Nothing and Nothingness: Toward an Apophatic Science

“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 apophatics: 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. **Gustavo and Rodney produce a weekly podcast entitled "Entering the Nihiliverse". Each week they break down a new section of the book to help readers further their understanding of what Nihilology can do to better one's scientific, philosophical or theological worldview.

NOTABLE REVIEWS

"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. Director of the Center for Science Writings and author of The Mind Body Problems

"Nothing is audacious. The writing style is quirky, insistent, and consciously un- (or even anti-) academic."
-Steven Youra, PhD Director (ret.) Caltech Writing Center

"An antidote to glib popular science in which siloed thinking is used to create the illusion that a more philosophically rich understanding is not necessary."
-Wendell Wallach. Scholar at Yale University and author of the forthcoming book Descartes Meets Buddha
