In the context of all the very latest theories of:
The expansion of the universe,
The effects of dark matter and energy,
Gravitation and the other fundermental forces of nature,
General and Special Relativity,
Black hole singularities,
Inflation,
The size of the whole universe and the decreasing size of the observable universe,
Time,
The family of fundermental particles,
The shape of the universe,
Increasing entropy,
The constants of nature eg. G, c, more here: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/constants.html
and probably much more.
I would like to ask a very simple question that my teacher asked me when I was just 9 years old and which I am finding I am now less able to answer more than ever:
What is Space?
I could probably also throw in there "What is Time?", because I suspect there will be some commonality.
I suspect that a full and correct answer of this question is necessary for a truly fundermental understanding of the Physics of the Universe.
