There are so many orbitals, gravitational phenomena and rotations to take into account that each keystroke in the post you're reading happened in a completely different place.


I've always thought of time as physical processes, eg, "See you when the earth has completed 7 rotations on it's axis".

Well that's very vague. Existing at the same time on Earth? or existing at the same time in an omnipotent way? Time is synonymous to the concept of nothing, it's an infinite paradox. Something came from nothing, yet nothing is created by something. As I see it the probability is %33.333333333....., because in nothing terms it's the only probability that can exist and continue onwards without ever hitting a complete 100 in which metaphysical things cannot exist.

ask yourself the question "How could nothing exist?" and the questions that lead on from it. Night-time trying to sleep.

Haha I love asking myself these type of questions. I think along the same lines only I ask the question: where did all the space come from, then I come to question what is space, what governs the space, and why is it necessary to have space.

The question I have is, is there a paradox involved as in, nothing is always something?

Nothing is like a law of science, you can't feel them touch them or see them yet they still exist, nor do these laws exist within your brain's impulses, nor are they ideals. Nothing is like y to the -1 power, nothing can be of negative quantity yet two negative quantities equal an existent quantity, -1 times -1= 1
*Note:I'm using two different types of nothing....

What is nothing though, because the empty black void of space is still something :D

NOTHING EXISTS.

THE only animals that 'see' nothing are humans.

Truly, IT's that simple.

No Thing exists.

Same as the tree that falls with no one to hear IT.

NO THING EXISTS.

If you can see that tree now it exists.

If not, it does not exist.

IT EXISTS FOR ME.

HOW ABOUT YOU.

BUT NO, IT IS NOT THE SAME TREE IF IT EXISTS FOR BOTH OF US, IN IMAGINATION OR NOT.

THEREFORE nothing EXISTS.

The probability that we exist is we don't exist. Lol haha brilliant

Believe in everything and nothing

We can be nothing yet still exist. Black Holes teach us this.

'Believe in everything and nothing'

That IS the answer I AM looking for.

Thanks for providing IT.

To narrow IT down further,
per what the Oracle says
at the end AND beginning of
the Matrix Trilogy:

ONE word WILL DO.

But only ONE sentiment WILL WORK.

'BELIEVE'

Black holes aren't nothing, they're super-dense. They're about as far from nothing as you can get.

They seem like nothing though they aren't. Maybe there isn't such a thing as nothing?

Frankly I'm not convinced we do all exist at the same time. If reality is a simulation, then an enormous portion of the human population might actually be aspects of the simulation, rather than whatever actual human beings are. In which case the actual human population might be as low as a thousand. Or one.

I believe in infinite, so the possibilities are infinite, so I could even say our universe is a black hole and that 0 = nothing/space, and it's infinite. And 1 = something/matter and is also infinite.

Question is where are we in the infinite scale?

We are all infinitely infinent in an infinitely infinent universe governed by times infiniteness

I am one of the real persons.

And you're obviously a simulated person. Probably a hippopotamus masquerading as a human-banging away on a custom made keyboard.
