Dude, nothing is not a perfect vacuus. Space is something. Time is something. An admirable knowledge of physics but no understanding of what true nothingness is. As another commenter pointed out, nothing is the one thing that cannot exist. Another noted that even being a concept in our head is something. Nothing is inscrutable.

In essence, no one really can define what "nothingness" is. In fact, when you say and think of nothingness you already say and think of an idea of something, which is no-thing, which then trying to put no-thing in your mind. Nothingness, in essence, is beyond ideas. It is beyond nothingness itself.

Let me offer some preliminary proofs and arguments for the primacy of zero (0) and dimensionlessness (0D) while drawing on insights from various fields of mathematics and physics: Theorem 1: The zero vector is the unique additive identity in any vector space. Proof: Let V be a vector space over a field F, and let 0 be the zero vector in V. For any vector v in V, we have: v + 0 = v (by definition of the zero vector) 0 + v = v (by commutativity of vector addition) Therefore, 0 is an additive identity in V. To prove uniqueness, suppose there exists another additive identity e in V, such that: v + e = v and e + v = v for all v in V Then, we have: e = e + 0 (since 0 is an additive identity) = 0 (since e is also an additive identity) Therefore, 0 is the unique additive identity in V. This proof demonstrates the fundamental role of the zero vector in the structure of vector spaces, and suggests that zero may be the ultimate ground or reference point for all mathematical objects and operations. Theorem 2: The vacuum state is the lowest energy state in quantum field theory. Proof: In quantum field theory, the vacuum state |0⟩ is defined as the state with the lowest possible energy. This follows from the postulates of quantum mechanics and the properties of the quantum harmonic oscillator. Consider a quantum harmonic oscillator with Hamiltonian H, which can be expressed in terms of the creation and annihilation operators a† and a as: H = ℏω(a†a + 1/2) where ℏ is the reduced Planck constant and ω is the angular frequency of the oscillator. The vacuum state |0⟩ is defined as the state that is annihilated by the annihilation operator: a|0⟩ = 0 Applying the Hamiltonian to the vacuum state, we have: H|0⟩ = ℏω(a†a + 1/2)|0⟩ = ℏω(a†(a|0⟩) + 1/2|0⟩) = ℏω(a†(0) + 1/2|0⟩) = (ℏω/2)|0⟩ Therefore, the vacuum state has an energy of ℏω/2, which is the lowest possible energy state of the quantum harmonic oscillator. In quantum field theory, each mode of a quantum field can be treated as a quantum harmonic oscillator, and the vacuum state of the field is defined as the tensor product of the vacuum states of all the individual modes. Therefore, the vacuum state is the lowest energy state of the entire quantum field. This proof highlights the fundamental role of the vacuum state in quantum field theory, and suggests that the zero-point energy of the vacuum may be the ultimate source of all physical phenomena. Theorem 3: The empty set is a subset of every set. Proof: Let A be any set, and let ∅ be the empty set. To prove that ∅ is a subset of A, we need to show that every element of ∅ is also an element of A. However, ∅ has no elements by definition. Therefore, the statement "every element of ∅ is also an element of A" is vacuously true, since there are no elements of ∅ to begin with. Thus, ∅ is a subset of A. This proof demonstrates the fundamental role of the empty set in set theory, and suggests that the concept of nothingness or void may be the ultimate foundation of all mathematical structures. Theorem 4: The zero matrix is the unique matrix that represents the linear transformation that maps all vectors to the zero vector. Proof: Let V be a vector space over a field F, and let A be an n × n matrix over F. Suppose A represents a linear transformation T : V → V that maps all vectors to the zero vector, i.e., T(v) = 0 for all v in V. Let e_i be the standard basis vectors of V, i.e., e_i has a 1 in the i-th position and 0s elsewhere. Then, we have: T(e_i) = 0 for all i from 1 to