observer then all that we see is based on being within the universe and not being independent of it to see what we really are.

Space looks like space because we are part of it. It is like a blood cell knowing the pulse but measuring the low pressure as zero. If blood pressure drops below that estimated zero it looks negative but is not.

We can't see the universe as it is because we are in it. We can see the universe as it looks from within but never have the God view. We would have to use logic to assume what we are firstly and what we can not see.

I can visualize space as a form of putty that can be bent or have holes poked in it from one point to another. I can imagine it is very energetic but I can never see it. The best I can do is guess what it is from a few tell tale clues which is not a lot to go on.

Even if I can make a halfway fair guess it is not even the beginning of a start. How do I introduce this extra ordinary secretive lady to anyone else?
