'Nature abhors a vacuum' - this was apparently first stated by the Greek physicist and philosopher Parmenides around 485BC. Others including Aristotle have been credited with using the expression. In physics it means that if you remove everything, then something has to fill the space. A vacuum is always in tension with its surroundings. That is helpful as we use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dirt.