n But T(e_i) is also equal to the i-th column of A, since: T(e_i) = Ae_i = [a_1i, a_2i, ..., a_ni]^T where a_ji is the entry in the j-th row and i-th column of A. Therefore, we have: [a_1i, a_2i, ..., a_ni]^T = 0 for all i from 1 to n This implies that all entries of A must be zero, i.e., A is the zero matrix. To prove uniqueness, suppose there exists another matrix B that represents the same linear transformation T. Then, by the same argument as above, all entries of B must also be zero. Therefore, B is equal to the zero matrix, and the zero matrix is the unique matrix that represents the linear transformation that maps all vectors to the zero vector. This proof highlights the special role of the zero matrix in representing the most degenerate linear transformation, and suggests that zero may be the foundational concept underlying all linear mappings and transformations. Theorem 5: The Euler characteristic of a topological space is a topological invariant. Proof: Let X be a topological space, and let χ(X) be its Euler characteristic, defined as: χ(X) = Σ_i (-1)^i β_i where β_i is the i-th Betti number of X, which counts the number of i-dimensional "holes" in X. To prove that χ(X) is a topological invariant, we need to show that it remains unchanged under continuous deformations of X, such as stretching, twisting, or bending, but not tearing or gluing. Consider a continuous map f : X → Y between two topological spaces X and Y. The induced homomorphisms on the homology groups of X and Y satisfy the following property: f_* : H_i(X) → H_i(Y) is a group homomorphism for each i Moreover, the alternating sum of the ranks of these homomorphisms is equal to the Euler characteristic: Σ_i (-1)^i rank(f_*) = χ(X) - χ(Y) Now, if f is a homeomorphism, i.e., a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse, then the induced homomorphisms f_* are isomorphisms, and their ranks are equal to the Betti numbers of X and Y: rank(f_*) = β_i(X) = β_i(Y) for each i Therefore, we have: Σ_i (-1)^i rank(f_*) = Σ_i (-1)^i β_i(X) - Σ_i (-1)^i β_i(Y) = χ(X) - χ(Y) = 0 This implies that χ(X) = χ(Y) whenever X and Y are homeomorphic, i.e., χ is a topological invariant. This proof highlights the fundamental role of the Euler characteristic in capturing the essential topological properties of a space, and suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness may be intimately connected to the deep structure of space and time. Theorem 6: The partition function of a quantum statistical system can be expressed as a sum over all possible configurations, weighted by the exponential of the negative energy divided by the temperature. Proof: Let H be the Hamiltonian of a quantum statistical system, and let β = 1/kT be the inverse temperature, where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature. The partition function Z of the system is defined as: Z = Tr(e^(-βH)) where Tr denotes the trace operation, which sums over all possible states of the system. Using the eigenstates |n⟩ of the Hamiltonian, with corresponding energies E_n, we can express the partition function as: Z = Σ_n ⟨n|e^(-βH)|n⟩ = Σ_n e^(-βE_n) where we have used the fact that the exponential of a diagonal matrix is the exponential of its diagonal entries. Now, each eigenstate |n⟩ corresponds to a particular configuration of the system, with a certain energy E_n. The sum over all possible states can therefore be interpreted as a sum over all possible configurations, weighted by the exponential of the negative energy divided by the temperature. This result is known as the Boltzmann distribution, and it forms the foundation of statistical mechanics. It allows us to calculate various thermodynamic quantities, such as the average energy, entropy, and free energy of the system, in terms of the partition function and its derivatives. The fact that the partition function can be expressed as a sum over all possible configurations, including the "empty" or "vacuum" configuration with zero energy, suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness may play a fundamental role in the statistical properties of matter and energy.

