dont get fluidic space

Of course pressuse density is another matter entirely, but it seemed to be negligible other than sending a compression wave.

Yeah, that compression wave bothered me too. That indicates displacement and given the apparent volume of liquid it should be difficult for Voyager to push against that much mass (which made me ask my original question about crush depth). Also, usually if there's no external atmospheric pressure on a liquid in a vacuum or near vacuum it will start to boil into a vapor but we weren't shown anything like that. It would be funny if we were talking about a huge scale difference and all of 8472's universe existed on just a microscope slide in some other reality.
In the end I think I have to put in the same category as when one of the Q transformed Voyager into a christmas tree ornament - we'll just have to smile and nod.

The fluid in fluidic space would exert upon itself an unbearable pressure and voyager would have been crushed like a plastic cup in the hand of Hulk, a day when was really angry.

you forget unlike every other engineer in the universe torres almost completed her undergraduate classes

I always thought it was some extragalactic dimension-in prey its referred to as a realm. Maybe like where the prophets live just a tad or two down on the metaphysical chain if you know what I mean?

It doesn't make much sense, but I thought fluidic space was really cool. I know at one point they referred to it as another universe (they reach ours via singularities - black holes by another name), and other times they've spoken of fluidic space and ours having a border.

It could be anything. A weird super-dense nebula, the insides of a gigantic space monster, another universe where the laws of physics are totally different (in the animated Trek series, they went to other universes where magic was real and where time flowed backwards and black stars shone in a white sky)

I actually like that they didn't explain it to the nth degree, as Voyager loved to do so much.

The actual universe the giant amoeba come from maybe...
