Question
There is emptiness between two atoms, for example, and also in outer space. How is it that there is emptiness? I mean… there is matter and there is nothing, emptiness, but how do we know emptiness when it is nothing? Because if it exists, it must be something, right? I hope I have asked the question with the right words.

Emptiness is not nothing. Sometimes emptiness expresses itself as mass, which is itself intrinsically empty; sometimes as a force, like gravity; sometimes as electrical or magnetic energy, as a frequency or a particle. Emptiness is everything, and everything is empty. You could call it the music of all things.
