Yeah, they're probability distributions, not fields. So electrons, protons and neutrons are still tiny, even though their positions are uncertain. And so atoms are still mostly empty space.
I think you make less commitments of space this way.
But you might also think, “this eyebrow is hairs with not too much space between.”, or “this box is hydrogen and oxygen without too much space between.”
An eyebrow is hairs with a certain spatial density and distance (space) from the eyes. Water is hydrogen and oxygen with relatively less space between than say water vapor.
If I think of space as a magnitude, all the math and forces still work out, but there is “room” for other stuff.
But there are other trade-offs.

On a related note, as a physics grad, I've been looking into growing evidence that shows consciousness affecting what we observe (i.e. wave-particle duality in this case).
Have you seen Steven Greer's latest film (CE5)?
Granted, I don't really understand the details of what this means, but that's what I remember of the current science.
Most physicists would likely say that there's no point trying to visualize this stuff in mundane terms. Or at least, that's what they were saying the last time I took a physics course.
But what about this?
