| Posted By: Julian D Posted On: Jul 28, 2011 Views: 220 | Can there be nothing? Can there possibly be "nothing" somewhere? "Nothing", in itself, is something. And if nothing is something, then there can be no "nothing" by definition. |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Jul 28, 2011 Views: 218 | RE: RE: Can there be nothing? You are defeating your own argument. You ask if nothing can exist then define nothing as something. Make your mind up. |
| Posted By: Julian D Posted On: Jul 29, 2011 Views: 214 | RE: Can there be nothing? No, I'm just wondering weather or not people think that there can possibly be "nothing" somewhere, I'm not arguing anything. |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Jul 31, 2011 Views: 206 | RE: Can there be nothing? I will have to assume that you have decided that "nothing" can exist and it is not something. Nothing cannot exist within the universe but could possibly exist outside of it. |
| Posted By: Julian D Posted On: Feb 1, 2012 Views: 114 | RE: Can there be nothing? Yes but by saying that "nothing" can exist "outside of this universe" you are referring to it as something. "nothing" is absence of "something", but perhaps nothing cAnnot exist because by defining it we are acknowledging that it is "something". It seems contradictory to me to define "nothing" as something that exists because it is fundamentally something that does not exist, it is a void of all "somethings". |
