Oct 21, 2024 · Nothing = something + less than nothing. "Less than nothing" is another name for gravity. Sounds like somebody's crazy theory, huh? But it is one of the amazing things that Einstein discovered that almost nobody knows about: Energy stored in the gravitational field is negative mass-energy. And yes it IS simple to understand!

Self-rejection, or nothing, is an inherent possibility or option of being which happens often with it. That also implies nothing is always partial: only when being disperses and doesn't vanish completely nothing could be a negative happening. There is no other way for nothing but in the presence of being which the nothing is nothing of.

The physicists 'nothing' is a special state called the 'vacuum state'. It certainly isn't the philosophical nothing as SteenJobs pointed out in his excellant answer. As a provocative thought one could take as two axioms: nothing comes of nothing. Nothing is easier to establish metaphysically. One then deduces that reality must be non-reality.

Oct 29, 2023 · Before big bang, there was nothing that was giving rise to particle-antiparticle pair(s), possibly for infinite time, if we insist to define time in that context. There must be nothing "outside" of our universe, in which the universe is expanding. In this sense, nothing can be considered as a kind of space.

The notion that the universe - including space and time - had a beginning is, when taken in conjunction with a restricted version of the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR), the basis of the Kalam cosmological argument: since entities do not pop into existence out of nothing (not to confuse with quantum particles popping into and out of existence from existing quantum fields, which are not ...

The word 'God' may be used for this 'Nothing' that lies beyond all diversity, but this language would be optional. It would be impossible for there to ever be a true Nothing, but the Nothing of mysticism is also Everything, Roughly speaking, Everything would be Nothing but Nothing would not be Nothing. –

Jun 6, 2016 · "Nothing" and "something" are not two separate tangible concepts, the concept of "nothing" is the absence of "something". The same thing applies to things like light. There isn't dark and light, dark is just the absence of light.

Oct 16, 2023 · Here, zero is't "nothing" zero is defined to be a set. As an analogy, we could think of zero as a folder on a computer with no files inside. Or as an empty container. In my experience, zero is never defined to be "nothing" in mathematics, thinking of zero as nothing is a strictly nonmathematical conception of 0.

Mar 15, 2017 · Given that you can only measure things, you can't measure an absence of things. Nothing is a group which has no elements, and therefore it cannot have a size (which is different from having size 0). Worst even, you cannot imagine nothing, except as an empty container. What you are precisely trying to measure is the container, not the content ...

And let's define the nothing opposite to something as NOTHING, all in uppercase, in contrast to using semantics for talking about an empty group, the regular usage for nothing. So, first, let's finally suppose you meant time (or space time) itself broader than the universe. (1) spacetime > universe. Then it doesn't matter if there is NOTHING at ...
