My argument today has been the study of many, for years and centuries. People have even argued to whether this thing actually exists or not. It has been characterized as a major issue in philosophy, and have been defined by hundreds, if not thousands of people, each assuming a different perspective to define it. Nothing.


Greater than God
More evil than the Devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
Dead people eat it,
If you eat it, you'll die...

Yes, it's nothing that have been my subject of interest for the past few days. The concept of nothing may have many interpretations. And as I said earlier, some people believe that it does not exist. No one has ever touched, smelled, or even felt nothing. The thought of 'nothing' alone makes you think of something, which excludes it from being nothing.

Nothing can be considered as the absence, vacuum or lack of something. Looking to the argument mathematical wise, I think there is a strong link between nothing and the number zero. It symbolizes a value which has no value. Zero is nothing? If zero is nothing, and since no one pays any attention to nothing, why was there a zero invented then? Why has someone invented something which resembles nothing? Zero was searched by many genius mathematicians for centuries, and even after zero was discovered, the clear concept and significance was quite not clear yet. And for years people tried to decipher (Btw, zero derives from the arabic word "Sefer" which also leads us to the english word cipher) the actual role of this "nothing" value. This was one thing that nothing was used practically in. Though still being a mysterical thing, nothing along with its mate Zero, has proved its role realistically.
While writing this update, someone asked me what was I doing. I didn't realize how much I was so into Nothing that nothing made me write about Nothing in this update :) Yes very wise i know :P I am truly sorry if I underestimated the value of nothing here, or even humiliated it by making it a something to talk about, or an issue to argue with. Is Nothing no longer the vague, anonymous, mysterical figure? Has it proven its existence through it's mysterious world of unanswerable riddles?

"If nothing exists, there is empty space. If there is empty space there is something. Since this is a contradiction of the first statement neither statement exists. Therefore something must always exist. Therefore nothing is the only thing that does not exist."


P.s: If nothing made sense to you, I reached what I was looking for :P

Well... In my opinion... The things I don't think about are nothing, but since i mentioned them just now... I guess they are something that used to be nothing to me... but for another person who didn't read what u wrote.. Many things that he/she doesn't think about are nothing to them.. Until a certain time... So I guess that "nothing" has an expiry date which is the time a person turns the nothing into a something just by thinking about it..

"its the nothing in us which makes us something " --ra3yat_el_guitar

I like that. When realising the nothing, we try to make something out of it. Therefore, nothingness withing us turns into something, or turns us into something.

Hey remember? -> "You are nusing.. I will make you somesing" :P

Thanks alot guys for passing by and commenting here.. I'm really proud that we all are actually got a discussion out of nothing! Now don't say there's nothing to talk about.. Actually, there Is "nothing" which we can talk about :P lol Anyways, I'm loving this discussion between you, and how each one of you interprets the meaning of nothing in different ways.

ra3yat_el_guitar Got your point. Thanks for sharing dear =) Salme 3ala your bro..
