[Morgan]

It's a good history of how the concept of a complete vacuum has evolved over the past 2 thousand years. This includes sections on how findings of modern physics have shed light on the subject. For example, the theory of general relativity seems deny the possibility of a vacuum existing. But the same theory can consistently describe universes which contain no matter at all. An explanation of how this can be is one example of the topics covered in this book.

Actually, there is more to the book than that. Several sections also cover the concept of zero, and how it has evolved over the years. Quite honestly, I didn't find this to be of much interest. Someone with a greater interest in the history of mathematics might enjoy those sections more, but I mainly find the sections on vacuums to be the reason to get this book.

I have read The Book of Nothing and I highly recommend it. It is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the concept of nothingness and its role in our lives. The author presents a unique perspective on the subject and challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of nothing. The writing is engaging and the examples used are relatable, making it an enjoyable read. I think anyone interested in philosophy or self-reflection would find this book valuable. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it as you continue reading.
