Or has space have a mass? The open space between our eyes and the screen, does it have a mass(and/or matter). We can say that spaces air gases or airs or something like. But what if in a complete vacuum, where no air occupies, can someone still consider that space in the vacuum have mass?

Basically, how mass is defined all depends how mass is observed to be.

Einstein Relativity Theory indicates that mass is relative.



Space in the Universe is a structure where Celestial bodies float. Hence if that is the case then Space is a analog of water; Whereas mass is a discrete volume just like a fish moving in water.



Some of theoretical views about space in the past considered space to be a vacuum devoid of substance.

However in the 21st Century Physics theory of "Quantum Aether Dynamics" Jim Bourassa & David Thomson mathematically indicated that Space (Aether)has a definite discrete value of mass.



The Concept appears to represent that Space is not empty and forms a volume with a particular curvature. .That means that the Earth and the Sun must hang on something.



Dr.Ricardo Carezani indicates in his theory of Autodynamics that the whole volume of space in the Universe is filled with a corpuscular mass called "picograviton".Thus indicating that space is not devoid of any structure

space is volume and is not a mass related thing. However, there is pretty well some mass inside pretty well any space. Even in the deepest vaccuum of way out there in the middle of nothing, there are small numbers of particles bouncing around, so there is mass. It just might be a very very very very small mass.



The space between your eye and the screen is full of mass, easily measurable amount of mass if you have the right equipment.

there must be something that holds the universe together, or nothing would exist. Dark matter, whatever you want to call it. if nothing held space together it would implode

either that or it expands, which opens the question 'what is at the edge of the universe?'

yes --of course --our space has--all sorts of mass---waves of light ,electrons and magnetic fields of energy---we could not see through space if it had no energy--- today we can---hear static from the--big bang --- dark matter ---is void of matter and all energy---and is considered to be outside of our space---the positive energy--- of our space is rushing to fill the--- negative void of dark matter.

The standard answer is no, but we can't say for sure until we find out what, if anything, dark matter is.

no mass. seriously if it has. itd probably be one of those unknown dark matter.
