Air is physical, and has degrees of non-physicality relative to a chair, or a cool ass looking Christmas beetle.

When you compress air to the highest possible degree under extreme conditions (millions of atmospheres), the gases in the air turn into liquids, solids, and even metals. [1, 2]

Extreme Phase Changes

Extreme Heat: Squeezing air forces its molecules into a tiny space, causing them to crash into each other rapidly. This creates a massive surge in temperature.

Liquid Air: If you cool the air while pressing it, the gases turn into liquid.

Color Changes in Oxygen: Past 10,000 atmospheres, oxygen turns pink, then red, and then orange.

Nitrogen Chains: Around 20,000 atmospheres, nitrogen molecules link up to form chains and rings.

Metallic Oxygen and Solid Nitrogen: Above 950,000 atmospheres, oxygen turns into a shiny metal that conducts electricity. Above 1 million atmospheres, nitrogen turns into a solid polymer network that stores huge amounts of energy.

Superconductivity: At very high pressures and low temperatures, compressed oxygen can even become a superconductor with zero electrical resistance

Sometimes one forget that something simple of air have such Mystery on itself.

Don't forget you can compress non-physical things.

So space is non-physical?

How could we compress a non-physical? We will enter the SpaceTime compression here? I am not good with Equations

Be less black and white about it. 

Think degrees.

Physicalism is spectrum and spectrum requires spectacles.

Since everything is non-physical, all compression has always been non-physical.

Space is literally compressed by gravity, according to science.

And you cannot say space is non-physical, since it is the subject of physics.

If you say that space is non-physical, then you have admitted that the source of all physical things is non-physical.

You do not know what physical is, stop pretending like you do. You don't know what physical is so profoundly that you don't even know if physical exists at all. Don't forget to consider than physical may not be a thing at all.

If you mean the space dark in the nigth sky as being non-physical I would ask what defines non-physical? If I make a definition it would only change the name and not clarify it at all.

Tomorrow I will wake up and swim in a non-physical ocean in my front door? Whatever I call it, when I jump in the water there is something there,i feel it, I am affected by if, calling physical or non-physical changes nothing in the experience.
