Re: RIGHT!

"Pressure" is a concept that is the statistical result of stuff bumping into each other and exchanging momentum via electrostatic force. Here we have space pressuring against stuff because someone applied a thermodynamic argument about closed containers with constant internal energy to circumscribed volumes in empty space being filled with energy isothermically via a magic energy faucet from nowhere (gridfire, anyone?). How does this make sense?

So it applies to the three ordinary spatial dimensions.

Really?

Obviously I'm not intelligent enough to perceive that the argument is a sophomorism

You should start then or politicians and their court sycophants will sell you ANYTHING.
