Everytime I think of "nothing", all I can get is blackness. But blackness is something.
Outside of algebraic terminology, how can the human mind actually grasp "nothing" without comparing it to something? The human mind loves to compare things.
I don't think that it can. The reality of nothing is foreign and difficult to understand (I mean, what's to understand?)... the closest I can come to explain it myself is a void beyond the veil of spacetime. Which makes it all the harder to understand, since there isn't even a location to describe it past "outside". :S
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
