As much as I love math, I also love words with double "u," & this is a much more interesting word than "vacuum"
I also enjoy John Mayer :) I'm glad he used this as an album title

I haven't favorited it, but my attraction to this word is almost completely due to Star Trek.

For those who favorited the word, why?

1. Math?
2. Star Trek?
3. Like words with double "u"

Not to be confused with the continuum hypothesis, which describes the various sizes of infinite sets.
