What is Void: The Strange Physics of Nothing (Foundational Questions in Science) about?

**The rising star author of __The Physics of Wall Street__ explores why “nothing” may hold the key to the next era of theoretical physics** James Owen Weatherall’s previous book, __The Physics of Wall Street,__ was a __New York Times__ best-seller and named one of __Physics Today__’s five most intriguing books of 2013. In his newest volume, 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 __nothing__? 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 __something__, 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.
