dkv,
I AM AN INTROVERT.
The reason I am asking this question out loud is because I want to see if everyone's answer matches mine, not because I couldn't answer it. SIMPLE SOULS?! That is an insult!!

All that anyone has done so far is complain about the ambiguity of language. There should be some way for us to be able to post diagrams around here.

I'll try express the following as simply as possible so there are no misunderstandings;
I think that there is no such thing as empty space anywhere. What seems to be empty space is filled with particles so small they have no (noticable) effect on atoms.
Any objections on that before I go on?
