Contrary to popular belief, nature does not abhor a vacuum.
99.9999999999999999999958% of the universe is completely empty. Give or take.
And the 0.0000000000000000000042% of the Universe which isn't empty is made of atoms – but atoms themselves are actually 99.9999999996% empty!
So everything is mostly nothing really.
When you look at it that way, it’s easy to justify eating an entire tub of ice cream.
