What is Space?

What is space: An empty stage, where the physical world of matter acts 
out its drama; an equal participant, that both provides background and 
has a life of its own; or the primary reality, of which matter is a 
secondary manifestation? Views on this question have evolved, and 
several times changed radically, over the history of science. Today, 
the third view is triumphant.  I'll discuss the new space, how we got 
to it, and where it points.
