In that case I want to know what nothing smells like. I will never have that chance though.

It's possible that light radiation changes scent particles to smell like metal.  :shrug:

There are no particles in space though. Right? Or maybe I am just thinking about this wrong.

I would say there are, as few and tiny as they may be.. I mean how else do we end up with something like a planet? :shrug:

I already mentioned this, but maybe I need more links in order to nerd this up.

The space station is in low earth orbit:

Space Station

Low Earth Orbit

Also known as the thermosphere:

Thermosphere

I quote:

"The thermosphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and directly below the exosphere. Within this layer, ultraviolet radiation causes ionization."

The only ionized particle I can think of is ozone, ionized oxygen, but there might be others too probably depending on the specific height of the craft.

Sorry for ruining it, I drank my coffee this morning.

Well there are masses of particles solid, gas, or plasma(I do not think liquid can exist in pure space). But for the other 99.999% or whatever is there little particles floating around? I am too lazy/burnt out to look this up. I am interested and am not just arguing for the sake of it.

There are DEFINITELY particles in space. In fact, ISM (Inter-stellar matter) makes up something like 5% of all the mass in our galaxy.

Yea I understand that graph. But that is not what I was wondering. We do not even know what dark energy or matter really is anyways.

Wrong. The average particle density of the stellar medium in the Milky Way is about a million particles per square meter.

Ok I am wrong. Continue with your smell of space discussion.

There's not only light traveling in space, there's also gamma radiation, x-rays, and all those fun heavy particles. Even at the edge of the universe, scientists estimate the temperature (energy), caused by background radiation from the big bang, to be about 2 point something kelvins, which is pretty high considering. So there is indeed matter "everywhere," at least inside the universe.

You'll have to trip into another dimension to get away from the heat.

Out of all the things it could possibly be he guesses the smell must be 'space.'  Oh c'mon...

edit: When I inoculate I smell rubbing alcohol, therefore spores smell like rubbing alcohol :smirk:

Gamma rays and x-rays are light.
