Is nothing something?

Answer 1

Nothing is the proof that something exists.

We cannot sensibly describe nothing....but we can acknowledge something because it is clearly not nothing.

Answer 2

No! and the question cannot even be framed that way in order to make semantic sense. Still it's a very profound question. I feel all that is real slipping away and I'm staring into the utter abyss when even thinking about 'nothing'. Even the complete coldness and darkness of outer space has more substance than 'nothing'
when we say in common speech ' nothing is wrong' or 'nothing happened', this is a superficial nothingness- it just means 'no significant thing' Nothing is the ultimate void beyond all comprehension or construction. It is the negation of negations to the power of infinity. So 'nothing' is not merely not 'something', it is as the ghost of a dream in the mind of a non-existent phantom. It is the ultimate deficiency of all things, the absolute of all zeroes

Answer 3

The answer to this question is yes and no. I believe that the TV show 'Seinfeld' showed us a pretty good example that nothing can be something. This show showed us that nothing can be a series of life events. Let's define the word 'nothing': "something that is nonexistent; something or someone of no importance or significance; something that is without quantity or magnitude" and now to take a look at the word "something": "a certain undetermined or unspecified thing; that is unknown, unspecified, or forgotten". Do you see the similarities because therein lies your answer.

Answer 4

yes. just because it is not physically and intrinsically ' out there' and exists in front our very eyes, doesn't automatically mean it hardly exists. what one might consider as being nothing, another can consider as something. besides, let's analyse it from a different context: if someone told you to your face you are worthless, hopeless, of no use to anyone and will amount to nothing later on in life, you'd accept it for all its worth. WRONG. you just don't. you are not nothing, you are something. you are a human being, you mean something to your friends and family.

nothing is most definitely something. because for it not to exist, it is only then that people assume that there is no such thing. but if we think about this more deeply, nothing is something because nothing does stand for something and it stands for nowt. and generally, it is that nothing is interpreted in a way that's to say its not there; its non-existent, meaningless, pure nothingness and that IS something

Answer 5

Of course it is. For example: If you are thinking about something and somebody asks you, most people reply nothing and there was really something there!!!
Also if you look into an empty box it may look like there is nothing there but in reality there is........air.
Nothing is always something!!!

Answer 6

Everything is nothing until it has been experienced by something.
Nothing is a concept far beyond the understanding of human beings, and understandably so. We have experienced "something" We have not experienced "nothing"

Answer 7

Of course it is. Nothing is a concept, just like everything is a concept or love is a concept. And like all of those, it's subjective. Might literally be a void of matter, or it might be something not physically there. But it is something.

Answer 8

In the absence of something there is nothing, in the absence of nothing there is something. Neither could exist without each other. Nothing and something coexist.

Edit: No(thing) and Some(thing).

Answer 9

As in the old expression:
there`s always something in nothing ?

Answer 10

Apart from being a meaning, no, not really. One could suggest that it is a level of reality, but reality implies existence. On the other hand, you cannot say that nothing is a reality of non-existence, because you give substance to that which isn't.

Nothing simply " isn't " .
