Lots of stuff

There are no things, no gaps and no stuff.
Matter is just energy at a slow vibration, it appears solid, but it's not.

This post made me go "ooooooh" lol.

I guess it depends on what level you obsrve the world to what extent "gaps" and "stuff" occurs,,,as in the atomic lvel has quite alot of..."space" with nothing in it etc etc and then there is string theory and that makes all sorts of interesting statements...

Except at Watford.

LOL
