Reply to Researchers say derelict objects left in orbit and other disintegrating space junk may cause a catastrophic collision above our atmosphere. They warn that they would destroy communication systems, setting modern society back decades. by Wagamaga

Part of my dystopian sci-fi imagery is a host of space junk vacuum bots roaming earth's orbits sucking up pieces to make in and out flights a little more safe, creating temporary open pathways to fly through.

I'm going for the save here - I think he'd trying to say that you would infer that something was there by the fact that absolutely nothing is there - a null space. Like a black hole you can't see it but infer it's existence by knowing something should be there, even if it's the stars behind it.

This painted diamond I think would be obvious as it would be a big black nothingness in the middle of the room. It's black not invisible.
