When you say "vacuum of space" or "space is a vacuum"

then you look stupid as fuck.

Do you enjoy embarrassing yourself? No? Then stop saying stupid shit like that. You say retarded crap like that because you've been programmed to say it. You think saying "vacuum of space" sounds cool, right? Yeah, that's it. That's what it's all about for you. Just the way things sound and feel. You don't care about reality.

Space is not a vacuum. It's only a "vacuum" in the sense that there's no air in space. Other than that, nope. Until about 100 years ago space was thought to be empty. Your brain is operating on outdated, 100 year old knowledge. Back then, 100 years ago, the words “vacuum” and “emptiness” were used interchangeably. But probes have now found that space contains atoms, dust, ions, and electrons. Although the density of matter in space is very low, it's not zero. Therefore, space isn't a vacuum in sense of there being “nothing there at all”. For example, the Solar “wind” is known to be a flow of charged electric particles coming from the Sun and sweeping round the Earth, ultimately causing visible effects like the Northern (and Southern) Lights. The dust particles in space are thought to be 2 to 200 nanometers in size, and many of them are also electrically charged, along with the ions and electrons. This mixture of neutral and charged matter is called plasma, and it's suffused with electromagnetic fields. The “empty” spaces between planets or stars or galaxies are very different from what astronomers assumed in the earlier part of the 20th century.
