Is Nothing Something?

Answer 1

nothing always will be something in your mind...the very definition of nothingness already gives nothingness form and it is something. Absence of things cannot be comprehanded unless experienced there is no such a things as nothing in our realities, for human mind making something from that which is seemingly would be nothing. That imply a concept that everything we perceive is an illusion and does not exist in truth.True nothingnes would question existence of space and time, try to imagine that without Shrink's involvement.

Answer 2

Nothing is nonexistence. Nothing is a state of being. In a sense, it is the state of not being, of ceasing to exist. Nothing is the lack or absence of anything (including empty area or a vacuum). From a philosophical point of view, the concept of "nothing" can have many interpretations. In fact, one can even say that nothing does not exist. One cannot sense, see, feel, or think nothing. There is no contact with nothing. Nothing is where everything isn't. Visualizing "nothing" would make "something". It could be seen as a physical void or as just a word which only has meaning when used to describe a relationship between different "somethings". A single "correct" definition of nothing could be considered impossible, since "right" and "wrong" do not fit within the confines of nothing.

The concept of "nothing" has been studied throughout history by philosophers and theologians; many have found that careful consideration of the notion can easily lead to the logical fallacy of reification. The understanding of "nothing" varies widely between cultures, especially between Western and Eastern cultures and philosophical traditions. For instance, nothing is considered a state of mind in Buddhism (See nirvana, Mu, Enlightenment). Existentialism and Heidegger have brought these two understandings closer together

Answer 3

Yes, sort of, because that's what the whole universe originated from if you go back far enough. Everything originated during or after the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang there was Nothing. So what banged? Something must have banged. But all there was was Nothing. So Nothing can be Something at least to the extent that we can get a bang out of it.

Answer 4

technically nothing is the absence of something...but since you can name something as nothing that does make it a thing doesn't it?

Answer 5

Depends on what the nothing is and depends on what the something is

Answer 6

no thing is some thing and some thing can essentially be no thing so can nothing be something.....depends if you have ever had less than nothing and your opinon of what something and nothing can be or not

Answer 7

nothing could mean it's something that we don't define as being there, though it might be. for example, we say that in the universe there's the "nothing", but in truth there's denser particles we can't readily explain yet.

Answer 8

i believe it is. i like to have a good relationship with mr. nowhere man. he follows me around and makes me feel that I'm always forgetting something, i don't know what. like that feeling when you cant find your car keys. i believe its very healthy to be aware of nothing as something.

Answer 9

But most existentialist claim something is nothing.
