Can you explain more?
How can true nothingness 'exist'? Ignoring the semantics issue of even saying that, how long could a state of nothingness last with no time? No time at all, I'd say. And it seems like there are an infinite number of possible other states than nothingness, but only one way for there to not be anything. And what property of nothingness would prevent there being something, if the only property of nothingness is the absence of anything, including other properties? Absolute nothingness: no matter, energy, space, time, or vacuum fluctuations seems like the most unlikely possible state of affairs to prevail.
Yeah. The concept of "nothingness" is sorta..well, inconceivable. It's not an idea that I can coherently hold in my head because its definitions are so nonsensical. And how can nothingness 'exist', if existence is a property of something?