Theorem 7: The vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity is proportional to the metric tensor. Proof: In general relativity, the energy-momentum tensor T_μν is a symmetric second-rank tensor that describes the density and flux of energy and momentum in spacetime. The vacuum expectation value of T_μν, denoted by ⟨0|T_μν|0⟩, is the expectation value of T_μν in the vacuum state |0⟩. According to the Einstein field equations, the energy-momentum tensor is related to the curvature of spacetime via: R_μν - (1/2)Rg_μν + Λg_μν = (8πG/c^4) T_μν where R_μν is the Ricci tensor, R is the scalar curvature, g_μν is the metric tensor, Λ is the cosmological constant, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and c is the speed of light. In the vacuum state, the energy-momentum tensor vanishes classically, i.e., T_μν = 0. However, in quantum field theory, the vacuum state has zero-point fluctuations that give rise to a non-zero vacuum expectation value of T_μν. By the principle of general covariance, the vacuum expectation value of T_μν must be proportional to the only available second-rank tensor in the vacuum, which is the metric tensor g_μν: ⟨0|T_μν|0⟩ = κg_μν where κ is a constant. Substituting this into the Einstein field equations, we obtain: R_μν - (1/2)Rg_μν + Λg_μν = (8πG/c^4) κg_μν This implies that the vacuum energy-momentum tensor acts like a cosmological constant term in the Einstein equations, with an effective cosmological constant given by: Λ_eff = Λ + (8πG/c^4) κ The fact that the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor is proportional to the metric tensor suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness may be deeply connected to the geometry and topology of spacetime, and may play a crucial role in the large-scale structure and evolution of the universe. Theorem 8: The Riemann zeta function, which is a fundamental object in number theory and complex analysis, has a deep connection to the distribution of prime numbers and the properties of the vacuum state in quantum field theory. Proof: The Riemann zeta function ζ(s) is defined as: ζ(s) = Σ_n 1/n^s for complex numbers s with real part greater than 1. It can be analytically continued to a meromorphic function on the entire complex plane, with a simple pole at s=1. The Euler product formula expresses the Riemann zeta function as an infinite product over all prime numbers: ζ(s) = Π_p (1 - 1/p^s)^(-1) where p runs over all prime numbers. This formula establishes a deep connection between the Riemann zeta function and the distribution of prime numbers. In particular, the famous Riemann hypothesis states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function (i.e., zeros with real part between 0 and 1) have real part equal to 1/2. If the Riemann hypothesis is true, it would imply strong bounds on the distribution of prime numbers and the behavior of various number-theoretic functions. Interestingly, the Riemann zeta function also appears in the expression for the Casimir energy of a quantum field in a vacuum state. The Casimir energy is a manifestation of the zero-point fluctuations of the quantum field, and can be calculated as a regularized sum over all possible modes of the field. For a scalar field in a one-dimensional cavity of length L, the Casimir energy is given by: E_Casimir = (π/24L) ζ(-1) where ζ(-1) = -1/12 is the value of the Riemann zeta function at s=-1. This result suggests that the Riemann zeta function, and in particular its values at negative integers, may have a deep connection to the properties of the vacuum state and the zero-point fluctuations of quantum fields. The fact that the Riemann zeta function appears in both number theory and quantum field theory, and that it is intimately connected to the concept of zero (through its zeros and its values at negative integers), suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be a unifying theme across different branches of mathematics and physics. Theorem 9: The Euler-Lagrange equations, which are the fundamental equations of motion in classical mechanics and field theory, can be derived from the principle of least action, which states that the path taken by a system between two points is the one that minimizes the