Nature Abhors a Vacuum, and Frankly I Wouldn't Exactly Call Myself a Fan Either


Incidentally, there's a really subtle Dyson pun in the title of this post.  Like super-subtle.  Ultra-subtle.  Harder to find than the Higgs Boson. So tiny it's subject to quantum weirdness.  It's like a pun particle (known to scientists as the punon), subject to Humorberg's Uncertainty Principle ("You can either know where a pun particle is in a joke, or you can know how funny it is, but you cannot know both").

All criticism is welcome and, generally, warranted. More than that, when you write things here, it makes me feel less lonely and makes you a nicer person.
