Nothing doesn't exist

Sitting here bored on a Sunday afternoon, thinking about nothing, which is actually thinking about something.

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/nothing-physic ... 17357.html

Nothing cannot be seen or measured.. so nothing doesn't exist.
It's impossible to have nothing, or to do nothing, or to say nothing, as the act of saying nothing sends a message louder than than saying everything.

I could say that there is nothing in my wine glass at the moment... :cry: ....

...but actually, it is full of air!.... :o ...!

I found that filling the glass with California red wine, displaced all of the air so that "nothing" didn't exist any more...

...and I feel so much happier... :banana-linedance: ....HIC!.... :mrgreen:

Indeed...one of those impossible subjects

If you truly had a void with nothing, the void would be among things that are something so the void itself is something...a void of nothing.

Bit like the universe...where is it...it can't be endless so it must be in something and if it truly is, there what is that something in and so it goes on and on, ad infinitum.

Yep. Yep. Yep. My favorite pastime, sitting around with the guys, sipping beer, saying "Yep, yep, yep", and doing nothing.

Someone once said to me, "Y'know, you're the only person I know that can actually see nothing coming so that when nothing gets to you, you've already prepared yourself for it by doing nothing about it.

"I know nothing. Nothing!" - Sargent Schulze

I'm sure there's a lot more nothings to philosophize about, but I can't think of any of them right now, nothing's coming to mind.

So if I may be excused, there's a beer in the fridge with my name on it. Oh, no, I forgot to get beer and chips! There's nothing there! Aauugghh!

This is clearly a question for military intelligence.

But that doesn't exist either.

It would seem that a load of people with nothing better to do got together to discuss nothing, thus proving they had a lot of spare time on their collective hands.......................

Not for nothing, but this has got to be the best discussion about nothing. I got nothing more to say.

"I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about."

This I pondered long ago and realized, in the Modern English language** and in math, nothing has to be something.
An "=" equals "exists as" -- thus "nothing = nothing" or "nothing exists as nothing" means that nothing must be something, making "nothing does not = something" unviable because you should then have something akin to " does not = something"... (which also contradicts itself with the "you should have something akin to...).

So, the next time I think I have nothing to do, I should be glad I have something to do... ;)

**P.S. For some weird reason I first typoed "languish"...
