Psi Mon, Atlanta Dear Psi Mon, In scientific terms, ''something'' is matter, and ''nothing'' equates to a vacuum, or matter-free space.
Matter always rushes in to fill a vacuum.
Nature is supposed to be sincere and humble, but here we find it throwing around some pretty pretentious Latinate vocab. It would not deign to speak to a vacuum, say, at a cocktail party. Thus, it is Nature's snooty attitude that gives us something . . . Serge, the human ''serge'' engine, answers virtually any question. Please include your phone number.
