<h1>Something can be existent, but something cannot be nothing. Right, or wrong?</h1>  <hr> If you look at from the perspective of the vacuum of space, empty space is anything but empty. Lots of people think the big bang was an explosion of matter into empty 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> I'm thinking of 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? <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 non-existence in some cases. It's so empty of information that it breaks down into two structural levels, one of them being a reality. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQENGe89qt2pBVVZvEWEm67g6C2xqgscUAuWmrP7NxFZq/image.png <center> Thank You for Reading! </center>

The concept of pure potential as unmanifested reality is different from nothingness :) Universe expansion and increase in complexity is proof that there is always potential for growth and perfectioning, and things that were never seen before as trump would say :)

maybe something is nothing in our consciousness but it's not in other words maybe nothing is something we couldn't see. we live in a much complicated universe. there are many topics science when you dive into it I think it takes you to philosophy like your latest post about time. I realize that when I try to understand quantum physics. science and philosophy are too much connected that's why I love both. keeeeeeep writing @arckrai

I wouldn't be surprised if nothingness is just something we can't comprehend. It is something we haven't discovered yet but we know that there is possibility for something to thrive and prosper from nothing

You wrote a post about nothing! Congrats! Lol. Don't want to be offensive there, but when I find myself in this kind of thoughts, I get paranoid and I feel it is brain masturbation. But please, keep writing about the nothing and the empty. I am interested to hear how it could reflect in our existence.

Extremely interesting! I have gone through a few of your other posts too and was amazed at your perception of things and your work made me follow you :). Loved this part in this post: 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. Duality is all around us which is why labeling anything as good or bad or being sure of something seems difficult too at times.
