Our models tell us this certainly but given the speed of say just an electron can we really view the space in an electron cloud as nothing...sure if we could stop things but we cant.
As I said science works on models and I really suspect there is much much more than our models predict.
And remember as wonderful as the standard model may be it still has problems it has not solved.
Now none of this is anti science the reverse I venture.
Our models are models but one can bet reality is far more complex.
