thing to look into... or Tim is soooooo lucky to have me asking him all of these questions

Just learned today about how quantum theory implies that there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum. Very interesting as atomists had this duality of generic matter and pure void, while Aristotle rejected this duality....of course, you can't really come to a conclusive answer to a philosophical question, except perhaps to show sometimes that something what was once thought of as impossible is not only possible but actual.
