TheBoss7595Interesting, pole from the National Science Foundation. This, simply shows the educational system's failings in astronomy and astrophysics, and is a inadequate argument against space's existence. Earlier, you stated, the night sky appears to be, merely points of lights. I support this claim in the restraints, and limitation of the human eye, without enhancement through instruments, when specifically residing here on our planet. Many, American's understanding of space is based in this. However, when adequate instruments, such as the telescope, are brought into play, these points of light are magnified, and the celestial bodies residing become apparent. The pole simply shows, many Americans haven't touched the instruments required, to observe space effectively. It also, again shows the educational systems failings. All of this, rather then disproving my claim earlier, just peovides a picture of the average educational understanding, and access to scientific instruments. If, these same people had propper education, and access to scientific instruments, those poles would change drastically. I'd like to also note, you failed to understand my point presented, space is indeed a tangible thing anyone can verify, given the correct instruments, and the case of this pole education. Moon, rocks aren't very relevant in this conversation regarding space's existence. 3rd party handling, doesn't show unreliability, without direct evidence of tampering. This, isn't from me, with quick online search this information becomes apparent, you can verify the study yourself "A recent April 2026 study in Science Advances — led by the Institute of Geology and Geophysics (Chinese Academy of Sciences) with collaborators including the University of New Mexico — systematically identified nitrogen-bearing organic species on Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6 lunar soil grains [^2^]. The isotopic analysis showed these organics are lighter than carbonaceous chondrites and asteroid samples, consistent with delivery by asteroids and comets, then modified by impacts and solar wind irradiation." Space, can be indeed be measured in distance. Earlier, you failed to understand my analogy, space, like many physical laws, and theories cannot be collected. Imagine, if my best argument against gravity existing, was that we couldn't get a one pound bag of it. Similarly, let's flip the question, now since I've responded with a analogy. Provide to me a one pound bag of vacuum. You've, presented many claims regarding vacuums. Even, you intuitively understand its impossible, to collect a vacuum. And space in itself is a vacuum. Space, is simply the medium to which matter and physical laws exist. It's not physical, in the sense matter is. However, it can indeed be measured whether that be through General Relativity's understanding of the bending of space, or simply the existence of distance. If, I were to compare the distance between Earth and the Moon, that in-between, is space. And, that in-between can be quantified, measures, and runs under physical laws. Space, can be measured, however it doesn't exist in a physical state of matter, like a liquid, solid or gas may.
