For those that like this kind of topic, there’s an amazing graphic novel called Logicomix. Even if you don’t like graphic novels, you won’t be able to put this down. The last part of what Neil was talking about is the philosophy of language, which is what Wittgenstein basically said all philosophy boils down to. And if you read this far, let me digress (not to be confused with deGrasse) a little further. Doesn’t Neil sort of make Wittgenstein’s argument here? In school we used to argue about which science was the science to rule them all. Biologists, chemists, and physicists all had a go to say they were on top, but I always felt it was Philosophy. “Philosophy, that’s not even a science. Are you crazy?” they said. True, Philosophy gets has the rep that it was supplanted by science in the search for truth and supplanted by religion in the search for wisdom. But when you really get down to it, Philosophy has the most grounded appreciation of the boundaries of reality. Every day, physicists discover amazing things about the material universe; yet, when an astrophysicist tries to explain the concept of ’nothing,’ as he strips away everything he can describe he realizes the concept itself starts to make less sense. This is because we do not interface with reality directly, we do so through the senses and, importantly, through language.

Believe it or not, having nothing is one of my scariest dreams/ or nightmare. I dreamt about a dark place one day that space is being sucked into a vacuum and the space in a deep darkness, I was losing air and view of an immediate viewable space to a point that I almost not see a space in a complete darkness waking up panicking gasping for air, I was totally scared beyond words. Until now I get uneasy remembering it, what if big bang (as explained by scientists) didn't happen or what if creation as depicted in the Bible didn't occur? This gives me appreciation that I exist and the place that I can see and live in also exist.

Firstly, nothingness can't itself have an existence which is a tautological consequence of what existence actually is. You can't use "nothing" and "existence" in the same sentence without contradicting yourself. The relation between existence and the absent of it could be expressed as follow: existence=E, non-existence=E-, nothing=non-existence, existence=everything, E/=E-=> existence is not nothing, E=E=>existence is everything. The potential for everything to exist must be true since if existence didn't cover some parts that could conceivable exist, nothingness or non-existence would therefore exist in some way which cant be true since that would imply that a paradox was realized. One way to imagine this is to imagine the set of reality, that would be the ultimate set containing absolutely everything which would include all sub-sets. But then you might wonder why this ultimate set doesn't contain the set of nothing. This can be explained by imagining the set of nothingness, the absent of existence illustrated as an empty ring containing nothing since the set of nothing consist of nothing inside of it. The area inside of it would be totally empty and blank. Since a set is defined by its elements, the set of nothing is the only set that could never exist. Therefore, it doesn't either exist as a sub-set of the all-encompassing set of reality. Since logic is the means by which existence is realized, defining existence and non-existence firstly requires the explanation for why that logical operation can be made. That is, why logic itself exists. This must be explained trough the means of using some kind of metalogic where you define logic with logic itself. The answer to why logic must exist in this metalogical sense is that analogues to existence, the absent of logic would itself require an attribution that can't be attributed to it without the presence of the attribute. Non-logic is the absence of logic, making a distinction is itself by nature logical and therefore logic must exist as the very nature of its own structure. The relationship between logic and reality could be expressed as simple as: Logic=the structure of that which is true, Existence=that which exists and therefore is also the complete set of truth, Logic=Reality. Since reality is all there is, it defines, configure and processes itself from this primordial state of infinite potential into every logical structure that could possible exist, since remember, logic and its product which is reality requires the mere possibility for anything to exist to actualize since L=E=Everything.

These people trust their feelings, their guts, their eyes and their local pastor, more than they trust people who've spent most of their lives learning and explaining how the world works... But in spite of this these people love to use their smartphones, the internet, cars with GPS, etc. And all the stuff I've mentioned is based on science and not on some guy having a feeling about something..

I love to hear Neil explain things, I wish I could playfully and respectfully talk with him as the student who doesn’t know enough to not to ask the or state the wrong observations or questions. For instance, just because you can’t see it and measure or record it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’m the student that doesn’t know enough about science or physics, etc. To be convinced that consciousness is not the by product of things no matter how far down the scale you find a way to see or detect the earliest manifestations of energy, preforms of matter and matter. But rather consciousness creates everything we attribute to the known and unknown universe and multiverses from the smallest to the largest, and from here through out all eternities. ONESELF BY PHILLIP HOLLOWAY Sr. Before there was anything or any place, before there was anywhere, any time or any space, There was One Self, this was and is the Self Being of what we now call God. There was no over there, or over here, there was no this or that...nor was there any light or white, darkness or black. But there was One Self...there was no far or near...there was no anger or fear... There was no high or low, there was no where to stay and no where to go... But this I do know, there was One Self...Before there was anything else. This is just a few lines from the longer version of this poem I wrote decades ago… But it expresses my observation of All that Is from the depths of me that science alone will never be able to explain to its satisfaction. The One Self I’m referring to here includes all the perspectives of self from All that Is. This most definitely includes you and me, I fully believe and except that we are as eternal and infinite as the universe and multiverses are. Not as humans, but as conscious co-creators knowing ourselves as one and many with no true point of separation only the perceptions of it.

