But then you say space has no mass or energy by itself. This is just not correct. No problem with metaphor or generalizations but you are over generalizing and introducing confusion. Space is not empty at all. There is a LOT going on and it shouldn't be minimized.

Nope. In physics, you won't find any physicist say there is nothing or space is mostly nothing. Space is full of stuff.

It's not nothing, not even close. Nothing is not a thing. Time is not nothing.

It's definitely not nothing.

Because it's not a good explanation. No offense to the guy but it's hard to explain.

I literally asked what do you want? And I'm the knee jerking? Lol. No.
Can you answer?

Is that what you really want? Everyone to be exact equal? What do you want?

The answer is that we evolved alongside them. We share a long relationship of coexistence to mutually benefit each other.

Simple google search.
Does space itself have energy?
Vacuum energy is an underlying background energy that exists in space throughout the entire Universe. The vacuum energy is a special case of zero-point energy that relates to the quantum vacuum.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy#:~:text=Vacuum%20energy%20is%20an%20underlying,relates%20to%20the%20quantum%20vacuum.
Also, look up quantum fields. These exist outside of space and time and are everywhere. So space, even going with metaphor that it is mostly nothing isn't all there is. There is a whole other realm of stuff. The consensus is in physics is that the universe emerged from quantum fields.