action integral. Proof: Let q_i(t) be the generalized coordinates of a system, and let L(q_i, dq_i/dt, t) be the Lagrangian of the system, which is a function of the coordinates, their time derivatives, and time. The action integral S is defined as the integral of the Lagrangian over time: S = ∫_t1^t2 L(q_i, dq_i/dt, t) dt The principle of least action states that the path taken by the system between two points (q_i(t1), q_i(t2)) is the one that minimizes the action integral S. To find the equations of motion, we require that the variation of the action integral with respect to the path is zero: δS = 0 Using the calculus of variations, we can show that this condition leads to the Euler-Lagrange equations: (d/dt) (∂L/∂(dq_i/dt)) - (∂L/∂q_i) = 0 for each generalized coordinate q_i. These equations describe the motion of the system and can be used to derive the conservation laws and symmetry principles of classical mechanics and field theory. The fact that the equations of motion can be derived from a variational principle, which involves minimizing an integral, suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness (in the sense of a minimum or stationary point) may play a fundamental role in the dynamics of physical systems. Moreover, the action integral itself can be interpreted as a measure of the "amount of nothingness" in the path of the system, in the sense that it vanishes for the classical path (the one that satisfies the equations of motion) and is positive for all other paths. This interpretation suggests that the classical path of a system can be seen as a "zero mode" or "vacuum state" of the action integral, and that the properties of this zero mode may be related to the fundamental laws of physics and the symmetries of nature. Theorem 10: The concept of entropy, which is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, is intimately connected to the concept of information and the properties of the vacuum state in quantum field theory. Proof: In thermodynamics, the entropy S of a system is defined as: S = -k Σ_i p_i log(p_i) where k is the Boltzmann constant, and p_i is the probability of the system being in the i-th microstate. This definition establishes a connection between entropy and information, as the entropy can be interpreted as the average amount of information needed to specify the microstate of the system. In quantum statistical mechanics, the entropy can be expressed in terms of the density matrix ρ of the system: S = -k Tr(ρ log(ρ)) where Tr denotes the trace operation. For a pure state, which is described by a single wave function |ψ⟩, the density matrix is given by: ρ = |ψ⟩⟨ψ| and the entropy vanishes: S = 0 This result suggests that a pure state, which can be seen as a "zero mode" or "vacuum state" of the system, has zero entropy and zero information content. In quantum field theory, the vacuum state |0⟩ is defined as the state with the lowest possible energy, and is annihilated by all the annihilation operators of the field: a_k |0⟩ = 0 for all modes k. The vacuum state can be seen as a "zero mode" of the quantum field, in the sense that it has zero energy and zero particle content. However, the vacuum state also has non-trivial topological and geometric properties, which are related to the concept of entropy and the structure of spacetime. In particular, the entanglement entropy of the vacuum state, which measures the amount of entanglement between different regions of spacetime, is proportional to the area of the boundary between the regions (the "area law"): S_entanglement = (c^3/4ℏG) A where c is the speed of light, ℏ is the reduced Planck constant, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and A is the area of the boundary. This result suggests that the vacuum state of a quantum field has a deep connection to the geometry and topology of spacetime, and that the concept of entropy and information may play a fundamental role in the structure of the universe at the most fundamental level. The fact that the vacuum state, which can be seen as a "zero mode" of the quantum field, has non-trivial entropy and information content, suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be a key to understanding the nature of space, time, and matter.

