nothingness - Does something necessarily come from nothing . . . Nothing = something + less than nothing "Less than nothing" is another name for gravity Sounds like somebody's crazy theory, huh? But it is one of the amazing things that Einstein discovered that almost nobody knows about: Energy stored in the gravitational field is negative mass-energy And yes it IS simple to understand!
philosophy of science - What is nothing? - Philosophy Stack Exchange In that sense, emptiness is a physical force, and empty space is a real thing, not a 'nothing' At the same time the Parmenidean 'Nothing' as a supernatural construct also just seems to be a misunderstanding waiting to happen One version of the Bogomil heresy goes "Deposed, Satan had nothing He therefore rules the world
Is there a philosophy which argues that nothing exists?

philosophy of mathematics - How can zero exist if zero is nothing . . . Here, zero is't "nothing" zero is defined to be a set As an analogy, we could think of zero as a folder on a computer with no files inside Or as an empty container In my experience, zero is never defined to be "nothing" in mathematics, thinking of zero as nothing is a strictly nonmathematical conception of 0
metaphysics - Why is there something instead of nothing? - Philosophy . . . And let's define the nothing opposite to something as NOTHING, all in uppercase, in contrast to using semantics for talking about an empty group, the regular usage for nothing So, first, let's finally suppose you meant time (or space time) itself broader than the universe (1) spacetime > universe Then it doesn't matter if there is NOTHING at
logic - Can something be nothing? - Philosophy Stack Exchange Nothing is exactly that - not a thing, zero things, the absence of things and stuff "The concept of nothing" is a concept, and a concept is a thing, in at least some definitions of thing So "the concept of nothing" is a thing, while "nothing" is not a thing –
