Science Term Needed

["Dennis G. Jones 941-773-3147" <JONESD4@MAIL.FIRN.EDU>]

Dear Friends:

Today an acquaintance approached me and said, "You're a librarian, so you
know everything or how to find it.  Can you remind me of a science term
that I knew for years, but have forgotten?  It refers to the space that
exists between any two objects, no matter how tightly packed together they
might be."

I appreciate his belief that librarians are somehow omniscient and would
hate to disappoint him.  Can anyone supply the word he has forgotten?
