I'm confused. In my formative years I was led to believe that "space" was a vast nothingness; an enormous vacuum of emptiness within which the infinitesimally small(by comparison) hard bodies resided. Then later, well, space is not exactly empty, oh and BTW, it's not exactly a vacuum either. Later still, and on the heels of these revelations comes another BTW; space contains most of the "matter" and energy in the universe. Say what?
Gotta wonder just who was responsible for naming this "stuff". I would have preferred something like, COOL matter and COOL energy, but that's just me.
Now it seems this "stuff" might more accurately be called ELECTRIC matter and ELECTRIC energy. We live in an electric universe? Have I got that right???

When there’s electrons and magnetic fields and nothing standing in their way to vast amounts of diffuse gases (not unlike a CF bulb), we are lucky to be living here, where we just have to put up with some lightning once in a while. :’)
