could the wourd "fabric" be a theoretical term for the structure of things in space, space is empty so there is only nothiness inbetween objects like stars, planets and galaxies, so fabric could be a incorrect term to use to describe the nothiness in space.
Space is not empty. If there were nothing in space between objects they would be stuck to and touching each other. Just like when you suck out all the air from a sucktion cup, The meaning of : space is empty and nothing (=no thing) is there means that no material thing is there ( although I would even debate that ) but there are waves and radiations exist there. For example gravitational forces which pull or repell planets around the Sun, or forces coming from the Sun to planets.