Theorem 11: The fundamental theorem of algebra, which states that every non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero in the complex number system. Proof: Let p(z) be a non-constant polynomial of degree n with complex coefficients: p(z) = a_n z^n + a_{n-1} z^{n-1} + ... + a_1 z + a_0 where a_n ≠ 0. The fundamental theorem of algebra states that there exists at least one complex number z_0 such that: p(z_0) = 0 To prove this theorem, we can use the concept of the winding number of a curve in the complex plane. Consider the image of the unit circle |z| = 1 under the polynomial function p(z). As z traverses the unit circle, the image p(z) traces out a closed curve in the complex plane. The winding number of this curve around the origin is defined as: W = (1/2πi) ∮_{|z|=1} (p'(z)/p(z)) dz It can be shown that the winding number W is always an integer, and that it counts the number of zeros of the polynomial p(z) inside the unit circle. Moreover, as the radius of the circle goes to infinity, the winding number approaches the degree of the polynomial: W → n as |z| → ∞ This implies that the polynomial p(z) must have at least one zero in the complex plane, as otherwise the winding number would be zero for all circles, contradicting the fact that it approaches the degree of the polynomial as the radius goes to infinity. The fundamental theorem of algebra can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero in the complex number system, as it shows that every polynomial equation p(z) = 0 has at least one solution, and that the number of solutions is related to the degree of the polynomial. In other words, the existence of zeros (or roots) is a fundamental property of polynomials, and is intimately connected to the topology and geometry of the complex plane. This result suggests that the concept of zero, and the study of its properties and manifestations in different mathematical structures, may be key to unlocking the deepest secrets of algebra and number theory. Theorem 12: The concept of symmetry, which plays a fundamental role in modern physics and mathematics, is intimately connected to the concept of invariance under transformations, and can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness. Proof: In mathematics, a symmetry of an object is a transformation that leaves the object unchanged. For example, a circle is symmetric under rotations around its center, as any rotation will map the circle onto itself. In physics, symmetries are described by groups of transformations that act on the states and observables of a system. For example, the symmetry group of special relativity is the Poincaré group, which consists of rotations, boosts, and translations in spacetime. The concept of invariance under transformations is closely related to the concept of symmetry, as a quantity or property is said to be invariant under a transformation if it remains unchanged when the transformation is applied. In mathematical terms, if G is a group of transformations acting on a set X, and f is a function on X, then f is said to be invariant under G if: f(g(x)) = f(x) for all x in X and all g in G. The concept of invariance can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, as it captures the idea that certain properties or quantities remain "unchanged" or "unaffected" under certain transformations. In other words, invariance can be interpreted as a kind of "zero mode" or "vacuum state" of the system, which is preserved under the action of the symmetry group. This idea is particularly evident in the context of Noether's theorem, which states that every continuous symmetry of a physical system corresponds to a conserved quantity. For example, the invariance of the laws of physics under translations in time leads to the conservation of energy, while the invariance under translations in space leads to the conservation of momentum. These conserved quantities can be seen as "zero modes" of the system, in the sense that they remain constant or "unchanged" under the action of the symmetry group. The fact that symmetries and invariance play such a fundamental role in physics and mathematics suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be deeply connected to the structure and behavior of the universe at the most fundamental level. Theorem 13: The concept of emergent spacetime, which suggests that the fabric of space and time is not a fundamental entity but rather arises from underlying quantum degrees of freedom, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness. Proof: In general relativity, spacetime is described as a smooth, continuous manifold with a metric tensor that encodes its geometry and curvature. However, in quantum gravity theories such as loop quantum gravity and causal dynamical triangulations, spacetime is thought to be fundamentally discrete and composed of tiny quantum building blocks, such as loops, nodes, or simplices. These quantum degrees of freedom are postulated to give rise to the smooth, continuous spacetime of general relativity at large scales, through a process of coarse-graining or averaging. In other words, spacetime is not a fundamental entity, but rather an emergent phenomenon that arises from the collective behavior of underlying quantum degrees of freedom. This idea can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that spacetime emerges from a "void" or "vacuum" of quantum degrees of freedom, which have no intrinsic spatiotemporal properties. In mathematical terms, if we denote the quantum degrees of freedom by φ_i, and the emergent spacetime by g_μν, then we can express the idea of emergent spacetime as: g_μν = F[φ_i] where F is a coarse-graining or averaging function that maps the quantum degrees of freedom to the emergent spacetime. The fact that spacetime emerges from underlying quantum degrees of freedom suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be non-spatiotemporal, and that the concepts of space and time may be secondary or derived notions that arise from more primitive, non-geometric entities. This idea is reminiscent of the concept of "non-commutative geometry" in mathematics, where the notion of space is generalized to algebraic structures that do not necessarily have a geometric interpretation. In non-commutative geometry, the fundamental objects are not points or curves, but rather abstract algebraic entities such as operators or matrices, which can be thought of as "quantized" or "non-commutative" versions of classical geometric objects. The fact that non-commutative geometry provides a natural framework for quantum gravity and emergent spacetime suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be deeply connected to the algebraic and non-geometric aspects of reality.

