Horror vacui (physics)

ID: horror-vacui-physics

In physics, "horror vacui" is a term derived from Latin, meaning "fear of empty space." It refers to the idea that nature abhors a vacuum or empty space, suggesting that a void will not exist indefinitely and will be filled by matter or energy. This concept was historically significant in the development of various scientific theories, particularly in the context of fluid dynamics and the behavior of gases.
