Our solar system is "space", our entire observable universe is "space", all dimensions of space and time is also "space". Unlike previously discussed topics, there are areas of space that our physics of earth cannot apply. Although humans have limitations in the exploration and understanding of space, we have never stopped from imagining.

Shown in the previous film Prometheus, the humans believe they were created by a more advanced species. The film has a complex plot and storyline, where one film answers some mysteries of the previous film, but al
