In this work, he takes on a fundamental concept of modern physics: nothing. The physics of *stuff—*protons, neutrons, electrons, and even quarks and gluons—is at least somewhat familiar to most of us. But what about the physics of \u003cem\u003enothing\u003c\/em\u003e? Isaac Newton thought of empty space as nothingness extended in all directions, a kind of theater in which physics could unfold. But both quantum theory and relativity tell us that Newton's picture can't be right. Nothing, it turns out, is an awful lot like \u003cem\u003esomething\u003c\/em\u003e, with a structure and properties every bit as complex and mysterious as matter. In his signature lively prose, Weatherall explores the very nature of empty space—and solidifies his reputation as a science writer to watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded on the 2017 Best Book List by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"An engaging and interesting account.\"— \u003cem\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Readers get a dose of biography while following such figures as Einstein, Dirac, and Newton to see how top theories about the void have been discovered, developed, and debunked.
