/sci/ - Science & Math

Lawrence Krauss was recently under fire from some philosopher prof. at Columbia university (he also happens to be a PhD in theo phys)... Krauss Described him as a moronic philosopher because this guy described Krauss's book title as misleading. The title is "something from nothing"... Do you believe this to be misleading? Krauss seems to assume that nothing is fundamentally a thing in some sense... in that fields are presupposed to exist... the philosopher guy completely disagrees with his use of the word nothing.

TL;DR;
What's your opinion on the concept of "nothing" /sci?
