It's my understanding that all interstellar space contains some level of matter.<br /><br />For the sake of discussion, lets say every cubic meter of space has ten atoms.<br /><br />Because space is expanding, will there be some predictable point in time when space has only nine atoms per cubic meter?<br /><br />Also, space expands faster at greater distances.<br /><br />Will the number of atoms per cubic meter of space be higher close to an observer, but automatically lower at great distances from an observer?<br /><br />Let's say an observer on a distant planet measures the number of atoms per cubic meter in space near Earth. <br /><br />Let's say that observer snaps his fingers and arrives at Earth. Then, he takes the same measurement of the same space, but this time from Earth.<br /><br />Will the number of atoms per cubic meter of space be the same for both observations? <br />
