...Are just as important as the bits themselves. Words would lose their meanings if there weren't gaps between them!!!

DNA reads the same. There are exons (words) and introns (spaces): Exons are sequences of DNA that code information for protein synthesis that is transcribed to messenger RNA; Introns are segments of a gene situated between exons that is removed before translation of messenger RNA and does not function in coding for protein synthesis...

In fact, 'spaces' or 'junk' are fundamental to creating identity. Every individual thing has its punctuations and pauses...

There is no waste. It's all important, or it would not BE!!!
