Default Outer space

@optonline.net says...

If nature abhors a vacuum, why then is space pretty much a vacuum?
Just got thinking about it last night.


Perhaps we should modify that to: Nature abhors a vacuum when you live
at the bottom of a large gravity well.

When you are far away from a large gravity well, there simply isn't
enough matter in space to be anything but a vacuum.
