From Nothing

From Nothing:

of something from nothing — and what makes this thought so hard to grasp is that even space and time are absent from this void, absolute in total emptiness, and yet somehow too the source for all we are. This is our regression, that we arrive to this point by removing every possibility until not a single concept remains, not even a mathematical equation that allows for the laws of physics to be applied. Nothingness is indeed, absolute.

of course scientist debate what nothing really is, having done so for centuries, and the idea terrified ancient Greek philosophers so much that they refused to incorporate zero in their mathematical system even as the recognized its importance to complete some valued calculations. Nothingness can be truly frightening and maybe virtually impossible for us to understand. Again we come to regression and this time in a more personal manner. First seen is our bodies reduced to cells, followed by molecules and then atoms, everything smaller still until we reach the subatomic world of particles existing as a wave, not even measured until observed. Particles themselves are regressed even farther, or at least protons and neutrons are, with quarks being fundamental to their nature. At this point it’s all theory, or mostly so, and we are free to pick our favorite one. Personally I love the concept of String theory, that the universe is now reduced to the…
