Before there was nothing, is nothing something?

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

the void is the universe where there is no matter or mass.

this is the only possible physical deffinition of "nothing".

[MudFu]

I still can not see how you can define nothing. To have truly nothing is impossible...but then again so are a lot of things...

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

lol yeah, true nothing cannot be defined with anything more than "lacking something/anything".

[beachguy in thongs]

Nothing can also be defined as, "I will smoke weed until the day I die. The Law means nothing to me."

[MudFu]

Well is that kind of nothing the same and nothing before anything?

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

a way nothing can be something:

nothing is an infinite void of nothingness, no matter, no anything...

it is something in the respect that it is infinite blackness.

[beachguy in thongs]

But, black is black. Black is not nothing. Without anything, is forgotten. But for everything, we're forgiven. :stoned:

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

ah, yes, but you see, you have to think of it as a new born infant would; they do not know it is "black", to them it is literally nothing at all, no thought to associate with it.

[MudFu]

So your saying nothing is truely nothing until you make it something? So truly nothing is impossible to have if you try to reason what nothing is...

yup. without thought there is only nothing. no matter what things there are, you have no thoughts to associate with them, therefore they are nothing.
