Try to speculate nothing.

I don't think we can.. as in it isn't possible for there to be nothing. Or if there is a way to be nothing, then we can't comprehend it.

Think about this:

Lets say the world and the entire universe is deleted, you and everything else is gone. How can this be? How can there be nothing?

There would be nothing to contain anything, but if there was something to be contained, then there wouldn't be nothing..

What I am trying to say is, how can nothing exist? Just absolutely nothing within the plane of the universe and everywhere?

Also when I say nothing, I mean no time either. When I say nothing, I mean absolutely nothing at all. No light, no color, no matter, no time, no gravity, no anything.

just an abstract topic I thought would be fun to discuss.

Once I was randomly chopping a sentence into parts (for a game) and I ended up with "There is nothing"

Nothing can't exist.

Nothing does not "exist". It's a gap between things that do exist. You cannot see "nothing", because something being "nothing" would imply that "something" is nonexistant. So say there is object A, and object B. In between object A and object B, is nothing, or void if you will.

To us, we would see object A and object B right next to eachother.

So, for all we know, nearly everything has a bit of nothing in it. We just don't notice it.

This is exactly what my point is. Of course there can be nothing, but we can't comprehend it.

Because if we could comprehend it, that means that what we are comprehending isn't nothing.

Those in the CS field can comprehend nothing. In many languages it's null(Java), in some it's simply Nothing(VB.net). This is even taking into account an absence of the non-tangible.

You don't get a "nothing" in C++ Sad

Sad

. Example:

int *i = NULL;

well, i is pointing to 0x000000 so it is pointing to something, which can't be nothing, since that address is taken. You need to define nothing a bit better because what about:

"if there is nothing in the box, there must be something, because there is nothing." Since we treat "nothing" an object, it must be something and that something is what we describe as nothing.

I suppose if you were to delve that deep, then there is something containing the nothing.

Well, try to imagine that nothing existed. Absolutely nothing at all. It can't just be blank white space, because space is something, as well as the shade of White.

It can't just be a ringing sound because a sound is something.

I guess you could think of it like this:

Our world.. or our universe is like a drawing on paper. It started out as a blank sheet which was as close to "nothing" as it can get. Than it was drawn onto that "nothing."

Although that "nothing" implies that something was existing for there to be something. The space for creation to take place..

..my brain thing hurts..

Now that I think of it, the closest thing to 'nothing' that humanity can easily find, is the sales of Kevin Federline's album.
