Immanuel Kant

Natural science physics contains in itself synthetical judgments a priori, as principles. ... Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions.

I have always loved the gaps, the spaces between things, as much as the things. I love staring, pondering, mulling, puttering.
