What is nothing?

Answer 1

Nothing is something in its own right.
People look at 'nothing' and say so because it is the absence of everything.
However, this describes the 'nothing' and therefore it is actually, something
One could say that such a thing as 'nothing' doesn't really exist.

Answer 2

Before God created the universe and made the heavens and the earth and that which we know and which we don’t, God had to do something first; he had to create the so called nothing first and made it stretches out from minus infinity to plus infinity. The Universe could not have been created before the creation of that void, that empty space, that so called nothing which you are questioning its entity. So nothing was created before any thing else in order for something be truly taking place in the vast space or the so called nothing. What really makes the mind wonder more than the magnificence of our created universe is the magnificence of that created nothing which the universe has to be placed within? Imagine before the creation of nothing, what was there? Could you possibly imagine the existence of any thing before the creation of nothing? If you truly are questioning what nothing is, then the real answer to your question is not the vast space that has no limit and which contains the universe. Nothing is that which no mind can possibly imagine its entity because how could you imagine what is not really there. When you think of the universe, or the space our universe stretched into, your mind can imagine that emptiness. But your mind can in no way imagine what is not there. Nothing isn't really the definition of the vast space that we can look at and see with our own eyes. Nothing is that which we can't possibly imagine, look at or see. The truth is that nothing fascinates the mind much more than the magnificence of the whole universe.

Answer 3

In modern physics, there is no "nothing". Empty space (that is, a perfect vacuum) inside the Universe is actually filled with the zero-point energy of all the particle fields. This is not very well understood yet, and is probably connected with the mysterious "Dark Energy" that is causing the expansion of the Universe to accelerate.

To find real "nothing", you'd have to get outside the Universe, somehow.

In Set Theory, the null set has nothing in it.

Answer 4

Nothing is that which is beyond being measurable.

In all actuality, nothing IS the foundation for anything to occur/materialize.

Imagine that nothing is the canvass for which an artist begins to paint, the sheet for which the musician composes notes, the formless clay for the sculptor, or even, the empty pot for a gourmet chef.

Without nothing, there could never be something, because nothing the the ULTIMATE, infinite, prerequisite always ready for something to spark it into being. :)

Answer 5

This belongs in the philosophy section. Nothing is the void between our ears, lol, just kidding. Nothing is a void in which there is no visible matter or energy. Theoretically, nothing doesn't exist as energy radiates throughout the universe so the definition had been narrowed to just a void where there is no visible matter. Matter doesn't occupy every nook and cranny of the universe and hence you have voids or nothingness.
