Coitus can scarcely be said to take place in a vacuum; although of itself it appears a biological and physical activity, it is set so deeply within the larger context of human affairs that it serves as a charged microcosm of the variety of attitudes and values to which culture subscribes.

Mcgregor Scott
The cosmological constant was a vacuum energy (the energy of empty space) that kept gravity from pulling the universe in on itself, ...
