This whole thread leaves me torn.. Not sure if I should learn calculus and triginomotry...or just smoke a fattie. Either way could be right.

seems,Nothing from Nothing leaves Something!

There are no adequate definitions, I suspect that it is a paradox, cos when I say nothing... I imagined an entity

So let me get this right. Nothing that weighs something…yes that is correct by what quantum physics has to say.

Even though you have removed substance out of nothing that nothing still exists waiting for you to put something in to it. lol

The best way to look at nothing is at the Plank scale (the tiniest of things). Get very small so the random bursts of energy appear to be a mile apart, then shrink yourself down another million times so the random bursts of energy appear to be many miles apart. If you take a small sample of space, far smaller than the random bursts of energy, you might have nothing. This concept presupposes that the energy is inherent in our universe and does not need to cross a dimensional barrier to enter this realm.

Therefore, nothing cannot exist because the observer exists. Consciousness

Therefore, nothing cannot exist because the observer exists. Consciousness He doesn't have to be there to know it is there. That would depend on the nature of the observer. We know he couldn't 'be there' in reality on a physical level, because you can not shrink a human body down to that size, so the only way a hypothetical observer could be there is in the mind or by remote viewing. He would not be there physically at all. Only his attention would be there. So what would actually be there? What is the true nature of the observer? That is the question.

In science, there is evidence that the micro world is created by the observer. When the observer is not observing, what happens? It ceases to exist. The most astounding experiment of quantum physics in recent scientific discovery is probably the double-slit experiment. It is the experiment that shows the entire universe exists by being experienced. The Observer Creates Reality simply by Observing. Therefore, IF there is an observer, then NOTHING cannot have existence.

They say that in order to maintain an acceptable psychological integrity, A man needs empty spaces, therefore it would be better do not to ask many complicated questions

The observer creates reality. quantum fantasy, not physics... but everyone creates there own reality, so in a way, your a little right...
