Something from Nothing

RE: Something from Nothing
(March 5, 2018 at 1:38 pm)LadyForCamus Wrote: 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.

That's the general philosophical view on "nothing."

However scientifically speaking, it is used as a comparison to something.

Space and time - the parameters which can be used to define existence, are they just terms of observation, to decribe dimensions, or are they caused by a physical power or law?

It is said that the BB created space and time.

Are space and time products of something physical...?

Thought exercises are similar to physical exercise. Not everyone is in to it.
