Description
"What is 'nothing'? What remains when you take the matter--the Earth, the Moon, and the stars--away? Can empty space--a void--exist? This Very Short Introduction explores the science and history of the nature of nothing: from Aristotle who insisted that the vacuum was impossible, via the theories of Newton and Einstein, to our very latest discoveries and why they can tell us extraordinary things about the cosmos."--Inside front cover.
