I think the nature of reality is more like seething foam. We are one of the bubbles. It doesn't make sense to formulate the question of what is "outside" and "inside" the foam. The answer is MORE foam. Inside/outside is highly linear thinking and many systems are not subject to this type of analysis.

The wave nature of the universe makes it so there are places with something (matter) and places where there aren't (vacuum). But even that definition is weak. The most compelling photo I've seen is a cloud chamber track where two particles collide. They disappear, move 6 inches, then reappear on the same track, displaced horizontally, with no trace of either in between. Where were they when they weren't there?!!! God's pocket?

There are some very interesting articles being published that are pushing back on Einsteinian Mechanics. Speed of light measurements - below is one with a faster than c experimental results.

I've seen others where some light gets through an attenuator faster than it gets through a vacuum. Some people explain this as something akin to a porous nature to reality and that the light can "leak" through the space held by mater, in effect taking a short cut. So there are some paths through a brick that are "shorter" than the physical dimensions of the brick would suggest.
