The Book Of Nothing

Product Description

From the zeros of the mathematician to the void of the philosophers, from Shakespeare tot he empty set, from the ether to the quantum vacuum, from being & nothingness to creatio ex nihilo, there is much ado about nothing at the heart of things. Recent exciting discoveries in astronomy are shown to shed new light on the nature of the vacuum & its dramatic effect upon the explanation of the Universe. This remarkable book ranges over every nook & cranny of nothingness to reveal how the human mind has had to make something of nothing in every field of human enquiry.
