"Consolidate all your observations and distill them into the most concise, mathematically elegant set of statements you can that are both internally consistent and useful for making predictions or generalizations about the behavior of the system of interest. But leave philosophy to the philosophers"

That statement satisfies all its stated ideals.

‘It costs billions to take a close look at nothing.’ ... As is typical, these folks have offered a false ‘title’, because virtual is something, even at quantum mechanical level, so they haven’t ever actually focused upon nothing or nothingness. I suppose it was to be expected, since the human mind cannot possibly conceive of nothing ... even zero is something.
