Against the Nothingness of Space

The vacuum is often described as empty, inert, or nothing. Yet quantum fields pervade every so-called “empty” region. Space is never empty; it is a medium of relational potential. To call it nothingness encourages the illusion of a Newtonian void where objects act upon one another across emptiness. In truth, every “vacuum” is saturated with possibilities, fluctuations, and latent interactions. Reality is relationally dense, even when appearances suggest emptiness.
