If it were then it would to be able to give a description of "it".

But when people say "nothing is something", that is false because we cannot be sure what nothing is, for we have never experienced nothing. When you try to think of absolutely nothing, is that nothing? Why is considered a noun and not a verb? Because you simply cannot be doing NOTHING. We are living, breathing, blinking, and our hearts are beating. So when you are dead is there nothing? Not for your corpse, because your corpse is lying in the coffin, or your ashes are somewhere. But mentally, nothing comes back to religion and what happens after death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644420622295255358.post-32449918377902954612008-11-21T14:54:00.000-08:002008-11-21T14:54:00.000-08:00why there is something and not nothing?why there is something and not nothing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644420622295255358.post-14542618309095138612008-08-01T09:29:00.000-07:002008-08-01T09:29:00.000-07:00Have you read the quote by Charles Pierce on nothi...Have you read the quote by Charles Pierce on nothing.com? It refers to the "pure nothing" as being boundless because it has no restrictions, being it cannot be restricted because it comes before anything and everything comes from it.<BR/><BR/>Once nothing is defined, it can no longer be nothing, because it's become something and therefore, no longer nothing.<BR/><BR/>I'd think that everything, was once nothing.UNdesireablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206280850136669437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644420622295255358.post-5147498850559112642008-07-15T22:19:00.000-07:002008-07-15T22:19:00.000-07:00thought i'd drop by and see what was up and there ...thought i'd drop by and see what was up and there is nothing new... now isn't that something.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768563138849587357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644420622295255358.post-15918213165061982742008-07-08T21:56:00.000-07:002008-07-08T21:56:00.000-07:00dan,I thoroughly enjoyed how you over-thought your...dan,<BR/><BR/>I thoroughly enjoyed how you over-thought your comment about thinking about nothing. However, that is just one way to think of nothing. Another way is to fully comprehend the total void that "is" nothing.<BR/><BR/>But to prove that both of these can be accomplished with a little "you know what" in the brain department, I shall make reference to my May 29 2007 post entitled "Q&A Your first "encounter" with nothing".<BR/><BR/>http://xymyl.blogspot.com/2007/05/q-your-first-encounter-with-nothing.html<BR/><BR/>But to answer your question directly by twisting your words, yes! I think you'd remember nothing, at least in the sense that you wouldn't remember whether you actually thought of nothing or not.<BR/><BR/>I know that doesn't really answer your question, but the post I mentioned does tell you that it's feasible.Xymylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564794239633691268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644420622295255358.post-49303117440256609602008-07-08T20:22:00.000-07:002008-07-08T20:22:00.000-07:00to think of nothing creates a delima since to thin...to think of nothing creates a delima since to think of nothing is to have no thoughts thinkable and thus if i truly thought of nothing would i have any recolection of those thoughts so as to know whether or not i achieved thinking nothing?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768563138849587357noreply@blogger.com
