Something from Nothing
#46
RE: Something from Nothing
And to answer your OP: no, I don’t believe ‘nothing’ is a logical possibility. Nothing cannot be any kind of thing, by its very definition. “Nothing” cannot exist in contrast to “something”. When people say “something from nothing”, they’re really saying “something from something else.” I think reality, whatever it is, has always existed and always will, because there is no logical alternative.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
