Horror Vacui
Aristotle is credited with coming up with the physics principle of Horror Vacui, or Nature Abhors a Vacuum. Well, as a dad who adores a good pun, I couldn’t possibly let such strong material pass me by (even if it’s so esoteric that the audience for it is, like, five folks in lab coats).
So, leaning heavily into a vintage children’s book vibe, I made a picture of nature abhorring a vacuum!
I also put it on t-shirts, stickers, and other assorted chachkies over on my Threadless merch shop. Now you, too, can make your family say, “What does that mean?” (Unless your family is the five folks in lab coats I’m aiming to make chuckle.)
