Here are two Plus articles exploring the nature of space and we also bring you two articles from FQXi who are our partners on this project . Happy reading What is space Space is the stage on which physics happens . It's unaffected by what happens inside it and it would still be there if everything in it disappeared . This is how we learn to think about space at school . But the idea is as novel as it is . out-dated Quantum geometry One of the manyHappenings – 2013 Apr 13