Theorem 14: The holographic principle, which states that the information content of a region of space can be described by a theory on the boundary of that region, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness. Proof: The holographic principle is a general feature of quantum gravity theories, which suggests that the degrees of freedom of a region of space can be encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary of that region. The most famous example of the holographic principle is the AdS/CFT correspondence, which states that a theory of gravity in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is equivalent to a conformal field theory (CFT) on the boundary of that space. In other words, the physics of the bulk AdS space can be completely described by the physics of the boundary CFT, which has one fewer dimension than the bulk. The holographic principle can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that it suggests that the fundamental degrees of freedom of a region of space are not located in the bulk, but rather on the boundary, which can be thought of as a "void" or "vacuum" from the perspective of the bulk. In mathematical terms, if we denote the bulk AdS space by M and the boundary CFT by ∂M, then the AdS/CFT correspondence can be expressed as: Z_CFT[φ] = ∫_φ Dg e^{iS_AdS[g,φ]} where Z_CFT is the partition function of the boundary CFT, S_AdS is the action of the bulk AdS space, and φ is a field on the boundary that corresponds to a source in the bulk. This equation shows that the physics of the bulk AdS space is completely encoded in the physics of the boundary CFT, and that the boundary degrees of freedom are the fundamental entities that give rise to the bulk. The holographic principle suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be lower-dimensional or even dimensionless, and that the apparent three-dimensionality of space may be an emergent or derived concept. This idea is reminiscent of the "flatland" thought experiment in mathematics, where a two-dimensional being living on a plane cannot directly perceive the third dimension, but can nevertheless infer its existence from the behavior of objects in the plane. The fact that the holographic principle provides a natural framework for understanding the emergence of spacetime and the nature of quantum gravity suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be deeply connected to the lower-dimensional or dimensionless aspects of reality. Theorem 15: The concept of quantum entanglement, which refers to the non-classical correlations between quantum systems that cannot be accounted for by local realistic theories, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness. Proof: In quantum mechanics, the state of a composite system is described by a vector in a Hilbert space, which is a tensor product of the Hilbert spaces of the individual subsystems. For example, if we have two quantum systems A and B, with Hilbert spaces H_A and H_B, then the Hilbert space of the composite system is given by: H_AB = H_A ⊗ H_B A state in the composite Hilbert space is said to be entangled if it cannot be written as a tensor product of states in the individual Hilbert spaces: |ψ_AB⟩ ≠ |ψ_A⟩ ⊗ |ψ_B⟩ Entangled states exhibit non-classical correlations that cannot be explained by any local realistic theory, as demonstrated by the violation of Bell's inequalities. The concept of quantum entanglement can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that entangled states are fundamentally non-local and non-separable, and cannot be reduced to the properties of the individual subsystems. In other words, entangled states exist in a "void" or "vacuum" of possibilities, where the individual subsystems lose their independent identities and become part of a larger, holistic entity. This idea is reminiscent of the concept of "non-separability" in mathematics, where a geometric object cannot be decomposed into simpler parts without losing its essential properties. For example, a torus (donut shape) is non-separable, because any attempt to cut it into two parts will destroy its topological structure. The fact that quantum entanglement exhibits non-separability and non-locality suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be holistic and non-reductionistic, and that the properties of the whole cannot be reduced to the properties of the parts. This idea is consistent with the "holographic principle" discussed earlier, which suggests that the degrees of freedom of a region of space are not independent, but rather fundamentally interconnected and encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary. The non-local and non-separable nature of quantum entanglement also suggests that the concept of "locality" and "separability" may be emergent or derived notions, rather than fundamental properties of reality. In other words, the apparent separability and locality of classical physics may be a consequence of the coarse-graining or averaging of underlying quantum degrees of freedom, which are fundamentally non-local and non-separable. Theorem 16: The concept of wave-particle duality, which refers to the fact that quantum entities exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the context of observation, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness. Proof: In quantum mechanics, the state of a quantum system is described by a wave function, which is a complex-valued function on a Hilbert space. The wave function encodes the probabilities of different measurement outcomes, and exhibits wave-like properties such as interference and diffraction. However, when a measurement is performed on the system, the wave function "collapses" to a definite state, and the system exhibits particle-like properties such as localization and discreteness. The concept of wave-particle duality can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that the wave function exists in a "void" or "vacuum" of possibilities, which is not directly observable or measurable. In other words, the wave function represents a "zero mode" or "ground state" of the quantum system, which contains all the information about the system's potential properties and behaviors. When a measurement is performed, the wave function "collapses" to a definite state, and the system's actual properties and behaviors become manifest. This collapse is often seen as a mysterious or paradoxical process, because it seems to involve a sudden change in the system's state, without any apparent cause or mechanism. However, from the perspective of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, the collapse of the wave function can be seen as a natural consequence of the transition from the realm of potentiality to the realm of actuality. In other words, the wave function represents the system's inherent potential or "nothingness", which is not directly observable or measurable, but which contains all the information about the system's possible states and behaviors. When a measurement is performed, this potential is "actualized" or "realized" into a definite state, and the system's actual properties and behaviors become manifest. The fact that quantum systems exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be neither purely continuous nor purely discrete, but rather a complex interplay between the two. This idea is consistent with the concept of "complementarity" in quantum mechanics, which states that the wave-like and particle-like properties of a system are mutually exclusive, but both necessary for a complete description of the system. The wave-particle duality also suggests that the concepts of "continuity" and "discreteness" may be emergent or derived notions, rather than fundamental properties of reality. In other words, the apparent continuity and discreteness of classical physics may be a consequence of the coarse-graining or averaging of underlying quantum degrees of freedom, which exhibit a more subtle and complex interplay between the two.

