Everything Everywhere Daily

A Brief History of Nothing


Listen Later

One of the most difficult concepts for early thinkers to get their heads around was the idea of nothing. 

Everywhere we go, all our lives, there is something. There is air and matter that surrounds us everywhere because if there weren’t, we wouldn’t be here. 

Eventually, scientists and philosophers became comfortable with the idea of nothing and were able to study it. What they found was that nothing was actually something. 

Learn more about vacuums and how the concept of it was accepted and then eventually created and put to use on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
