Is it possible that space has density, i.e., can a given space of 1 cm have multiple 1 cm compressed into its 1 cm self?
TO GIVE AN INSIGHT INTO THIS QUESTION LET ME EXPLAIN
WHAT I REALLY MEAN.
So we all know the displacement route between 2 points
in 2-D space is the straight line between the 2 points. Now in case
of its 3-D self, the line joining the 2 points isn't the shortest
route between them. So there is another line which seems to be
longer in the 3-D self but actually is the displacement in the 3-D
world between the 2 points, known as a geodesic. So now as we keep
on adding dimensions to this hypothetical world (containing the 2
points) we keep on getting a new path which is actually shorter
than its earlier dimension! So, is it possible that the path
between the same 2 points get shorter and shorter but the space
between them actually remains the same as we keep increasing
dimension? Thus evolving the concept of "Density of
Space"
To find the accurate answer to this question, requires a high and deep study. I am giving you some data that can be helpful to you to obatin the conclusion.
It is often a misconception that space is empty. Space is nearly a perfect vacuum, even better than the best ones made in labs on earth, but it is not devoid of everything. The space is filled with tiny particles called cosmic dust and particles of helium and hydrogen. Now I am proving some important results that may be helpful to you.
"It averages roughly one atom per cubic centimeter, but density as great as 1000/cubic centimeters and as small as 0.1 atom/cubic centimeters have been found."
"On average, the density of matter in space between the stars of milky way is 0.1 neutral Hydrogen atome per cubic centimeters."
"On the average this haze contains about one atom per cubic centimeters"
"The density of gas cloud is incredibly small by terrestial standards----the clouds contains roughly one hydrogen atom per cubic centimeters"
"If you went out to space in spiral arm of the galaxy, you will find one to two atoms of the gas per cubic inch"
I hope this information would become helpful to you to draw a conclusion in context to your question.
Thank you.