What is nothing(ness)? Nothing means: no matter, no energy (no radiation, no fields also, no virtual particles), no space, no time, no laws of nature (physics, chemistry), and of course no math (and no chance or possibility, because chance and possibility is also math), because all laws of nature obey math. But there is still something…. even with these all no-s. So nothing, beside this, it means also non physical entities, what ever they might be. By the way, the absence of something is also something…. and so on. In fact, really nothing, doesn’t even exist… So… from nothings comes only nothing, and nothing else excuse the pun. Nothing means also NO causality, because causality is something, and when we are speaking of nothing means also no causality, no logic, and so on, as I mentioned already. If nothingness will be a force (or considered as such), it wouldn’t be nothingness anymore. It will become something…. And something is not nothing.

(<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a>:00) Heat cannot enter an empty container. Heat is the expression of motion - molecules of gas or particles for example. You cannot measure heat otherwise so that statement is meaningless, unless particles can spontaneously appear in the container. Of course you can measure the temperature (heat) of the container, but that does not reflect heat inside, but outside the container presumably. In any case, our brains are dualistic comparators - yin/yang. We can only think in terms of yes/no, hot/cold, empty/full. Doesn’t mean those “ideas” are real.

I am 1 minute 40 seconds in. About this point in the video the narrator speak of something containing a vacuum he states that external heat could enter the box. My school boy physics taught me that, heat is an indications of the degree o excitation of the PARTICLES in the system. My question is how can heat be transferred to a perfectly isolated vacuum, that is devoid of particles. In good faith could somebody explain why my question is based on the premise, thanks.

[@jdlawbooker3938]

I think you kind of hit the proverbial nail on the head. You are maybe talking about conduction or convection of heat. There is also radiation, which does not necessarily "transfer" to an object or system unless there is a particle, object, or system to transfer too. I like your observation though. My issue with this video is that I cannot fathom how anyone can talk about quantum physics without venturing deeper down the rabbit hole of "nonlocality." We like to say that entanglement is a "nonlocal phenomenon" but stop short of saying that the nature of reality is nonlocal. There is the rub. It is not that there is "nothing." It is just that the "something" turns out to be nonlocal, as in a mere projection of sorts to us. It is both "unspeakable" and "mechanical." In other words, a tree that falls alone in the woods with nobody there to hear it will always make a "noise" but in order for there to be "sound" there might need to be someone there --and even still that someone there really would have no perfect definition for the difference between the words "noise" and "sound," but one means a concussive force an object makes and the other the reverberation a being hears.

Nothing exists, of course, but it cannot be observed, because Nothing also means no observer.

[@CommackMark]

It's a play on words and meanings perhaps....but true nothingness is not something that can exist by its own definition....and the physics we have developed seems to show just that. There is something because nothing cannot exist. Doesn't get us very far along the path of understanding the universe though. Need to answer the question of how the things that do exist operate and arise and unfortunately we are limited by our own lack of observational powers. For instance for 3 dimensions to curve back on itself....we can observe how the 2 dimensions of the surface of a 3 dimensional sphere curve back on itself... however we cannot envision a 4th spatial dimension that would need to exist to allow 3 dimensions without boundary to curve back on itself. We may never understand it all because we can only theorize but never observe.

[@robertproffitt9360]

So, guess the quantum fields are our most close to nothing possible...with the uncertainty of what particles and antiparticles will emerge, only known when we measure things and by that creating the observer interference on the concrete results we measure, even if it's different if we don't measure it, so, it's a nothing filled with infinite possibilities, I guess

You have been muddled and befuddled about nothingness in several ways by clueless humans. Allow me to straighten you out... 1. To be something physical, it needs bounds. If it does not have bounds, it does not exist. Nothing is boundless, except... 2. Infinity. Therefore infinity is the background nothingness in which everything exists. 3. This is why you cannot compare your size against infinity - you are trying to compare your size to nothingness. 4. Another aspect to infinity is 'everything'. If you succeed in grabbing everything when there is an infinite amount of things, you have actually grabbed nothing, since everything does not exist, given an infinite number of things. Congratulations. Enjoy your nothingness. Humans have also misconstrued time, but that is another can of worms. Suffice it to say that backwards time travel is an erroneous notion.

I don’t mean to be rude, but all those questions indicate that you have not understood what Nothing(ness) really implies. Before worrying about physics, try to attain a better philosophical handle on / feel for Nothing.

I disagree. Can you explain " nothing" better than he did?

@@kevinpotts123 Now we have a serious problem, because YOU disagree!

@@NothingMaster if you can't do what I asked, that's fine, but your snarky answer tells me that you cannot.

[@ausarbyrd4778]

The human brain cannot fathom nothingness. No youtube video can make us understand nothingness the same way we cannot understand or fathom infinity. The only way would be to enter a higer dimension which isnt a different place from where we are but a different plane. A different state of perception. People who've smoked dmt have been able to experience infinity bc it tunes the "frequency receivers" in your consciousness to a higher dimension is what i believe. We simply cant understand nothingness or infinity with our three dimensional perception.

Are your thoughts considered nothing you are actually using nothing to experience what you see which is all imaginary but for me

Sorry, fella, ain't nuthin' "theoretical" about electromagnetism and gravity, as you airily claim at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="520">8:40</a>. They are both very very real. You need to get a grip on yourself' You're letting yourself be carried away by the sound of your own earnest little voice. The result is just normal average KZbin bloviation, not any big scientific questions -- even if you do try to blow them up with capital letters on them.
