I posted in that thread about the silly construction of the words of that study. It isnt that 25% of Americans think the Sun orbits the Earth, its that the wording in the survey leads to reading comprehension errors.
Write an easy question the wrong way, get wrong answers.
But I sense your dyslexia, as you want to thank dog for brainiacs. (Bolded, in your quote above).
You have something against dogs??? I don't believe in god but I do believe in dogs because you can at least pet them which is more than I can say for god.

In fact, I have (3) Chinese Shar-Peis and (1) Pomeranian. :-) They are all my cuddle bears.
Last summer, we had 5 Shar-Peis. I bought Porkchop (F), and then a month later her brother Thunder (M). M + F = Baby M, M & F. (Pickles, Lilly, and Monkey). Thunder passed last summer with a brain stroke, and Lilly passed at Christmas time from kidney failure. Both extremely uncommon in any animal, especially at Thunders age (4) and Lillys age (2).

So while we're crazy, we were crazier
I have two dogs. A 6 year old male Boerboel (South African mastiff), and a 10 year old female Alaskan Husky. I love dogs, but I am no fan of ankle-biters.
Ok, lets keep the politics and silly jests out of this thread, and keep it science related. Much appreciated!

It sounds like your question is "What is empty space?". It's full of everything! On a quantum mechanics understanding, virtual particles pop in and out of existence in empty space all the time. Its full of radiation from the big bang, full of waves of photons traveling to and from, etc...
The appearance of particles is really just a misnomer. Everything is a quantum field, and the fields are full of waves, and our observance of a particle is really just the observance of a particular wave at a particular time. The stronger the wave the more particles it appears to be. Easy as that.

Dark is the absence of light. A universe without anything would be totally dark. The little bits of light we can see come from stars (mostly).
An interesting follow up to that question would be, "why is it dark in most directions?" In an infinite, steady-state universe, every direction you looked in would eventually reach a star, so the whole night sky should be as bright as the sun. This is called Olbers' Paradox. The resolution is that while the universe may be infinite, the observable universe is finite and low enough density that the night sky is rather dark.
Or perhaps you're asking a more fundamental question about the nature of "empty" space. Not as sure where to start with that one.

Seems kinda off topic
