Is there anything that does not occupy space?

Is there anything that does not occupy space?

Vacuum has no Mass but occupies space.

Is there any object that has mass but does not occupy space?

So that particles like higgs boson,photons ,gluons,does not have mass but occupies the space. Unlike fermions (whose spin no is 1/2) ,two bosons can occupies same space.

What object does not have a mass?

In particle physics, a massless particle is an elementary particle whose invariant mass is zero. The two known massless particles are both gauge bosons: the photon (carrier of electromagnetism) and the gluon (carrier of the strong force).

Does mass occupy space?

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Mass gives an object the property of weight and inertia (resistance to change in the motion of an object). The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies.

How can something have mass but no size?

Based on the latest breakthroughs in particle physics, the answer is a plain NO – it’s not possible for a massive particle to have no volume. In fact, it is NOT possible for any particle, whether massive or massless, to have zero volume. ALL particles have a certain volume, no matter how small beyond observation.

Is there space without mass?

A space devoid of masses still has a shape (it still has Einstein’s metric field). That shape can even be curved, even without any masses, according to the equations. Perfectly “empty” space will always have vacuum energy, the Higgs field, and spacetime curvature.

Is air does not occupy space?

Matter is anything that has mass and volume. For example, air has mass and takes up space.

Does electricity have mass?

Electricity is just a flow of electrons, and these electrons do have mass, but it is an absurdly small amount. Electricity is, strictly speaking, just the flow of electrons and so it doesn’t make sense to talk of it weighing anything as it’s an abstract quantity.

What is occupy space and has mass?

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.

Is there anything that occupies space and has mass?

Matter isanything that has mass and takes up space. There arefour states of matter, solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. If something isin a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The volume of an object isthe amount of spaceit occupies. How would you show that a gas occupies space?

Why does matter not occupy the empty space?

Hence it will not occupies empty space’s volume. Else it displaces the empty space to other region. Therefore space is not fixed like a container and matter’s existence is not depending on space. Without space also matter (filled existence) existed.

Are there any particles that do not have mass?

However, the fermions “avoid each other” in the sense that no identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state. Therefore, in effect, they have volume. Examples of fermions are electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, neutrinos etc. None of the fermions are massless.

Are there any elementary particles that have any dimensions?

Firstly, there is no elementary particle which has any dimensions . All elementary particles are geometrical points and have no intrinsic volume. However, the fermions “avoid each other” in the sense that no identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state. Therefore, in effect, they have volume.
