Auto Kennedy,

Oh we know its name... Azagthoth the blind idiot god spewing forth and consuming all things around it. A god you do not want to draw nearer to, because it will absorb you. Nyarlathotep is its messenger.

My mind brushed against it once during a Nitrous Oxide breath and lo, I dipped beneath the surface of the burning sea and bravely swam down to the glowing laughing mad thing in the middle. I've never been the same since, but it did yield the coordinates of the Akashic Record.

But enough of Sumerian Lore draped in the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft.

Or, on the other hand, the train of thought I was referencing wasn't clear enough (I'll assume responsibility for the misunderstanding). I was describing the 'what' and following it with the 'where', so to speak, by way of background information. My response was intended to point out that there is no true 'nothing', that even this so-called empty vacuum itself is space curvature teeming with a sea of activity. (Science-fiction author Michael Crichton spurred my interest in subatomic realities like Wheeler foam). Nature abhors a vacuum, Aristotle believed, and it seems he was right. Even when one virtual particle is pulled into a black hole away from its pair, the remaining one, becoming a real particle, leaves a "hole" in this vacuum energy that must be filled again (drawn from the black hole itself; q.v. Hawking radiation).

The Word of God, 'There shalt not be Nothing!'

Big Bang and still bangin'.

Nothing doesn't exist. There is no such thing as nothing. Because nothing isn't any thing. It isn't some thing. It's the absence of something, the absence of anything. Nothing is to something as darkness is to light, yeah? Just as darkness isn't anything in itself, it is merely absence of light, neither is nothing yeah? It's the absence of anything! It's nothing! Right?
