“Nothing makes the world real. Nothing makes the world work.” Our foundational outsight is that, with a subtle and deep understanding of Nothing, science will evolve and improve its knowledge of the manifest world. The most profound language for expressing Nothing is found in the traditions called the negative way. The apophatic philosophers, religious – and modern humble physicists – hold that very smart people should use their refined intellects and education to seek and express Nothing, yet also realize that Nothing lies off the cliff edge of thinking and words. Thus, our subtitle "Toward an Apophatic Science." Unfortunately, there is no pith to Nothing. However, when you read our book, you will come to a satisfying and useful understanding, an effective heuristic for the interpretation of science writing where Nothing is a presence or where the presence of Nothing would deepen the perspective of the work. ——————————————— "I feel as though you are onto something profound, at the nexus of physics, mind-science, philosophy and mysticism, where I too have spent time wandering . . .” John Horgan.
