SPACE
Space
The idea of space has been of interest for
philosophers and
scientists for much of human history. The term is used somewhat differently in different fields of study, hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts. Disagreement also exists on whether space itself can be measured or is part of the measuring system. (See Space in philosophy.) Science considers space to be a fundamental quantity (a quantity which can not be defined via other quantities because other quantities — like
force and
energy — are already defined via space). Thus an
operational definition is used in which the procedure of
measurement of space intervals (
distances) and the units of measurement are defined. Because this is the only available in science definition of space, then all known properties of space follow from this very definition.
