Quote:
“Nothing is unstable,” Frank Wilczek, a physicist and Nobel laureate from MIT, finally said to a general murmur of agreement of his colleagues on stage, John Barrow of Cambridge University in England, Paul Davies of Arizona State and George Ellis of the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
Given a chance, nature will make nothingness boil with activity.


No doubt this sort of "nothing", which seems to include "nature", does not confuse physicists. Could it be that we non-physicicts are just pedantic, or easily confused?

There never was nothing.
