I missed that sorry Anoma otherwise I would have replied.
No worries.
Have you stopped to think about nothing yet? Since nothing doesn't exist what is it made from?
Stephen Hawking had a similar question in his book 'From Big Bangs to Black Holes'. I'll get to that in a bit because Micmac brought up a good question.
Yep I've thought about nothing what is it , you open your hand and say there's nothing there
But is that true , wouldn't there be air there
So is nothing just air
How can something come nothing w3 can't see wind but we know it's there
So basically everything is made up of atoms, some things are denser and contain more atoms in the space the object takes up whereas others are less dense.
For example, 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom = water (H20)
Add 1 more oxygen atom and you've got Hydrogen Peroxide.
Carbon Dioxide (C02), 1 carbon atom, 2 oxygen atoms.
On Earth our air, the atmosphere, is over 70% Nitrogen but we survive by breathing oxygen and convert it and breathe out carbon dioxide, on the contrary, plants breathe in carbon dioxide and by photosynthesis convert it into oxygen, hence why some people are so passionate about humans cutting down forests, etc.
I can only assume that oxygen is heavier than nitrogen therefore most of the nitrogen is in the upper layers of our atmosphere and vice versa. Like how helium balloons float, whereas air filled ones don't.
But in space there is no atmosphere, the small amount of gases out there have atoms that are so widely spaced that Stephen Hawking pondered that we know what stars and planets are made of, but what is between the stars? We don't know.
Hawking called it 'ether', otherwise known as '
Luminiferous aether'. He wasn't the first to ponder and try to discover what it was, so as a species we still have a long way to go to discover what is beyond our planet and in the nothingness.
Edit: by the way, Hawking's books are awesome, he writes them in layman's terms on purpose so anyone can understand the complexity of his studies, another one of his is called 'The universe in a nutshell'. Check them out.
