Is it possible to think about nothing?

Answer 1

Not exactly. When you are thinking about nothing, you are literally think about the literal term nothing...if you get what I mean.

Answer 2

Not in the active sense of the word "thinking", no, others have brought that contradiction up.

But....it is possible to veg out I think. People can and do space out, dissociate, mentally "go buh-byes", and just....I don't know, shut down? *lol* I know I've done it before, but that is about it. ^_^ As in I just sorta blank out for 15 minutes or an hour, something, and it usually happens when I am stressed out, and then after that I "wake up" and it startles me, that I was just, um, *gone* and not really doing or even thinking of *anything*....

I think that is about as close as we get, at least when we are awake. Sleep is a whole 'nother story.....

Hope this helps....good Question! ^_^

Answer 3

Yes, as someone very interested in Astronomy and the universe, I find myself thinking a lot about nothing.

What was there before the Big Bang?

What is the universe expanding into?

Of course, in both those cases, the laws of physics and science break down (no time, no space, no matter) so the answers is unknowable. I know that, but I still find myself thinking about it a lot. . .
