Only 350 years of new age of modern science which revealed the secret of the law of nature ( Law of physics) and to understand how the universes worked since the space and time began 13.7 billions years ago. Before the Big Bang occurred , there were nothing , no light , no elements and no particles , atoms and not even the space . Now the space grow bigger and bigger as we know that the universe has been expanding . And it might be the truth that the dark  energy travel faster than the speed of light which could be proved by observing the universe expanding and the black hole swallowed the stars and nothing could escape from the black hole , not even the light. So now the new research found out that a particle (Neutrino) could travel faster than the speed of light .So the space is not only empty room or vacuum which grow bigger every second.
