well yeah, now that you mentioned it I saw it in the list, I apparently just am blind.

and you should've used rainbow colors imo. It's light!

Sound is my knee jerk answer... but I think it was vetoed already.

room filled with something other than matter
a room is always filled with air until someones force air out of it (by entering for example)

Then pick something to do with energy that has no mass.

What about fire? Fire itself has no mass, unlike the things that combust to make the fire.

Like butane combustion: C₄H₁₀ + O₂ --> CO₂ + H₂O

The fire isn't any of the molecules, nor is it the vibration of the molecules (aka heat).

Ah! You want something without scientific explanation?

Then I'll say ghosts or spirits and such stuff.

nah, she specifically wanted one with a scientific explanation:

I already asked many people and received many answers... but they are all wrong... because there's a scientific explanation...

PS: I may not be able to respond immediately...

maybe she means she doesn't know the answer either, and that she likes the answer of "love", but she can't think of a scientific explanation for that, or something? *shrug*

This riddle is quite intriguing. A quick Google search in an education website revealed the answer to be light. But if light isn't the answer in this case, then what could it be?

Is it possible that the answer is waves? From what I could remember in my physics class, light and sound are forms of waves (and my Google search showed that these are called electromagnetic waves). I guess the reason that light and sound were not the solutions to this question is because light and sound can be further simplified in waves.

Am I correct?

It's either God or stupidity! (yes, it has the potential for a joke, but it wasn't my intention)

I don't see how "Love" can be explain with scientific reasoning in it filling up volume, true love is also caused by chemical reactions- hormones in our bodies, but other wise, we don't send "love" particles around in any space and I doubt there ever would be enough to love to fill up any room considering the negativity around

So I'll trust Akonyl on this, and agree with his statement there :V
