Space is defined as an embedding metric that represents the distribution of mass and energy, rather than being a static form of energy itself. It contains energy, with the volume of space around a black hole exhibiting significantly more energy than an equivalent volume in areas with minimal mass, such as intergalactic regions. This distinction clarifies the relationship between space, mass, and energy, emphasizing that space serves as a medium for energy rather than being energy itself.
