How can something be full of nothing?

It is an incorrect concept that space is full of nothing.  There are dust particles and gas molecules in space.  The solar wind from our sun is always blowing particles into space.  There is also a galactic wind that is blowing particles out into space as well.\n\nSpace is as close as we can get to natural vacuum, or nothingness but it still has a density of one atom per cubic meter.

Contrary to popular belief, empty space is not empty, and it is certainly not a vacuum. In fact, a true vacuum has never been created, anywhere, where the atomic count is zero.\nresearch it, its true.\n"Empty" space actually contains an average of 1 hydrogen atom for every 32 cubic centimeters of space, this data is per NASA.\n\nIn our own Milky Way, space is more dense with 1 hydrogen atom for every 1 cubic centimeter.\n\n One day the misinformation of space as a vacuum will finally die out.\n\nSo depending on the size of your jar and where the sample was taken from, it would contain 1 hydrogen atom per cubic centimeter.\n\nspread the knowledge

depends on what your definition of "nothing" is...\n\nnice wordplay!

empty and filled\n\nIt can be both empty or filled dependign on which shell you consider to be the outer shell. The outer shell can be the outermost shell to contain electrons, which is filled. Or it can be the next outermost shell, which is empty in an atom but could become the valence shell in an ion.

A vacuum is a volume of space that is substansively empty of matter, so that gaseous pressure is much less than standard atmospheric pressure. The root of the word vacuum is the Latin adjective vacuus which means "empty," but space can never be perfectly empty. A perfect vacuum, known as "free space", with a gaseous pressure of absolute zero is a philosophical concept with no physical reality, not least because quantum theory predicts that no volume of space is perfectly empty in this way. Physicists often use the term "vacuum" slightly differently. They discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they simply call "vacuum" in this context, and use the term partial vacuum to refer to the imperfect vacua realized in practice.

Quite an interesting question.  Well, it's true that the Universe is expanding, has been expanding since the Big Bang, and always will expand.  Plus, it's been doing so at the speed of light, so unless there's some way for us to travel faster than that, we're already too late to actually go (or send something) and find out what it's expanding into.  Point B can never reach the end.  Having said that, we're fairly sure that 'nothing' is beyond space.  Space is expanding into nothingness.  Of course, this is a hard concept since most of space has nothing in it anyway.  Yet even  when space is empty, it's still considered 'something.'  This empty 'something' expands into the nothingness.  Confusing, I know, but I can't think of a better way to explain.  Anyway, I don't believe there's a container that would stop the Universe from expanding.  I suppose it could be theoretically possible, but I'm not sure how.  I believe it will keep on expanding forever.

Good question - it depends on which theory you want to use. Currently, it is estimated that there are 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic metre. But this does not necessarily mean that there is "nothing" between these atoms.\n\nAccording to quantum physics, even the space that we most often referred to a a vacuum, may be composed of various exotic unobservable (for now) components.\n\nIn quantum physics a vacuum is not the same thing as "nothing." One theory supposes that all space is filled with the Higgs Ocean composed of an undetected Higgs field.\n\nThe current idea in quantum physics is that the only place where there is "nothing" is between the strings making up all matter and energy. The concept of "nothingness" is a complex and extensive subject and very difficult for us to visualize.\n\nOf course there is much more to these concepts than a few words in a brief paragraph can relay.\n\nGood Luck

Honestly, the deepest thought I can think of is Nothing. Seriously, close your eyes and try to envision nothing. Most likely, the colour black or white will pop into your mind, as if those 'blank slates' are nothing. But even blank slates are somethings...and if you really think about it, even Nothing is Something. What would True Nothingness be? And if you could ever actually think of it, would you ever be able to resume thinking thoughts again, or would the Nothingness be vacuous like a mental black hole?

Nothing, absolutely nothing

This is the case\ncircumferences no where centres everywhere\n\nJust try,  even you can not imagine NOTHING, because before imagining that, your mind was already there, thereby the NOTHINGNESS is voilated.\n Even the 'ZERO' is not the one we usually think.\nIt is a compromising point of  +(Plus) and - (Minus) infinity !!!!!. Even mathametically all is filled in 'ZERO'. Enven any number, say 100, it is 0-1000, that is to say you have borrowed it from 'ZERO'\nIt enough for now,  there is musch more to say about 'ZERO'

Actually, There is no such thing as a true vacuum...Period!\nA true vacuum has never been created, anywhere, where the atomic count is zero.\nThere is always atomic content left to fill the "vacuous" space. No one has ever been able to creat a true vacuum.\n\nContrary to popular belief, empty space is not empty, and it is certainly not a vacuum. \nresearch it, its true.\n"Empty" space actually contains an average of 1 hydrogen atom for every 32 cubic centimeters of space, this data is per NASA.\n\nIn our own Milky Way, space is more dense with 1 hydrogen atom for every 1 cubic centimeter.\n\nSo to answer your question, EMs have never been propagated through a true vacuum that we know of.\n\nOne day the misinformation of space, or anything else, as a true vacuum will finally die out.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vacuum...\n\n\nspread the knowledge

how do you understand anything?  We can't understand everything there are things beyond our comprehension.  Try to think about this, does space end?  Is it infinte?  what is infinite?  You kno?

"Dividing by nothing" doesn't mean you would do nothing.  It means, "how many piles of nothing (zero) would you have to add up to get to the original number?".  \n\nHow many piles of zero would you have to have in order to have 2?  The answer isn't even infinity, because you would still never have 2.  So it's not possible, and 2/0 can't be represented by any number.

everything and nothing

0 is the cardinal of the empty set. Thats the mathematic rigurous definition. Before that, zero was defined conceptualy, as "no object", "nothing", "none", in order to define the quantity/measure of "nothing".

Looks like only one person got the right idea so far so I will try to underscore that.\n\nEveryone who says that it is possible to have NOTHING inside a box if you have a total vacuum has ignored quantum theory which has proven to reflect reality extremely well.\n\nThe uncertainty principle allows energy to be borrowed from the vacuum for a very short time.  The vacuum is seething with pairs of "virtual" particle+antiparticle pairs that are created with this borrowed energy.  They pop into existence and then annihilate with each other extremely quickly.\n\nSo no, as far as anybody knows we have strong reason to believe that it is impossible to have absolutely nothing inside a box because something is always popping up everywhere in space.  Maybe if you had a very small box and very big luck luck it would be empty just for the tiniest period of time.

Nothing in space.  It's weightless.
