However, the necessity for a void (or vacuum) between the atoms raised new questions that could not be easily answered.
Late last month, the company's chief financial officer, Thomas M. Schoewe, said private-label growth meant that Wal-Mart was listening "to customers for a void".
0 stands for unity, for a void undifferentiated in space and time. 1 stands for an initial act of differentiation: the division of light from darkness, for example, or of black from white, male from female, nature from culture, left from right.
Thinking back on it, though, I'm surprised to find that it's something quieter and smarter that persists: the tenuousness of Pine's grip on moral clarity, and the constant sense that his charm may be a mask for a void every bit as deep as Roper's own.
Calculations are also carried out for a void at the interface between two grains to simulate polycrystalline response.
These values are in the range expected for a void in a static equilibrium, and practically coincide with the initial void dimensions measured in glassy polymers stretched under monotonic loading.
