Ok me and and my friend are arguing if nothing exists, I'm saying yes and he says no because say if an astronout was in space just floating, what would be around him? i say just atoms and just matter and my friend says it's nothing and nothings exists between objects in space, so which one of us is right? Thanks blades!
[quote name='"THCdelta11"']nothingness does exist, it's the part of the universe where no matter is in existance.[/quote] This is the friend that I'm arguing with irl haha he's right next to me, everything is matter and is made out atoms
I'm gonna go with subatomic particles filling the empty space. There has to be something there. It doesn't necessarily need to be solid.
it can even be waves of something. weather you seethem or not there is always something there. i think to say nothing does exist would rule out that you cant destroy things completly or really create them either. idk
have you ever heard of a vacuum? i'm pretty sure it's considered space void of matter. thats why we call it 'space' something like 80% of the known universe is dark matter and nonexistent if we are speaking in terms of human experience.... we live in a sliver of reality nonexistence exists, if that settles your argument.
nothingness is a mistaken concept. anti-matter is the closest thing to nothing. of course there are points where matter doesnt exist, but these are points where anti-matter prevails
Nothing doesn't exist, space itself is tangible and bends. Proof, gravity is caused from space bending, their is observational evidence of this as well. If you look at a galaxy far away with a telescope, you will also see that if their is a galaxy directly behind the one your looking at, you will see four mirror copies of that galaxy, because the space around the first galaxy will literally bend the light so we can see what is directly behind it. Space itself is tangible, however it is possible that true vacuum (space being false vacuum) exists, and that as matter and space expand in the universe ie from the big bang, space will begin to degrade. Some theorize the universe will end this way, and literally space will rip itself apart to true vacuum. All theories of course, not actually fully proven, but quantum mechanics point to this as a possibility. Look up the "Big Rip" if you want more information, its one of the theories of how the universe will end, up there with the Big Crunch, and a few others. If that theory is correct though, then space itself isn't even true nothingness.
If there where "nothing" between the Earth and the Moon, they would be touching. Absolute nothing is incomprehensible.
there is one hydrogen atom every cubic meter im pretty sure. atleast its something along those lines.
