Nature abhors a vacuum.

Summary

This quote is often attributed to the philosopher Aristotle. It suggests that in nature, empty spaces or voids are not sustainable and will be quickly filled.

This idea can be applied to various contexts, including the physical world as well as human behavior or social dynamics, highlighting the tendency for nature to seek equilibrium or completeness.