“The nothing that is something which is nothing” is the perfect conclusion, good for Chuck!

Everyone knows that when people say "nothing" or "something" they always mean certain material things. Nobody thinks about "air" when they see an "empty" box. They think of "things" everyone gets.

Neil trying to imagine The Nothing and explain it to us - while i was having a Michael Ende's 'The Neverending Story' flashback.. The Nothing cannot be named, explained, understood or even imagined; therefore, Nothing is the absence of imagination, creativity.

So, the moral is that our universe dislikes “nothing” so much that “nothing” cannot exist....

@@OfTheTribeOfJudah Personally, I believe our universe was created from the brief formation of a white hole. This could explain why we haven't found the theoretical "center" of our universe and why everything is rapidly expanding outward. Also, to believe in an all-powerful creator, would still leave you with the same question: if "nothing" cannot be, where did this creator come from?

This is the closest I've come to actually understanding what they mean when they say that there is nothing beyond the edges of space/before the big bang.

In our brain, maybe. We do not know anything about what lies behind our horizons. There may be an infinite amount of pasts, and futures may keep popping up in an infinite eternity... We'll never know... we even can't imagine such reality. In our mind there has to be a start and finish... a cause, a future, timeline, bend by gravity maybe, but lineair. We'll never know how matter became existence. As Kant wrote in our past: faith starts where science stops... So we created a creator... constructed intellectually The Bang. In reality that construction lies beyond our observational capacities. Was there intelligence before it mattered? Energy of some kind? What created cause? Where did that come from? I rest my case.

As you approach the state of nothing, even space time ceases to be; it is logical to conclude that there is no further perception, which in turn implies that the perceiver ceases to be too. Being implies existence of the observer.

The energy/chemistry these guys have is amazing to watch, They're both funny and very smart.

The PARTICLE TRAIN! Previously I suggested that eternal photons made electron positron pairs, (as well as all standard model particles). Here's how. Start with a PARTICLE TRAIN, each time you add an electron or positron car to the train, you get a new particle. The only rule is the cars have to alternate from electron to positron. Think of a wave with trough always alternating with crest. Photons as electron positron pairs could make the main parts of an atom in the brief time after the Big Bang under those extreme and never repeated conditions. Charges are the cars on our particle train. Positive positron (+), Negative electron (-). Positron (+) Electron (-) Photon (+) (-) Proton (+) (-) (+) Anti Proton (-) (+) (-) Neutron (+) (-) (+) (-) Anti Neutron (-) (+) (-)(+) . The PROTONS and NEUTRONS are made from ELECTRONS and POSITRONS! When this production of particles was over, most anti particles with charge; positrons, and anti protons, didn't exist on their own. They were LOCKED INTO PROTONS OR NEUTRONS. That way conservation of charge was maintained. That also explains the MISSING ANTI MATTER PROBLEM! This from Wikipedia article Matter Creation: It is possible to create all fundamental particles in the standard model, including quarks, leptons and bosons using photons of varying energies above some minimum threshold, whether directly (by pair production), or by decay of the intermediate particle (such as a W− boson decaying to form an electron and an electron-antineutrino).

No you gotta go the full scope. What did he say - Nitrogen, Co2 etc. - probably should pull up somekind of instrument/s to measure the presumably empty box. :D

The outer boundary of a boundary is still incorporated within the Laws that apply within the boundary as observed independent of the outer boundary. As it is these laws with the observed boundary which allow for the outer boundary to exist as it does. The absence of something is not nothing. But is something of nothing. Which makes it something. When/if the Laws of Physics don't apply, it is where they apply differently.

Void is likely the best description. Another thought, if light is this empty nothing, isn't there matter @ E=MC squared?

I've never seen anyone talk about nothing for 13 minutes straight and still be this entertaining and insightful. Lol

I think the deeper understanding is not that "nothing" doesn't exist but that it is impossible for us to observe "nothing". If you think about the time before you were born and didn't exist that would be "nothing" except we can't visualise, remember or imagine that because it doesn't have any connection with your existence. True "nothing" is completely incomprehensible but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Parenting tricks of the trade: 1. When child is age 3, and have an understanding of Christmas ( if no understanding of Christmas wait until age of understanding is achieved) give child a Christmas present of the newest version of what they have found the most interest in (e.i. if tech then tech), and as soon as they look in then box, remove the box from their sight, and when they look at you, just take a photograph, listen closely, both parents (blood) must participate, because after the childs photograph is taken, have parent who did not take the photograph enter the room or home from either outside, or a seperate room. Then I am giving my child a necklace, y'all can choose your gift on your own. Afterwards donate the photograph to the hayden planetarium.

There is a hungarian word for english "nothing" is "semmi". There is a big difference in the meaning. The hungarian version means not only things are "no", but neither past or future, or time, or thought.

As I'm watching this, I'm thinking about a Star Talk - Mind Field Cross-Over... Michael Stevens & Neil de Grasse Tyson... That would be perfect...

Bit of a paradox, because being conscience of that there is nothing would mean that there is something. However, you can run out or not have nothing of a specific thing therefore 'nothing' exists and does exists for us and to everything that needs something to some degree.
