Nothing is impossible .. if there was nothing, there would be nothing to contemplate it. I agree that '0' is the only infinite number .. but the '0' itself is something, so it disallows nothing.Before the theoretical 'Big Bang' there was the theoretical tiny point of everything (the singularity.) However, the Cosmic Background Radiation has proven to be heat from dust . . and the CMB was the 'proving factor' of Big Bang .. so .. Big Bang appears dead.
What is nothing?
when most people think of nothing they consider nothing, no light, no mass, no time and no space.
so how can we define this in geometrical terms?
However , what if we were to view nothing, as there is nothing there within a space, such like a void and emptiness?
So I propose we could define the absolute of space nothing, and propose that nothing is not only infinitesimal small but simultaneously infinite.
Nothing is possible 4/3 pi r³ subtract an equal 4/3 pi r³ = Notice how I did not put an answer, because the answer is nothing rather than 0.
Quote from: Thebox on 28/01/2016 00:58:49What is nothing?That question is an oxymoron. You assign a "what" to something. You can not contemplate nothing. It is totally illogical. Even the act of thinking about it makes it something.Quote from: Thebox on 28/01/2016 00:58:49 when most people think of nothing they consider nothing, no light, no mass, no time and no space.No..... When most people think of nothing they think of nothing made of particles. No Matter and No Energy. The Empty space is still there. Matter and Energy can be added to it. It is something.Quote from: Thebox on 28/01/2016 00:58:49so how can we define this in geometrical terms?And now you want to take an impossible concept and further define it by geometry while still insisting it is a nothing signifying the absence of everything. This is the sort of thinking my wife practices and it has absolutely nothing to do with logical thinking.Quote from: Thebox on 28/01/2016 00:58:49However , what if we were to view nothing, as there is nothing there within a space, such like a void and emptiness?Cool we have now progressed to wanting to view this? Yet you still think it isn't anything? Even my wife wouldn't go that far.Quote from: Thebox on 28/01/2016 00:58:49So I propose we could define the absolute of space nothing, and propose that nothing is not only infinitesimal small but simultaneously infinite. Noooo.... We can not define space as nothing. We would have to strip it of all the qualities we have proven it has. Again why would you ignore all the observational and experimental evidence that allows us to define Spacetime by it's properties. Only something can have properties that can be observed and defined.Quote from: Thebox on 28/01/2016 02:37:18Nothing is possible 4/3 pi r³ subtract an equal 4/3 pi r³ = Notice how I did not put an answer, because the answer is nothing rather than 0.You have just managed to subtract a perfectly good and very useful equation from itself and ended up with no equation. This answer ridiculous as it sounds makes more sense than your maths.How exactly do you propose you can take away (subtract) an otherwise empty volume from itself? Where exactly do you think you are going to put this empty volume that you have magically taken away from somewhere, thus leaving a gaping hole in the fabric of spacetime?
I am sorry but you really do not know what nothing is and certainly have no visualisation skills. If you can not see in front of your eyes the absolute zero points of adjoining space or the behind the light and matter, you have no idea what nothing is.
I bet in a former life you made a living out of massaging auras...

I knew nothing of science really, but nothing can soon become something.
I propose we could define that nothing is a zero point of anywhere of space where space isotropically adjoins space.
This is practically a pseudo-profound BS, unless you can prove that history has no future.
A little bit of knowledge can be a very misleading mistress. Especially with no clothes on.
Let me show you a special case where a point nothing can give a false negative. If we move at the speed of light, the universe will appear contracted to a point according to SR. At the speed of light, everything in our universe would appear smaller than a point if the entire universe was a point. Therefore by the math definition of a point, galaxies, stars and planets would be considered nothing; less than a point is not possible by definition since point is as small as you can go. But since we came from the inertial universe, we know there are many things that are smaller than the point nothing we see at the speed of light. However, we can't see them or measure them since they appear as nothing and are defined as nothing due to the definition of a point. The same is true of energy, in that at the speed of light, the point universe will not allow us to see any energy with a wavelength shorter than infinite wavelength. These wavelengths define a fraction of the nothing point.

A "zero point" seems debatable. Quantum mecanics assert the existence of zero point energy, for instance.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energyQuoteBut since we came from the inertial universe, we know there are many things that are smaller than the point nothing we see at the speed of light.

If you can imagine the inverse square law but being at the opposite end than the zero point, (the wide end) , relatively to you, you would not observe the light source and the Universe would be contracted to your lack of vision. Every vanishing point is a nothing point, beyond our boundaries of sight, the perceived background of black of space, is a virtual wall of nothing points. added - try to understand this diagram [ Invalid Attachment ]
