Michael, I think I remember something about this- nature truly does abhor a vacuum- so vacuums are unstable, and matter tends to 'pop' into existence on a quantum scale due to the vacuum energy- or something like that? One day my daughter will be grown-up and I will be able to read and study again! Hope I live long enough to put a dent in this ever-growing "must read" list! --- Michael Carnes <michaelcarnes@earthlink.net> wrote:
Don, you mentioned vacuum energy in one of your replies. This brings to mind an excellent book from a few years back called "The Hole in the Universe: How Scientists Peered Over the Edge of Emptiness and Found Everything", by K.C. Cole. It deals with the science of nothing--why a vacuum isn't and so on. Depending on your nature, it will either put you right to sleep or keep you from sleeping at all.
