Nothing can never exist?

[jewpinthethird]

UGH. MY BRAIN. I keep thing about that hypothesis about the universe expanding to a point at which there is no more matter to expand and the universe used fades away. HOW CAN IT BE?!

[TheChuck0]

My theory is that the universe is not an infinite sphere, but actualy a huge scattered plane. Wherein there is no rhyme or reason to it, and the reason galaxies move is because they are either being pulled or pushed by other bodies. Black holes, other galaxies etc. My theory on nothing however would be like comparing it to purgatory. Nothing is absense of everything. colour, feeling, sound, light the whole works, but that's as good as I can explain it. There's probaly thousands of trained professionals who work on Einstein princples to find how alot of the stuff in the universe works.

[IronMonk]

yeah, then again, you could just become an immaterialist and sum it up as, its there because I am.

[alvask8er]

Well, it seems that there is a new debate about black holes existing. From what i learned from one of my physics teachers, black holes are impossible, and dangnabbit i cant remember why. But the existence of worm holes is true, and they are similar to black holes. As for other topics addressed in this one, the universe is so very immense.(sp?) Our entire solar system, from sun to the new planet they found beyond pluto, is at the tip of a spiral galaxy. This spiral galaxy has thousands of solar systems like ours and bigger in it. This galaxy is one of another huge number, which makes up the universe. Now for one to say that some where out there life does not exist, i think they are foolish. And either way, how do we know we aren't just inside the Matrix? :P

[JustJono]

I thought it was the other way around -- blackholes possible -- worm holes not. I thought 'they' reversed the blackhole equation and came up with wormholes?

[Nightstar]

okay, lemme clear some things up. Our solar system is in the arm of a galaxy with 200 billion stars. that is the real number. it is part of a supercluster of billions of galaxies.

black holes are very real. there is a supermassive black hole at the middle of EVERY galaxy. those black holes allow galaxies to form. their is a normal black hole(ex-supernova) about 5000 light years away from here. astronomers can watch them eat matter from stars and such. i have watched one feed of a star before. Their is even a theory that our universe is INSIDE a huge blackhole.

as for wormholes, we have no FACTS on them, so anything is just speculation, or theory.

just thought i would clear some of that up.

[peregrine]

with 200 billion stars. that is the real number.

Real number huh? So you've counted? -- just messin with ya, be careful when throwing around "facts."

And I'll back Nightstar up on seeing a black hole, I've seen pictures of solar mass being ripped off a star and into a black hole... quite pretty actually.

[themanwithsauce]

if black holes are true then they aren't nothing, they suck in material giving them existence. Sure their gravity crushes any matter to the point where there is no space between molecules but they have some existence. We as humans should stop focusing on whether there can be nothing and try and improve the something we know that exists. Nothingness is a very scary thought that i dont personally want to think about. There is nothing no thought, no color (this includes black and white), no matter, no religion. You can't imagine a worse fate than nothingness.

[Chrissi]

You can't imagine a worse fate than nothingness.

It's not like it's torture... you wouldn't even know there was nothing, because there's nothing.

[makaveli121212]

nothing can never exist?


prove it

[DracIV]

Theman, black holes are most definately something. Also, we have counted the # of stars in our galaxy, that's what astronomers do (watch the stars).

Nothingness isn't a torture. If you ask me, it would be quite the opposite. No religion, no war, no pain, no death, just peace. Sounds kinda nice. I think fear of nothingness may be a phobia (literally).

[themanwithsauce]

actually, u people are right that nothingness isn't torture but then Drac u said that nothingness would be good. Well if it is nothingness and nothing is there then no one can be there to experience nothingness because the person being there would be something.

[alainbryden]

^ It takes simplicity like that to truely understand the nothingness of nothingness
