Astronomy/Mustang?

[Dan Llewellyn2]

Well as long as we are off subject...

Space is extent, energy is activity, matter is aggregation, time
is progression, etc.  They are all distinctly differently and exactly
linked together.  Amount of space in universe is determined by
amount of matter (since matter bends space inwards).

You can't think of space as 'stuff'.  Stuff is matter.
