This book uses the history of the vacuum to show how technical concepts in physics are made real through everyday practice. It provides new insight into the development of twentieth-century theoretical physics through sustained analysis of understudied figures including John Wheeler's geometrodynamics and Sidney Coleman's false vacuum. Across decades and across disciplines, this work shows how physicists over and again chose to study the vacuum for insight into the world around them.
