Resumen
A partir del artículo de 1930 de Dirac sobre la teoría de electrones y protones, la pregunta acerca de la nada ha permeado a la comprensión correcta de la realidad, en sentido amplio, en el marco de la física. La mecánica cuántica (MC), al mismo tiempo demanda y permite una visión altamente contraintuitiva del universe y del mundo. Como quiera que sea, la Ciencia permanece aún cautelosa acerca del tema de la nada, o el vacío. Aparentemente, se ha preferido una visión referencial y objetivista del universe y de las cosas. Este artículo argumenta en favor de la nada -o el vacío- basado en las lógicas no-clásicas (LNCs) en general, y en la lógica libre, en particular. La clave del tema estriba en pensar sin presuposiciones, o también, pensar acerca de los fenómenos, sistemas y comportamientos libres de existencia y, mejor aún, de referencia.
