NO! It has been found that the supposed "empty" space is actually where most matter in the universe exists!

Dark Matter, a substance first theorised right along with "Black Hole Theory" Has been proven to exist. The "HOW" is the issue, because it seems to defy the idea of only one demension of the physical realm.

It has been shown that in all matter in this universe, some of its atomic particals, the peices (nutron, electron, ect) are only present in this universe SOME of the time. That on a sub-atomic scale we are in a kind of "dimentional flux".

Where do they go? That question has to be oversimplifed to be easily understood, but basically it becomes "empty space" in our universe. Have you ever wondered how there could be such a thing as empty space to start with? If gravity, the strongest force in the universe, is taken on the subatomic scale, atoms should be a whole lot denser than we observe them to be.

Why? because that empty space isn't empty. It is the resedue, darkmatter, that holds the particals place whilst the partical is interdementional.

We are indeed bound by the same stuff as the stars! The rules of the great universe are in play in the everyday. Isn't it facinating!?

If this question needed to be asked, then there is an apparent 'something else' something more dynamic within the 'opinion' as stated in your question. Logical science would have us believe what it sees, and would have it no other way. But the fact you have asked a question, indirectly implies there is something 'else' than opinion, and indeed within 'opinion', as well as atoms and empty spaces.



Physically, what we can see, and when i say 'see' i mean, how human experience, science and human perception can show us, it is simply what we make up of arbituary units, known as atoms. So you are correct, in this sense.



However you have to consider, what you define as 'existence' you possibly mean, what is actually there... tangibly, scientifically. Then yes, only atoms and empty spaces and a lot of labelling and subjective opinions.



How far do you trust science, senses, logic and judgement? Can an opinion, tell us more? Atoms and empty spaces will never tell us that. This question truly approaches the dynamism between mathematical logic (science) and subjective human experience.

Not sure what your question is but it sounds wrong. As atoms are made up of electrons, neutrons and protons. The neutrons and protons make up the mass of the atom and make up the nucleus. So you would be more accurate in saying nothing exists except electrons, neutrons, protons and space.



So I guess even your opinion is subject to change.

How postmodern!

Read Richard Dawkins 'unweaving the rainbow', he generally puts things into perspective.



Even though there may be nothing but matter that does not ruduce the incredable fact you are here to see existance unfold. In the grand scheme of things we are among the luckest beings in existance. We are here to see it happen and we are smart enough to understand how valuable that experience is.



Life is a once in a lifetime opportunity :D

Incorrect, atoms are matter, matter takes up very little of space, this is scientific fact, an opinion is just that, an opinion.

to me its especially plenty that our perception is purely that, perception, no longer fact, no longer something we see, or think of, or comprehend is relatively because it relatively is to us issues in life are what they are, no longer what we would like or see them to be
