| Oct 7, 2022 at 2:21 | comment | added | Double Knot | Per Sartre, "nothing" means "no thing(ness)", which is brought to the world by the for-itself to fully become the being-in-the-world and is also the real origin of negation which ultimately leads to free consciousness and intellectual freedom... | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 22:41 | comment | added | Weather Vane | If, before the supposed big bang, the universe was in an equal and opposite condition, then at the moment of the big bang, it could be nothing, but only for that instant. In the same way that alternating current circuits have 0 voltage for an infinitely small instant at crossover. Nothing is either a perpetual nothing, or just a brief point in time. Quite obviously, there could not have been a steady state nothing at the "creation" of the universe. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 19:39 | comment | added | CriglCragl | In the beginning was nothing, & because it had absolutely no means to be sure what it was, it of course exploded. "This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." | |

| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:20 | comment | added | NamesLano | @BillOnne What is "empty"? What is the essence of it? The arche of "empty"? | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:17 | comment | added | BillOnne | If you do not understand "empty" then I am not going to let you drive my car. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:16 | comment | added | NamesLano | @Futilitarian Assuming that the theory is correct, precisely. But we have not yet figured out what caused these fluctuations, how, or why. The "why" part may imply teleology and purpose, which I personally think we all have and so does everything in the Universe. Everything has a reason, whether we know what it is or not. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:13 | comment | added | Futilitarian | I admit to naivety here, but a universe containing quantum fluctuations would seem to contain something more than nothing. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:11 | comment | added | NamesLano | @Futilitarian There is a popular assertion in the scientific community that The Big Bang theory started from quantum fluctuations that existed from a state of "nothingness", therefore implying that the Universe was created out of "nothingness", whatever that means to them. And I agree, we have no reason to believe that a Universe of nothing is possible, in a physical/material sense at least. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 15:08 | comment | added | Futilitarian | What makes you ask how a universe might be made out of nothing? We have no reason to believe that a universe of nothing is possible. | |
