From Bert:

...you ended your post with "space stuff"
and right you are.

As mentioned before, the question of whether or not space is a 'void'
has enormous ramifications outside the mere arena of
astrophysics/cosmology.
If every atom is indeed a process IN and OF the spatial
medium (as the eddies and whorls in a river are of the river), then we
are quite literally "space stuff". We're quite literally indivisible
from the 'Ocean' of space in which we dwell. What implications would
this have on theology f'rinstance, if 'God' is indivisible from
his/her/its material creation? On philosophy? On the nature of
consciousness and the root of the 'life force' itself? On the apparent
Imperative driving the course of DNA synthesis toward sentience and
self-awareness?

OR, is space just a vast nothingness, and we just random accidents of
chance couplings of disparate atoms aimlessly adrift in the 'void'?
