Let's get our heads around it.In theory if we created a vacuum, no air inside, would the object just float?
Let's look at a few scenarios relating to what we're told of a vacuum.
1. We're told a vacuum is the absence of particles, almost. But it has a few scattered one's.
And then it has gas planets and rocky planets and ice and rock asteroids and meteors...etc...etc.
2. We're told that although there's no particles, you can float forever as long as you have propulsion, which in itself is a direct contradiction of what it tries to offer.
3. We get told the vacuum of space is dark. It's the absence of light because it offers no reflective properties....unless light hits a reflective property and that light can travel through something that our own sense know as a blackness that absorbs all light in the first place.
And so on. Lots of other stuff but let's move on and look at fantasy and how we differentiate from it.
Ok.
So let's go with a true vacuum as we're told cannot every be, yet it can when it suits.
A vacuum is the absence of anything. Those simple words offer nothing.
And I mean NOTHING.
Basically a vacuum in what we're told to be a true vacuum cannot ever be because it offers nothing as a word to a reality.
It means none existence of anything because for anything to actually be something it has to be something and cannot be anything in a true vacuum.
I know I know....but.
Let's look down the fantasy route.
A vacuum being a true vacuum would offer us darkness. A true black or a deep black as we're told.
It would offer us suspended animation, sort of. In fantasy.
What does this mean?
It would mean if we put a person in it (assuming the fantasy) then that person stays put.
No arm waving of feet kicking will offer any change. I mean a person couldn't survive anyway but we're looking at the fantasy.
A Stewie and Brian (family guy) mindset.
But the space we're offered is akin to this fantasy only we're offered a few little nibbles to whet our space appetites, such as tiny scattered particles of one or another at random areas in free space or the actual true vacuum they tell us does not exist but they're offering us just that in between the scattered particles.
The silliness is off the scale.
So put a rocket in this space and somehow it can offer a burn which will offer it propulsion opposite to that burn.
Why burn anything in a vacuum? What is it burning against?
And this is where the arguments get worse but become a person's reality when the argument gets put out as (it's not the burn outside that propels the craft it's happening inside the craft/rocket."
But apart from that offering it also gets thrown out as, once you propel you go on forever because there's no resistance to to the craft but yet that resistance was found to propel it.
How?
I'm well aware of people arguing for it but it really doesn't take a lot to actually see through the nonsense of it for anyone allowing themselves the opportunity to actually sieve through the fantasy in order to leave the reality or at least to see the fantasy for what it is.
