Every event that a human being can think of is a reality that can happen.

Since we were born, we were "something;" we had "something." Consciousness itself is something, even in the deepest of empty spaces. Even if we were to imagine a place without anything (no energy fields, no physical laws, no particles - no mass, etc), the purely act of imagining it turns it into "something." Therefore, is "nothing" just a concept that we created from experiencing many things?

When I child looks inside a box, and there's "nothing" inside, then he/she will eventually say: "It's empty." As the article states, that's a concept that human beings are able to grasp since a young age. But physically speaking, there are many things inside the box. For all that I know, there could be dark matter inside that box!

The only possible way of really turning the theoretical side of "nothing" into reality would be to observe such an odd phenomenon, and so far it didn't happen (as far as I know).

I guess the closest that our minds can get to the concept of nothing is the creation of the Universe itself - the most accepted theory at the moment: the big bang. But even so, what proofs do we have to say that the Universe came from the nothingness? Or even better - how can something be created from nothingness? Or, just like this post says - what is "nothing?"

The meaning is deep, certainly. It's probably something that Philosophers and scientists have been looking through ages and ages, trying to find an answer for something that is long unsolved.

But that why Physics is fun, isn't it? To sit on your chair and think about something "so simple," and find out that it's something really hard to comprehend and answer...it only shows how the Universe and human nature are complex and beautiful.

That is, of course, my opinion on this matter. As a Physicist, I eager for knowledge; however, I also know that I'll die way before many of the mysteries that surrounds me gets solved.

Maybe after I die, I'll be one step closer in finding out what "nothing" really is.
