OK, technically nature abhors negentropy.  In ordinary Earth conditions,
it abhors vacuum because it implies less entropy (greater negentropy)
than would exist if there were no vacuum.

In space, there isn't enough matter to fill the vacuum, but nature
continues on maximizing entropy (minimizing negentropy) as best it can.
