My wife asked me to enlarge our closet. She said she needed more space.
She had several boxes of stuff that she needed to put there.
I got out my ruler and measured the boxes of stuff. Then I measured the
closet to see how much larger I would have to make the closet in order
to accommodate the additional stuff.
When I was finished, my wife thanked me for making more space. I
understood that I measured the height, width, and length of the boxers
of stuff. I also measured the distance between the walls, floor, and
ceiling of the closet. I never did measure space.
Curious about this, I tried an experiment. I cut a hole into a piece of
paper. Once again, I couldn't measure the space I had created in the
paper. I could only measure the paper.
Then I got out a doughnut from the fridge. I noticed there was a round
hole, or space in the middle of the doughnut. I measured this space to
be 1.5 inches across. I ate the doughnut enlarging the space. I was able
to create more and more space until there was no longer a doughnut. The
doughnut space had merged with the space in the room.
Determined to measure the resulting space created by the now digesting
doughnut, I tore down the walls of our home. This only resulted in the
merger of the doughnut space to the house space and to the space
surrounding the earth.
I am writing this to you from my own private space at the Greeenlawn
facility where the nice people so graciously provided a laptop with
wireless access to the interwebs in hopes that others might learn the
same valuable lesson that I have learned from this experience:
Space is NOT a what! It is a where!
I have to go now. The rather homely, but nice lady is bringing me the
wonderful little pill which allows me to exit "physical" space and enter
into the rather different location of pure thought space.
Rest gently, my friends, and fear not! There is no beginning and
therefore no end to space, only separation between objects. surrounding
objects and within objects where there is not matter. - John Smith aka Monk E. Monk
