Nothing is everything.
#1
Nothing is everything.
Sae thinks the absence of things is the same as the sum of things.

Discuss!

RE: Nothing is everything.
1+-1= 0. Nothing is the sum of 1 and negative 1.

Can I have a cookie yet, or is it too early? Dodgy
Because I know you want me to post something, here goes:

Nothing is everything. Everything is everything. Nothing is nothing. Everything is not nothing. Everything contains nothing. Nothing contains nothing. Nothing does not contain everything. Everything is a thing. Nothing is a thing. Things exist. All things exist. Everything exists. Nothing exists.

Go nuts, someone that disagrees with all or any of this. I anticipate pages upon pages of "Yes it is" "No it's not". Smile

Under your own definition, you should have written nothing. Big Grin

For it cannot be described. .?. Wink

Nothing = 0
Thing = 1
Everything = 1 + 1 + 1...

Quote:Nothing is everything.

0 = 1 + 1 + 1...?

Quote: Everything is everything.

Sure, 1 + 1 + 1... = 1 + 1 + 1...

Quote:Nothing is nothing

Sure, 0 = 0

Quote:Everything is not nothing.

So, 0 =/= 1 + 1 + 1... BUT 1 + 1 + 1... = 0?

Law of non contradiction: VIOLATED!

Quote:Everything contains nothing.

Explain.

Quote:Nothing contains nothing.

Nothing doesn't "contain" anything, nothing is the absence of anything that could possibly be contained by anything else.

Quote:Nothing does not contain everything.

Nothing does not "contain" anything...

Quote:Everything is a thing.

Everything is the sum of all things, not a thing by it's self.

Quote:Nothing is a thing.

No it isn't. Nothing = No things = The absence of things.

Quote:Things exist. All things exist. Everything exists. Nothing exists.

With you until the "nothing exists".

I've given you more than brute disagreement, you have some serious problems with your concepts.

I don't disagree... any attempts made to describe a thing that has only existence and naught else are at best an attempt to rationalize the concept by the next best thing (ie: infinity and a very large number).

Void Wrote:Nothing = 0
Thing = 1
Everything = 1 + 1 + 1...

No, everything is one thing. The universe is one. Adding zero to this does not change it. And nothing is also a thing, so calling it zero is kinda funny really.

Void Wrote:0 = 1 + 1 + 1...?

I agree... 0= 1 + 1 + 1 +-1 +-1 +-1 ^_^

Void Wrote:So, 0 =/= 1 + 1 + 1... BUT 1 + 1 + 1... = 0?

Do you honestly dispute that nothing is everything aside from everything? Sleepy

Because that would be really funny Tiger

Void Wrote:Explain.

(Everything contains nothing)

If nothing is a thing, then everything must include it, lest it be a sum of everything save nothing. And that wouldn't be everything.

Void Wrote:Nothing doesn't "contain" anything, nothing is the absence of anything that could possibly be contained by anything else.

So tell me then, what does nothing contain? Sleepy

(Hint, the answer is 'nothing').

Void Wrote:Nothing does not "contain" anything...

Except nothing, of course.

Void Wrote:Everything is the sum of all things, not a thing by it's self.

So the sum of 6 apples is not a bushel? Sleepy

Void Wrote:No it isn't. Nothing = No things = The absence of things.

And that is a thing.

Quote:With you until the "nothing exists".

And yet, it does.

Quote:I've given you more than brute disagreement, you have some serious problems with your concepts.

That you conclude differently doesn't mean I am either incorrect or have problems with my definitions Sleepy

RE: Nothing is everything.
Im still trying to figure out what "nothing" is outside of abstract math

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

It doesn't exist, might not even be possible, certainly isn't conceivable.

Sae is letting intuitions get in the way.

Wtf?

Everything is the sum of all things, the universe is the sum of all things within a region of spacetime.

Nothing is NOT a thing, nothing is the ABSENCE of things. Literally, No Things = Zero things = 0

Void Wrote:I agree... 0= 1 + 1 + 1 +-1 +-1 +-1 ^_^

You're on crack, that's the only way I can rationalize how retarded you are some times.

This is going to go around in circles until you agree that nothing is NOT a thing.

Quote:Do you honestly dispute that nothing is everything aside from everything? Sleepy

Everything - Everything = 0. Sure.

Now can you get it into your head that "no things" = "nothing"

RE: Nothing is everything.
Im not backing Sae up 100%. Nothing definitely = no thing.

I tried to expand my view of nothing and actually got "transparent" instead. My imagination just imagined something that is see through. Nothing looked like what I was looking at during the time.

Am I the only one who has a hard time trying to explain "nothingness"? The funny thing is that I expect nothingness to be perfect peace after death. Or should I say "non-existence".

Thumbs up if you have the same conundrum as I.

RE: Nothing is everything.
You're trying to picture something with no form, it's bound to result in rough analogies.

Non existence = peace? How? Peace is a positive thing, not neutrality or nothingness.
