I'm not sure empty space can exist.

Does it exist?

Maybe it's not empty?

What does "empty space" even mean?

Maybe space/locations is/are "space pixels" on a "space screen"?

It almost seems like the term "empty space" is a paradox.

Maybe "nothing" and "space" are two different terms?

It is not really obvious what empty space means. At the smallest scales we still have vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields creating and destroying particles all the time. Space is never truly empty.
