I had a random though a few weeks ago. What is nothing? Most dictonaries state it as: The absense of something, or some variation of that. But, when you start thinking about it cant there ever be nothing of something? Because in the grand scheme of everything, there will alway be molicules of the remains of dinosours, or, if something hasn't been invented yet, the marterials to make the object. Even in space there isn't nothing, there are gasses and particules. Does that mean that there's alway something of everything?
Just a thought^^.

The way you look at it, you're right.
But, if you look at it as if I used up all the milk for my bowl of cereal: Therefore, there is nothing left.
Nothing=Nothing
I hope this made sense.

"Matter can never be created nor destroyed"
Some synopsis of some rule that some old dead guy said, but if you really think about it, A dinosaur could have died and become part of the ground and eventually disingrates into the water and then you drink the water and you body absorbs those dinosaur molecule things and then your body does what it needs and excretes the leftovers in the cycle repeats in some format, so................... dramallama

I was the fastest sperm "Matter can never be created nor destroyed" Some synopsis of some rule that some old dead guy said, but if you really think about it, A dinosaur could have died and become part of the ground and eventually disingrates into the water and then you drink the water and you body absorbs those dinosaur molecule things and then your body does what it needs and excretes the leftovers in the cycle repeats in some format, so................... dramallama Conservation of matter biggrin I agree with you. It's like in that anime - "Fullmetal Alchemist." The main character once said, "We're nothing but a very tiny and insignificant part of this world. We're born, we live, we die, and we get decomposed. This cycle goes on irregardless." Even in chemical reactions with chemical changes. If you have hydrogen and chlorine, add them together, and you get hydrochloric acid, both your elements have become a part of a new substance, but they're not gone.

If there is no reason for anything to exist, than does the fact that things do exist prove that nothng cannot exist?

yes you are right. even when we're all like "what's going on?" "nothing" there's always something, it's just not interesting enough to mention

Stronghearted11 yes you are right. even when we're all like "what's going on?" "nothing" there's always something, it's just not interesting enough to mention Yes or what is going on is the absence of action, and therefore in humanities book that is nothing because no product is happening, sitting motionless and not thinking or continueing is in the english slang, nothing.
Nothing is a paradox, the rest is philosophical.

I was talking about no more milk in the milk jug, and the item is milk, not air.

I've had a weird thought about 'nothing'.
Simply by naming an absence of something 'nothing', aren't we defining nothing as something?

I see it as we have to define "nothing" as something for it to have a true meaning, and understanding.
If we didn't define nothing then it wouldn't have any meaning, and I could say I ate a burger that was nothing, and you wouldn't know what I meant by nothing.
and my definition of nothing in that sentence was delicious.

This is fun~~
Everything is nothing is everything. That pretty much sums it up. There's just no such thing as nothing. Because the nothing beyond the everything is another everything with it's own nothings. Kind of like the puzzle I entertain myself with ... it's kind of relevant ...
Q. What is the one thing that someone who knows everything doesn't know?
A. Nothing.
Nothing is what the person doesn't know. But if the person doesn't know this "nothing" than they don't know everything! It's a direct connection. 3nodding So very confusing.
