i cant believe no one has responded to this already.
to state it simply space is "the final frontier" (i just HAD to say that)
all jokes aside space is the infinate canvas on which everything resides

Space in my opinion is undefined. I think it is an area that holds the universe together and contains billions/trillions of stars.
Dictionary Definition - The unlimited or incalculably great three-dimensional realm or expanse in which all material objects are located and all events occur.

I've never seen this thread, must have missed it completely. That's actually a hard question. In one of the previous versions of this forum, we had a real picture of the universe from the Hubble space telescope (with was altered by me to fit the forum of course ), and I was in this board one day just looking at the background wondering what was I really looking at, wondering why it was here, and trying to imagine if the universe was never to be. Got me thinking, I created a thread on it somewhere. But alas, the question "what is space" is a difficult question, one hard to explain, so I'll try to let wikipedia answer it for me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_space

In my personal opinion? It is the universe. Space and the universe are one and the same to me. Space is what makes up the universe... and I can't think of anything else to say to better explain my thoughts so Im going to leave it at that for now.

Space is really several things: 1st: It is clear area 2nd: It is the spot above our heads 3rd: (and more seriously) It is I guess the entire excisting place. Where planets, stars. suns, and solar systems are at and are made at. Space is the uh, thing that is where anything that's everything lives, moves, excists, talks, learns, and just lives at. According to what I believe as a member of my church, is that God created the earth and everythign around it. No one really knows if God made everything get smushed together and then fly apart in random ways. I also have someone's opinion that maybe when the angels created everything they made the dinosaurs in one planet and the two planets (earth and ?) combind together to create the earth with some strange creatures in it. Space is just what everything lives and/or excists at. This is really hard to answer you know...

What is space to me? Well to me space is just a mass of gases and rock lying around our planet. It's an amazing place about which we have so much to find out yet. And it's a place which generated the most burning question ever: ARE WE ALONE?

And it's a place which generated the most burning question ever: ARE WE ALONE? Either answer is a scary thought when you think of it. The fact that we are not alone can be scary. Just what really is out there? The fact that we are alone is equally as scary. Why us, all alone in the unimaginable massive universe? Despite my Agent Fox Mulder like philosophy: "I WANT TO BELIEVE", I do believe we are not alone, simply based on several factors, one of them being, if life originated here, why not elsewhere? So I do believe we're not alone.

So I do believe we're not alone. I'm not even sure what to believe about it. If i watch things from the religious point of view then I think we are alone as God created us. But if I take things from the scientific point of view I think: if the Big Bang and everything generated this planet (well, as a long distance effect) then why should we consider it is the only planet able to support life? After all there are many solar systems out there and maybe on a planet in one of them some life forms are able to exist. Of course, by life in the universe I don't necessarily expect green little men nor some very inteligent life form, but even discovering some plants or germs or something on a planet would prove that we are not alone in the universe. The universe is indeed a great mystery

Yup, though there's no greater mystery than how I ever managed to get hold of over £2300 in less than 18 months though! ;D (Considering I have no job and I bearly keep my room tidy) ;D
