Letter: Nothing's up

Published 14 December 2011

From Tissa Perera

I thought physicists had given up hope when I read “Why nothing matters” in the online version of the editorial to your special issue covering zero, the empty set, electron hole theory, the vacuum and noble gases (newscientist.com/article/mg21228391.300).

It soon became clear though. What physicists need to do is to work on a TON – a Theory Of Nothing.
