[Intro]
What about the empty spaces…
Are they real?
The places filled only by spaces
(What do they conceal?)
[Verse 1]
The idea of absolute nothingness
Is this a reality
Void of somethingness
Is reality an absentee
[Chorus]
What about the empty spaces…
Are they real?
The places filled only by spaces
(What do they conceal?)
[Bridge]
Governed (by physical laws)
Pondered (the mind claws)
The question (gnaws)
[Verse 2]
The idea of absolute nothingness
Is this a possibility
Void of every ness
Is reality an absentee
[Chorus]
What about the empty spaces…
Are they real?
A place filled with space
(What does it conceal?)
[Bridge]
Governed (by physical laws)
Pondered (the mind claws)
The question (gnaws)
[Chorus]
What about the empty spaces…
Are they real?
A place filled with space
(What does it conceal?)
[Outro]
As I drift into space…
(With the rest of the race)
A SCIENCE NOTE
Is space real? Yes, space is real. It refers to the vast, seemingly infinite expanse that exists beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Space encompasses everything in the universe, including stars, planets, galaxies, and interstellar matter. Scientific evidence, such as observations from telescopes, space probes, and human exploration, provides a robust foundation for understanding the reality and nature of space.
In the context of “space that is lacking anything that exists,” the concept often refers to vacuum or empty space. However, even this kind of space isn’t truly empty. According to modern physics, what might seem like a void is often filled with fluctuating quantum fields, virtual particles, or even dark energy.
The idea of absolute nothingness—a space completely devoid of matter, energy, and even physical laws—is more philosophical than scientific. In science, space is typically defined as the framework within which objects exist and events occur, governed by physical laws, so “completely empty space” might not be possible according to our current understanding.
In philosophy, this concept often leads to discussions about the nature of existence, non-existence, and whether “nothingness” is even conceivable as a true state.
