A fact is only a fact when you choose to believe it is. The same thing can said about truth.
It maybe true that there is nothing in space but I choose to believe that something occupies space. Otherwise space would not be there. There would be nothing. But nothing is something so space is occupied. But only to me. To you (general you, not you personally) there is nothing in space. So space does not exist. But you believe space exist, so it does.
So you can say whatever you what, it doesn't really matter if it's the truth or a fact. Because someone else won't believe you. To them you're a liar. But you know your telling the truth. But you can't convince the world that.
A fact is only something you can get someone else to agree too. The truth is what you believe it is, until someone gets you to think differently.
A man sees an apple fall from a tree. The same man sees another man coming up the road. He tells this man that the apple fell from the tree. The man on the road simply keeps walking ignoring what the first man said. He must be deaf.

We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor inward, no law. It is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility -- boundless possibility. There is no compulsion and no law. It is boundless freedom.

I hate 'is zero a number' debates.
oh, and black and white ARE fucking colours.
---------------------
Black is the absence of colour, white is the presence of all colours.
In terms of light, anyway.
If you're talking dyes, white is the absence of pigment, and black is the presence of it. Black simply contains all absorbing pigments.
You're half correct.

This +2 is purely for sympathy. Good post, I suppose. I know what you were trying to get at, and I agree with that point, but I don't think you made it particularly well. Nevertheless, you are ballsy and willing to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous Uberites to express your views, and I like that.

So deep and insightful. Did you study Philosophy in Grade School?
"Space" is the term used to describe the giant expanse that our planet resides in. The cosmos. We have to call it something, and seeing as a lot of it filled with nothing (It's a vacuum. Zero pressure in all directions), someone pointed out that it was a big, empty "SPACE". We know there is stuff in "space"... Dust, planets, stars, nebulae, other stellar bodies, but "space" more accuratly describes the gaps between the larger chunks of matter.
Now go back to school and relearn what they taught you when you were 9 years old.
If anyone wants to elaborate on this (As an astrophysisist or similar), then feel free. I'm going with the explaination i've known since I was about 11.

Ummm... Is this your attempt at being "deep?" If so you've failed miserbaly.
I ask you to jump off a cliff surrounded by jagged rocks in a shark-infested ocean.
You don't.
You must be retarded.
