TO ALL: Remember what Socrates said: "The TRUE test of knowledge is knowing that you know nothing!"

Mate0, I agree that there is only one (1) meaning for the word "nothing". That meaning is "Zero (0). But I take exception to your statement that, "the current laws of physics were created then,"; actually only OUR current laws of physics were created then. This universe is our...

Dabayman, Of course I don't know; but when something comes to a halt, gradually, it looses its kinetic energy, gradually and doesn't "want to keep going". Inertia isn't an issue. So there [PROBABLY] wouldn't be a 'jerk'. If there were, it might only be a...

You hit the nail on the head. Humans are very good at doing that. The best [I can think of at the moment] example of such a label is the word "Infinite". Actually, when you really stop to think about it, there is NO such 'thing' as Infinite. "Infinite" is just a word meaning: "I've...

Contrary to 'popular' belief, "SPACE" is not expanding! So, "How", you ask, "can the Universe expand if 'space' is not?" The answer is simple, so simple that most, if all, miss it. Since the Universe is 'everything', that is everything finite, everything else is 'nothing'. So here...
