is nothing really everything?

Question

if you have nothing, does that not indicate that you once had something?

Answer 1

yes, nothing and everything are one in the same. it is simple to see the implication of everything in the context of nothing.

Answer 2

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.

Answer 3

No, because we all start with nothing, and then everything just hits you all at once, and then you're like, this is a bunch of crap, so then you start to go through everything, and keep somethings, and toss other things, but then you get more things, and everything piles up again.

Answer 4

no, because you don't need anything to have nothing.
For example, (this may be a little sad), if a baby wanted a rubber duck and was reaching for it, but the baby siddenly died, does that mean he got the rubber duck, before he died so he does not have it now? No, he never got the duck and he died without having it. Most of us will ever be as rich as Bill Gates and will never know what it is like to have all that money because we have never and will never have it.
See what I mean.
Hope this helps

Answer 5

yea. you can only recognize what you don't have if you've once had it before.

For example, you can't know that you're missing out on hot dogs, if you never knew they existed.

Just the same, you can't feel or know that you have nothing, if you've never had anything to compare it to. If you never had anything before, nothing is just something that was around when you were born.

Answer 6

Yes, and that you may still have it.

Answer 7

Multiplying by 0 makes things infinitely simple; dividing by 0 makes things infinitely complex.

Answer 8

You can't have nothing. Nothing describes something that is nonexistent. So you can not have something that is nonexistent in the first place.

Answer 9

I agree with the second sentence.

Answer 10

nothing, itself, is something.

to say you have nothing, is contradictory, but also, to say you have everything, is too contradictory.

because although nothing is *nothing*
it is still something, therefore it is impossible to have nothing, just as it is impossible to have everything,
