Is nothing something? contd.

August 30th 2007 08:49

Is nothing something just because we can talk about it? In other words, does nothing exist if we can refer to it? An example is the unicorn. Does a unicorn exist? If I show you a picture of a unicorn, you would recognise it. "It's a unicorn," we would all say. We don't have to physically see something in order for it to exist.

So I'm wondering: Does nothing exist?

Good thought pravoking point. I guess you can also take a picture of nothing... or could you. Guess not because there would always have to be some sort of background in it wether a wall, air, the floor or ground. Can't draw a picture of nothing either. HMmmm, if you find the answer, let me know. <smiles>

That's an interesting point, which you answered as well. You can't take a picture of nothing, just as you can't take a picture of a unicorn. But here is where nothing becomes interesting: you can draw a unicorn, even though it doesn't exist, but you can't draw nothing. Nothing would always be something, no matter how you represented it.

I will certainly let you know when I find even a definition of nothing.
