We advance with scientific quests,

But even zealous efforts have struck a wall

Try to do what nature hates the most:

Nothing at all.

It seems to be such a small thing to do –

Remove each molecule. We find

that although we move almost all, a few

Stay back.

You need careful and robust planning

equipment in a laboratory to make the chore

to pump the vacuum pressure down to just

A Millitor.

The faithful researcher persists and loses

Sleeping, but I can’t reach perfection – I’m afraid

The universe still stubbornly refuses

be defective.

Even in the deepest space, a cubic meter

contains particles. We have to assess

There is no vacuum, although the conditions fall

On the void.

Quantum mysteries will annoy and tired

The most brilliant spirit, the most sharp physicist.

Real nothingness, although wonderful in theory,

does not exist.
