What is Nothing?

Can nothing even exist? Or can it only ever exist in the mind, or in theory/philosophy?

Empty space is not empty, it has air and molecules and stuff. Space is not empty, there are wormholes, asteroids, etc. Dark matter is not nothing, it's a huge mass of energy. Parts of space that have "nothing", no atoms, small particles, still have gravity, and radiowaves, and photons running through them.

Another random thought...

Nothing is everything, but not Realized.

Nothing is nothing until you put a name to it..like everything else that was nothing until it became something. :)

It's there but only simultaneous with 'thing'. There are various possibilities which can be seperated intellectually, but together are a 'constant'. It's a space constant and nothing is partial to that, but it's also simultaneous with 'stuff'.

That's something and not nothing right there.
( picking up my brain now and piecing it back together. )

perhaps the wormholes/black holes are nothing
so nothing that it sucks you into something :p

I think it's gravity Trapped... Or not, I could be wrong, but you're right! I think it's the closest to nothing we might ever get. Or not..... Aargh....

And Gem, my nose just bled... Hahaha... :))
