Define 'nothing'
I'm still pondering the ultimate question: Why is there something rather than nothing. Obviously, we can ask this question only because there is something rather than nothing. But there is no reason to believe that will always be so. Somewhere or somewhen there may be nothing.
We define nothing as the absence of something - but think about it!
Event that is really something!!!
On a number line we signify it as zero and yet zero is something.
Nothing simply does not exist. It is a false conceptualization that we labor under much as our ancestors labored under the delusion that the universe revolves around the Earth.
There is only something - there is no 'nothing'.
