What is nothing?

Nothing is the absense of everything. When everything is gone, nothing is left.

So can nothing exist physically? The answer is no. If you get rid of all the heat, all the light, all the matter, all the movement ect. You still have things. Getting rid of heat leaves you with cold, ridding yourself of light yealds darkness. Having no matter leaves you with emptyness, and no movement is still ness. ((Basically all of them combined is a lack of energy, except perhaps matter... )) anyway... theere is also time. I have no idea how you can get ride of it because even nothing can be marked by time.

Can you find nothing or have nothing? Yes. Now this does not contradict the above paragraph for the simple fact that nothing EXISTS as an IDEA, and an idea is not a physical object. Nothing is an idea that describes something that does not exist.

So what is true nothing? The answer is I have no earthly or unearthly clue. Because true nothing cannot exist, there for we cannot think of it, cannot speak of it, cannot even imagine it because true nothing never has and never will exist in any way what so ever. Because if it does it ceices to be nothing and becomes something.

Well, I hope that is not too wordy for you all.

Um, Thank you.... sweatdrop

Do you have your own opinion on nothing... or do you like mine?

I guess so... I just like asking people the question... I get a lot of people that say... "umm.... .... ... Nothing... is nothing..." They know what it is but cannot tell me for some reason.

Nothing is relative
to some people it can = 0
to some people it can mean everything

I agree that nothing is the absence of everything. While I would agree that it can't be accomplished, I would like to propose a scenario. If empty space was cooled down to absolute zero, could it be considered nothing? There would be no heat, no matter, no energy, and no movement. Could time be said to stop for that part of space?

Nothing is a word that humans made up because they are bored...

There really can never be nothing, only humans think of nothing. When we say,"there is nothing in that container" if you get down to it there is air, bacteria, dust, and a ton of other little organisms inside that container. Some one calls you up and asks you what you're doing and you say nothing it's not true. You are either laying or sitting or standing or something, you are breathing, blood is flowing, you probably blink once or twice.

There is never nothing holy cows that is such a bad double negative xd
