Yes...

Hi Johannes,

Yes, there is no such thing as a void. It is an imaginary concept right alongside "nothing". All space is infinitely filled with energy oscillating within various spectra.

Light as wave form expression requires other wave forms to traverse. It is simply some of these wave forms frequency and size are beyond our present ability to measure.

So the layperson will call space "empty" or a "void" - when really it is only nearly empty of complex molecules and atoms.

Its a common mistake, but one which leads to a LOT of false concepts, including that before the universe existed there was nothing.

Think about it - nothing does not exist NOW - so how can it have ever existed?

Yet it is the misconcept of "empty" space that has fueled the fallacy of "nothing" as a viable state of being for centuries.

"Gosh darn...If we can't see anything...nothing is there."

;-)

Best wishes,
