What is Nothing?

[The Hammer]

What is nothing?

The actual state of there being "no things"

No matter where or how hard we look, there is always something, rather than nothing.

 

[osgart]

This guy says it best for me. There's 7 categories of nothing according to Mr. Kuhn.

 

[Jimmy]

Nothing, is incapable of existence.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Nothing is so real, it makes reality look like a dream.

Yet some claim they have nothing. How can one have what doesn't exist?

 

[osgart]

To me eternal something is the simplist condition. Absolute nothing can't bootstrap anything into existence.

The greater mystery is how something that didn't exist before come into existence.

Isn't a void noting? He mentions between the galaxies, there are still a few particles per cubic meter. What about the space between those particles? Isn't that nothing?

Why would you assume something that didn't exist before came into existence?

 

[Twilight Hue]

This is nothing....

Before my birth, I did not exist. Something entirely new forms from all that is. A condition is met and life arises again.

That's why he mentions virtual particles that pop in and out of existence even in those smaller spaces, thanks to quantum mechanics/theory.

Yeah; but virtual particles don't exist. But even if they did, when they pop out of existence, isn't that space they previously occupied nothing?

Isn't space more like a container of things, and empty space is never really empty?

Take away space and time and you get scattering amplitudes, and deeper structures like the amplituhedron and decorated permutations.

An endless rabbit hole of things awaits.

Spacetime is not fundamental | Donald D. Hoffman

Since at least Einstein we have seen spacetime as fundamental. But modern physics, from quantum field theory to gravity, now suggests spacetime is doomed. So, what lies beyond spacetime? We, ourselves, might be part of the answer, writes Donald D. Hoffman.

I'm not familiar with any scientific theory that supports such a claim

There's an event horizon on how small or large we can go, so it looks like nothing is there.

I think the micro and macro dimensions beyond the horizon are as infinite as space itself , and is just as intricate as the things we can see.

Well nevermind the container. Space I've read is never really empty; it has fields like electromagnetic and Higgs fields.

Nothing. It is the impossible.

Nothing only means lacking what one requires, needs or wants. There is always something.
