What would there be if there was NOTHING?

Question

I mean, what if there were no planets, no air, no space, no light, no dark. What would there be if litterally nothing existed. This was has had me pondering for years. What is your opinion on it?

Answer 1

Absolute nothing always ends up being something so I have no clue. If you were in nothing it would be space so it would be something. Where would the nothing exist? Would the nothing be contained within something? If so then that means it would be something.

Answer 2

If you think about it long enough, you come to the realization that "nothing" is what we mostly live with and work with every day of our lives.

A clarinet doesn't make its music by its outer shape or its color or the material it's made from. The sound comes from the shape of the "nothing" that the rest defines within itself. The same sound could come out of a six foot by six foot by six foot steel cube as long as the inner "nothing", the sound tunnel, was the same.

As another example, you can imagine an office. The office is made up of walls and floors and ceilings that define the emptiness within. It's the space within that defined nothing that does the work, not the walls etc.

Most of our lives are spent defining and walling in emptiness. To answer your question one could simply say it would be more of the same only to a far greater degree. Using "nothing" to define the nothingness would be like the ultimate godly power. To see and create literally anything and everything without having to use reality to do so....

Answer 3

For one thing there would be a LOT more room. It wouldn't be so crowded with cars and buses and trains and planes and cruise ships trying to get everyone there and back, so they could take pictures of it. And there wouldn't be a lot of tourist traps and souvenir shops trying to sell key rings and coffee cups and t-shirts and junk so you give them away to family and Friends to show what you saw there, because you didn't see anything. And there wouldn't be cigarette butts and candy wrappers and stuff all overt the place from the inconsiderate people who came to visit, because they'd stay home. And there wouldn't be any TV or movies or songs or books about it, so we wouldn't need paper or music instruments or theaters or video stores or paparazzi or libraries or reporters. And we wouldn't have to have a lot of analysts and shrinks to tell us what it means or tell us how to cope, and drugs and alcohol to get us through. Yup, I can see we would definitely have a lot more space, but what would we do with it if we weren't there to know it was available? It would probably be pretty much a waste, like it is now, but wasted on nothing instead of something.

Answer 4

Well, if time is a coefficient of matter

and you have removed all matter

then there is to time. Which doesn't matter because there is nothing for time to effect.

In your thought experiment, you have gone back to before that moment when God started creation. (Of course, you always have God. That's the one single aspect that makes everything else possible.)

Answer 5

It is impossible for there to be nothing......because to even use the word nothing you would of had to of been something to become nothing.

If there truely were nothing......you couldn't be asking the question. Thus, this is impossible question to ask

Answer 6

Void

Answer 7

My opinion is that there would definitely be cheese puffs, but nothing else. Oh, and these cheese puffs would be gone too, because they are sooo tasty.

Answer 8

Nada and nil there would be
If there was nothing, you see.
But nada and nil will never exist
Universes creating universes will always persist.
It's the law.

Answer 9

well, i guess there would be infinitely nothing.

since the human mind can neither fully comprehend infinity or absolute nothingness...it's just too much to take in.

Answer 10

Then there would be nothing...

I don't know, is it really something the human brain can fully comprehend?
