Niets
Wat is 'niets'? Wat blijft er over als je alle materie weghaalt? Kan leegte bestaan? Dit 'Elementaire Deeltje' verkent de wetenschap en de geschiedenis van begrippen als leegte, ruimte en vacuüm: van Aristoteles die volhield dat het vacuüm niet mogelijk was, via theorieën van Newton en Einstein, naar onze laatste ontdekkingen in deeltjesversnellers. Het laat zien dat vacuüm helemaal niet leeg is, dat het vol is met deeltjes die spontaan ontstaan, wat aanwijzingen oplevert over hoe het heelal is ontstaan. Zou er niets bestaan als er niemand is om het waar te nemen? Waar kwam alles vandaan? Wat ligt er buiten het heelal? Frank Close behandelt deze en andere fascinerende vragen op een levendige en aansprekende wijze. Elementaire Deeltjes: grootse onderwerpen in zakformaat.
