    What is the opposite of 'vacuum'?

    i was asked this & i had to cheat, still took me a time to find it on google.

    I think i know who's going to answer this first [​IMG]

    couldn't believe some of the answers on one site were saying things like 'broom'! Hope they were joking.

    cheers

    We were taught at school (in the olden days :D ) that Plenum was the opposite of vacuum. I don't know whether that has been superceded by a different explanation. [​IMG] [​IMG]
