Is outer space matter

Answer 1

No. Space is considered empty.

It is generally accepted that the regions between planets and the Sun, and between one star and another, and between galaxies is empty.

There are however stray atoms of gas out there, but not enough to allow the vast expanses to be considered "matter"

Answer 2

It is space matter

E = MC2 state of matter or space

this is the principle: a concept further expressed would identify the nature of mass that is promoted by elaborating the facts regarding the forces of action that cause the weight of an object upon a scale against the earth as a reaction equal to g gravity field energy that is escaping the earth at sea level this equals 32 feet per second per second weight on the scale times gravity equals mass.

matter is made of space a natural conversion beyond human understanding at this time.

if space was not a state of matter it would not matter the universe would simply collapse. no time without space for change in time we see...

Answer 3

space is not matter

To elaborate: space may be a state of matter that does not support the property of mass that requires a certain particulate density to be contained and measured. Related states of energy are electromagnetic and they do matter in our fourth dimension

à of time between now and then is a consideration of human perspective relative to theory... some believe absolutely. What is the truth is only absolute from that perspective of our evolving awareness.

Answer 4

yes....

Is space matter?Glenn --I recently looked again at your text in Vagabond and I remarked that I missed your important statement: "Space always contains "matter" and matter always contains "space." Therefore we agree that space is matter."

When space is matter then any motion of matter would be within itself. Still the motion of matter requires dimension outside of matter. Doesn't it contradict the notion that space is matter and matter is space?

William:

Good question about an extremely difficult subject to grasp. I think the key to this is the fact that matter is an abstraction, just like "fruit" is an abstraction. In reality, there is no such thing as a "fruit," there only are individual examples of fruit, such as apples and Oranges. So the view that "space is matter" simply means that each xyz portion of space contains within it specific examples of matter, whether it be the nitrogen molecules of air, the ether particles of the intergalactic regions, or the stars of the Milky Way. Each of these "microcosms" must be in motion with respect to all other portions of the universe. There really is no "dimension outside matter"-just more matter. You might find it helpful to think of "empty space" as a scaled-down Milky Way. No matter how small the scale, there is always some matter (like the stars) separated by "empty space" (like the interstellar regions). This is the essence of the consupponible assumptions of INFINITY (The universe is infinite, both in the microcosmic and macrocosmic directions) and INTERCONNECTION (All things are interconnected, that is, between any two objects exist other objects that transmit matter and motion). Thus we should never think of the universe as really containing solid matter or completely empty space. Those concepts are ideas; the reality always is something in between.

The shorthand notion of "space as matter" is based on the observation that no xyz portion of the universe is completely void of matter. We can't produce a perfect vacuum and the 2.7oK cosmic background radiation (CBR) tells us that even intergalactic space contains microcosms in motion (completely empty space would have a temperature of 0oK). At the other end of the continuum, black holes, if they exist, could not contain "solid matter" without "empty space."

Answer 5

According to the big-bang theory, matter and space were created at the same time. Space appeared at exaclty the same time that matter wanted to fill it.

Answer 6

Cosmologically speaking, the first thing in space was the Big Bang. If you meant to ask what was the first thing sent by humans into space, that was a Russian satellite called Sputnik.

Answer 7

Dark Matter or Dark Energy, currently only theories in Quantum Mechanics. Look them up, they are quite interesting topics.

Answer 8

Time and Space were both created at the same time - The Big Bang.
