The importance of Nothing - reloaded
- by P.K.Odendaal - May 2014.
(Be
prepared for heavy reading - sorry!)
It is
just logical and right that, on this quest for reality and the stuff it is made
of, I should start at or with Nothing. Here I am not referring to our normal
concept of nothing like having nothing, feeling nothing, or doing nothing, but
rather to the more purist interpretation thereof, namely absolutely Nothing.
It
amazes me that we know absolutely nothing about Nothing, whilst we know such a
lot about Something. Maybe we should have started to know something about
Nothing before we started to know something about Something. That might have
given us a better understanding on Something, but here we are, as always,
starting somewhere midfield and exploring sideways and ending on the sidelines.
