So can you like, rub space? Can you rub two spaces together and heat it up? Space is supposed to be made of spacitrons or something, right?

There is an analog to thermodynamic transfer between spaces, actually. Bringing two parallel universes, or braneworlds (the string-theoretic name for our four-dimensional universe) together with enough gravitational causes particles to instantaneously jump from one to the other. A experiment is actually being conducted into the topic, wherein the rate of proton disappearance is observed in a supercooled cage.
But please, tell me more about how clever you think you are with your sophomoric physics jokes.
So like, space was supposed to be smaller before? Compared to what? If the universe is everything everywhere, then there is no external ruler to measure it, is there.
Is space nothing? Like if I went into outer space away from any planets or stars, would there just be nothing in front of me? Is nothingness even real?
