How Does Something Come From Nothing? 📦
<h1> Is It Possible For Something To Come From Nothing? </h1>

<hr>
If we were to look at from the perspective of the vacuum of space, space is anything but empty. Lots of people think the big bang was an explosion of matter into space when the prevailing science says it was a rapid expansion of space itself. If we want to look at nothing, we may need to go back in time to before the big bang. Maybe nothing is what sows the seeds to enable something to occur.

<h3> The Scenario I Am Imagining </h3>

The thing I'm thinking of is that we have a box, let's say one meter cubed for example's sake, which has walls that are impermeable to everything, even gravity waves. Somehow we remove all the atoms from inside that box and even manage to suppress the production of particle/antiparticle pairs inside the box as well. I think the contents of that box would be as close to being 'nothing' as could be. However, could you define that nothingness as something?

<h3> According to Google </h3>

Something is:

1 -a thing that is unspecified or unknown.

2 - used in various expressions indicating that a description or amount being stated is not exact.

As you can see it is defined as something unknown and that is unspecified so if we are well aware of the contents of the box that would be nothing right? It is pretty confusing to think about, but I guess this is one of the problems with the definition.

<h3> Thoughts </h3>

However if you think about it talking about terms like these is meaningless, except to show where our reason fails to draw any significant conclusions.

Both nothing and something exists due to the fact they are opposites and contrasts of each other. Life and death, one exists for the other to make sense. Perception exists to contrast no-perception. We live in a world of duality which makes thing harder to explain something when a condition is possible to one or the other at the same time.

Where or not "nothing is something" depends very much on the precise meaning attached to each word. Depending on the definitions chosen, the statement 'nothing is something' can be true or false. I guess this grey area is where most of our logic and reasoning goes down the drain.

The state of nothingness is a kind of meta-paradox. On the one hand, it's completely vacant of information and binding ontological constraint, while on the other hand doesn't even have a true nature that one could implicate in a meaningful contradiction for that very reason. Nothingness could just be nonexistence in some cases. It's so empty of information that it breaks down into two structural levels, one of them being a reality.

Brilliant thoughts,  but I believe space is not vacuum it's filled with dark matter. 
 It's all about your energy thoughts.

Existence comes from non-existence. Everything is made out of nothing so nothing is everything. Isn't it called non duality?

the Aether is the womb or everything, giving birth to Light... which in turn gives birth to Matter

The Aether is a absolutely neutral energy. Nothingness does not exist. Cosmos is not a vacuum but filled with electric fields/plasma

Great post man, I like it! :)
Few points, there is no time before the big bang, time created with space. And the expansion of the "space itself" is not right (the universe does expand just not the way you think it does).  Sorry to be a bummer :P

Here is a podcast with a cosmologist who explains some of those Ideas :

the big bang theory is falling apart... just as most of mainstream physics, Newton, Einstein will be soon buried for good as the Electric Universe Theory is slowly but surely taking over and well documented on YT

will listen to video later today though

I have to admit, I had to read it twice to follow the reasoning...
Interesting, but nothing and something are both present in eachother... It's never black or white, always a little bit gray or dark gray...

Personally, I can't fathom the idea of nothingness in my small mind. Apparently, science would back me up in that there is no such thing as nothingness. All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are 99.99999999% empty space. However, even this empty space is not really empty according to science. It is made up of quark and gluon field fluctuation. In other words, all matter and anti-matter is simply just energy in one form or another.

Energy can never be created or destroyed. Einstein proved this in his general theory of relativity and e=mc2. Therefore we are all Source energy manifesting itself through the created dimensions of space and time in various forms as material existence. We, and all things material, are energy appearing in form, a projected illusion of the conscience mind. This source energy is what the Christian tradition might call God. Science refers to it as singularity. This original source energy, singularity, or spirit is true essence and this true essence is in and through each and every one of us. It is us and we are it.

If there is a nothingness, this is it! And it is the most wonderful nothingness that ever existed!
