Guys, This thread has devolved into a discussion on the semantics and meaning of words. Nobody here is arguing about what's actually in space, or what space is actually like - instead, you're arguing of which word is the best to use to describe it. Space is what it is, and everyone pretty much knows what 'space' means in this context. We don't need a better word for it.
Similarly, what people see or don't see is determined simply and absolutely by which neurons in the brain are firing in response to which stimuli. This is an absolute; neurons fire or they don't, and we could argue over whether this is black, or blackness, or nothing, or nothingness until the cows come home, but none of those words describe what is actually happening in someone's head. If you wish to continue the topic, I politely request that you move it to a grammar or english semantics/etymology list where it might be more appropriate.
