there's no difference because there's no such think as nothing. Nothing is something in it self is int i mean u open a box and its empty nothing there? well empty space is there so its something. If nothing is happening right now the nothingness is happening sure its a different result from what u expected but its a result never the less so its something.
haha lol it may not be proper philosophy just some random thoughts directed to a general direction but hey its somthing and its better then nothing. Instead of bitching plz in lighten us oh great stoned philosopher.
your an idiot. nothingness does not exist. in your example, you do not open the box and say look there is nothing.. because there is. if we wanna get technical. (which i do just to prove you wrong.) there are molecules of air. but nothing is the lack of something therefore there can be no relation at all.
haha 'nothing' is the joke of humanity. Our thoughts are composed of 'things'. We have this 'thing' that we apply to any domain which we cannot apply any other 'thing' that is, if we cannot see any 'thing' then we revert to this concept 'nothing' but we can never escape the fact that we can only think in 'things' because if we were to think of 'nothing' we would have no way of realising that we were
BRO BRO BRO!! omg i this was one of my main thoughts of this mushrooms trip i had, I CAME to an interesting conclusion, listen... something and nothing is INDIFFERENT. nothing is full of something, and something is full of nothing. nothingness does not exist and something-ness does not exist, we are all one. Thats what i believe. nothing has millions of molecules, micro electic volts (other elements as well), empty space. so really it is far more complex than something you would define as "nothing" and something can be NOTHING, its all up to you, for example...aaaaa shoecan be nothing, dending on how u think about it. a shoe is made of leather and rubber, leather comes from animals' skins, animals skins and animals in general are just as complex as humans and what are you humans? what IS the human body? i shitload of different molecules and magnetic force, and different elements. same with rubber. it all comes down to the elements and molecules and "empty" space when though about in an abstract way. then the most critical decision is upto the invidual. are elements molecules and empty space Something? or nothing? it can be as simple or as complex as you make it to be, it is infinite or simply unexistant if u make it to be.
everything in the world breaks down to the same basic materials/ and elements. everything cycles. everything eventually decomposses, how does the world RUN if there is NOTHING-ness everywhere? i DONT believe in nothingness, SOMETHING is always happening weather WE SEE IT OR NOT.
Man oh man u are a real hater stoned philosopher yeas thats what I meant but if u forget this tread was suppose to be philosophical so I didn't wanted to get technical but here goes. Even in the empty es of places like an empty box opened in cosmos the supposedly pure vacuum of empty space is actually a place teeming with activity. It’s not that there is any matter floating around there but quantum physics says that there is a bustle of particles temporarily popping in and out of existence its calld zero point energy am not sure but its some sort of energy waves that travel from all directions at light speed they s waves are made well out of nothing substantial but when they collide they create temporal particles. When u think about our universe now its got matter and energy's but eventually stars will burn out more and more black holes will appear and eat all there is even atoms have expiration date sooner or later even the black holes will vanish in a cloud of radiation and the universe shall be dark empty place nothing more. Some would say theres nothing there anymore but when u remove all other energy from the system zero point energy is always there its impossible to remove it. Wait long enuf and zero point energy will pop a whole atom in to existents not just temporal particles given infinite time it could potentially pop anything in to existents even a new big bang. In infinite sea of time even the weirdies phenomena,anomalies,enigmas will happen. so yea as i said before theres no such thing as nothingness there's always something there.
does anyone kind of understand what i was trying to explain above?? does it make sense? or am i just being a stoner lol??????
You just explained the concept of emptyness. I remember JAck Kerouac explaining it in Dharma Bums. I believe it has implications with the Buddhist philosophy.
