..Not in the least bit Pynchonic -- space

[malignd at aol.com]

True.


On another note -- and I apologize if I'm saying what everyone already knows -- but but "space" in galactic terms is not the emptiness through which solids, liquids, and gases move.  Space is, for (my) lack of a better word, a "thing."  When physicians speak of an expanding universe, they're not talking about stars and planets, expanding through space: they're speaking of "space" itself expanding.
