Space itself has energy … a very small amount ..but there's a lot of space .. so there's a lot of energy out there.
A true vacuum is impossible to achieve (or measure).
My 2 cents worth. (All reasonably justifiable opinions, mind you  )

Your two cents worth I value much higher Craig
.
I spend a lot of time thinking about nothing
... what one may find in nothing. I always conclude there can be no such item as nothing so I find these voids very interesting but as they are our best nothing to date little more is said..as what can be said about nothing?
I think it would be reasonable to expect that even in nothing there must be a great deal of something..even in a void the energy passing thru must be considerable even if we limit each galaxy to contributing only one photon per minute to the flow of energy one starts to wonder how even such a small number could "fit" into nothing.
I guess when I think of nothing I find it hard to throw out the term "aether" as it is difficult to visualize an absence of energy or even in other regions of space a presence of particles passing by...
I wonder how the higgs field may operate in, or if indeed it would exist in a void.
Thank you Craig for your meaningful input
