AnEmptyeSpace IsAProvocation- ItDemandsToBe Filled... we have always felt this way; whether it's a pristine sheet of paper, a fresh DV tape or a blank CD. Welcome to our new new site... it's out with the old HTML, which replaced an even older FLASH site, which in turn replaced a SHOCKWAVE site - which was the bomb back in the day... and in with a new, clean PHP, CMS update - which is now (2011) 3 years old.... we're just too busy to update at the moment. And we don't just build websites, if you'd like to talk about your graphic, film, motion or interactive project then send us a line. Use the enquire link in the menu. Thanks for taking the time... more power to your elbow. |
A vacuum is a volume of space that is substansively empty of matter, so that gaseous pressure is much less than standard atmospheric pressure. The root of the word vacuum is the Latin 'vacuus' which means 'empty'. But space can never be perfectly empty. A perfect vacuum, known as 'free space', with a gas pressure of absolute zero is a philosophical concept with no physical reality, not least because quantum theory predicts that no volume of space is perfectly empty in this way. Vacuum has been a hot topic of philosophical debate since Ancient Greek times. In the 17th century Evangelista Torricelli developed theories of atmospheric pressure. In the 20th century, vacuum became a valuable industrial tool with the development of the light bulb and vacuum tube... ideas and screens! |
