Question: What happens if your house gets demolished ? Does the space within it's walls magically disappear, and cease to be? If a quantity of hydrogen gas gets stripped of all it's electrons leaving only protons which then repel each other. Does the space delineated by the distance between where the electrons were and their captivating proton vanish? Can one point in space ( one proton ) define a space surrounding it, or must there be more points to delineate a volume or distance in space? If the proton is 1 light year away from another proton as might be in interstellar space, and the second proton is struck by a cosmic ray and decays, what happens to the 1 light year of space that existed between the first and second proton?
