But I guess, "A Universe From Almost Entirely Empty Space Teeming With Quantum Activity" isn't as punchy of a book title.
I wasn't certain whether Lawrence or the media were pushing the nothing line.
He seemed to go aloing with it and then he didn't.
I guess it goes back to defining nothing as something relative.
I got what he was saying. Again, it was more of an analogy. The sub particle world is so small that there is a quantum world that can fly under the radar, that is what he meant by "nothing" . And I do agree when he says, "nothing is unstable".
Quantum mechanics is science, an old book of mythology isn't.
