About the Book

From the zeros of the mathematician to the void of the philosphers, from Shakespeare to the empty set, from the ether to the quantum vacuum, from being and nothingness to creatio ex nihilo, there is much ado about nothing at the heart of things. Discoveries in astronomy are shown to shed new light on the nature of the vacuum and its dramatic effect on the explanation of the Universe.
