Where is space / (Space) ?

 This could be a pretty difficult question, depending on how you look at it.

At one time you might have been able to say that, -- space -- , is the black 

stuff, directly over the blue stuff, that you can't see , when you are looking

up.  Now a days, I think that  is a bit more difficult , complicated by

the issue of space-time , what or where or when that is.  So, depending on

how you look at it , it could be a pretty difficult question. And let's not

mention what is a manifold at all.


manifold, in mathematics, a generalization and abstraction of the notion 

of a curved surface; a manifold is a topological space that is modeled 

closely on Euclidean space locally but may vary widely in global properties.


( don't mention it )


There is, of course, another way to look at it, which is, the practical or pragmatic 

way.  For example, you often encounter the situation where, you

have some object and you want to put it someplace, so you might need to 

"make" space for it.  So under normal situations we encounter ourselves

" making " space, which is pretty curious to think about.



Speaking of space-time, we are approaching a national election, for 

various important government positions.  An event, in " space-time".

Many people suggest this election is highly relevant because of the

significant issues involved.  Some say that democracy " itself ", 

is on the ballot.  So we might have to think about " what " or " where "

is democracy itself.  And so, beyond that, there is how various 

people or groups view these highly relevant issues.  


I think that the time after the election, may be as important as that

election itself, but we agree there are many, many relevant issues

on the ballot.  One very important issue would be trust.  Can

we trust each other enough , can be believe in each other enough

to allow the cohesion - to pull together a nation and economy

that works for all of us.


Now, just worry about --- " all of us ".
