"If you could remove all baryonic and dark matter from space it seems to me that space itself would still exist. I understand that dark energy is characterized as the 'fabric' of space and is what has driven expansion from the beginning; but is space dependent upon dark energy for its (and the universe's) existence?"
"Even in the deepest voids in intergalactic space, space continues to exist and expand, indicating that the fabric of spacetime is resilient and independent of the matter and energy within it."
