>>9983825yea it's literally not "a vacuum" because radio waves can't travel through a complete vacuum. you were told it was a vacuum in grade school, but this is not the official explanation anymore. i can't give you the official explanation here because, to me, it makes no fucking sense and every time I read it, they've completely changed the definition.
last I read it's something about matter being constantly created and destroyed. so there's nothing, but there's also something, so that radio waves can somehow propagate through it. there is, of course, no experimental or theoretical proof of any of this, except that the previous definition of space being a complete vacuum has been proven to be impossible as radio waves cannot propagate through absolutely nothing.
