"The Nothing Equation" by Tom Godwin is a science fiction story about a man named Green, working alone in space far beyond our galaxy. He's in a small bubble-like station, watching and recording data, but the job isn't easy. Other workers before him went crazy or died, scared by some unknown presence. Green starts to feel it too – a sense of "Nothing" pressing in on him from the emptiness of space. As he spends more time alone, he begins to think the space around him is an unseen force, and that his isolation is the only thing keeping him safe. The story is about the psychological effects of being alone, the terror of the unknown, and the idea that space itself might be something to fear.
