As after all once you start thinking about nothing, it
becomes something. We humans have a strangely strong desire to name everything.
It makes logical sense as one cannot talk about the existence of an unnamed
entity, or ‘thing’. We would forever be explaining long drawn out descriptions
if everything was nameless. But why can’t we accept the existence of ‘nothing’. The existence of the nameless.
If you believe in the Big Bang you will be fully aware that
the universe is constantly expanding. I was talking to a friend about this and
asked her
‘What is it expanding into?’
Her immediate response was ‘space’.
‘Define space’ I said.
And she came out with
the typical ‘black’ never-ending’ etc.
I simply replied ‘I believe it is expanding into ‘nothing’.
A few hours later she returned after speaking to her
boyfriend and said ‘But ‘nothing’ can’t
exist, it must be something’.
Proving that people cannot begin to understand our universe.
I believe in the existence of nothing but cannot begin to explain it to people.
When I asked a science teacher the same original question; ‘What is the
universe expanding into?’ He said that he personally believes ‘space’ is like
an optical illusion. Intertwining and never ending. But was stumped when I
asked ‘What lies outside of the illusion?.
Another friend managed to interpret my meaning and cleverly
said ‘It’s like a box Imagine space as a box' What lies outside of the box?’
That’s what I want to know.
