No Subject (Part 4)

alephnull It had nothin do with you it is me...nothing is wrong with me...but some thing is the matter...fear not...I can handle.... Tud pock did right...and Mattam is not at fault either...there is no fault...it is over...Off to catch and surf some Tasmans...and chill with the turtles...the swell is still holding... some good hi energy pounders...I apologize to all I offended...logo

I did...surfing is such a cleanser...you>>>>>>> just keep on moving...alephnull…we'll keep it alive...the best thread I ever saw...

it's hard to believe how broad and deep the subject of nothing has become.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing

In the Shop, I did not know that particular if/then construct.

Yes, by all means, let's keep the nothingness of this nothing thread going, by searching into the formal structurization of nothing:

nihilism: (noun) (sing.) extreme skepticism maintaining that nothing in the world has a real existence.

Paradoxically, the number of sites that deal with nihilism in all its aspects is a lot more than nothing, and all the while it can be argued that all they have to say adds up to a lot of nothing.

Or maybe a formal view of it (nothing) is better achieved by looking at artistic attempts to capture it (nothing), that is, the essence of nothing.

So, something to look at, if you have nothing better to do:

In any case, as far as nihilism goes, there's really nothing to it.

Yes, I am, and proud of it!

But that's because my head is filled with zip, zero, nada. IE nothing

Did you ever think about dimensions, area, and points.
Any one object occupies space and therefore has dimensions. Dimension is an infinite collection of points.
A cube that is 2x2x2 has 8 cubit units.

But any one point, has zero area.
Pick a corner of that cube, what is it's area?
0 units
At what point in time does an array of points acquire length, width, height.
How can it, if each individual point has zero area?

But that cube occupies space and is filled with possibly nothing...or maybe something

Yes, I believe the infinity twins are just about as bothersome as nothing, and deserve their due consideration .

consider the space between electrons and the nucleus of the atom and how, despite the large void between particles, iron atoms make a very hard surface.

In reality, what we usually interpret as solid material is really the energy field between the particles. If we could just figure out how to disrupt that, we could align the particles making up a solid and slip between the empty spaces.

Kind of how I slip out of work early on a Friday.
