Who can understand - 'stand under' - the 'ground of Being'? "Nothing" is this ground. I admire the courage of this person who is asking about "nothing"! While this thread is still open, let us explore the one unknown which words can never de_fine! Einstein started on this path - did he...

"Nothing" is no thing, and so cannot be described. Stable or unstable terms apply to things. Physicists, like religionists and people in every human pursuit are intent on describing, measuring, and defining. "Nothing" defies these efforts. Yet, every thing is surrounded by and...

Thanks for helping me with this stone soup. All I brought was this stone, and look at all the flavors we've added together! Maybe you skeptics believe there is more substance to things than has been proven. I wouldn't quibble over a % or 2. Say things are only 98% empty space... still, that's...

Thank you, Algr. Perhaps the qualities you mention have to do more with matter as observed within the nothingness and with the observer than with nothingness. As long as there is some description, one is describing something. With no thing to describe, description is impossible. Perhaps human...

Because of the proportionately huge spaces between the wave-particles in the atom, we accept that 99.9% of any object is empty space. If I understand this at all, the 'empty space' to which this refers is nothing, i.e. not a thing. Of course we would like to describe or quantify 'empty...
