Question

Is Nothing Something? Explain your Reasoning?

Answer 1

Ask a woman whats wrong and she will say 'nothing is wrong' when we men all know there is 'something' wrong.

So even though we are told there is 'nothing', there is always 'something'.

Its just waiting to find out what that 'something' is.

Answer 2

There is no universal nothingness, Nothing is the absence of something, you look in an empty glass; I ask what do you see, you reply; nothing.... but is there really nothing or massive number of electrons, protons and neutrons.  

Answer 3

Try doing math without zeroes!  

Answer 4

Yes, according to quantum mechanics,  from nothing (vacuum) can come particles and anti particles.

Answer 5

Been playing so much with vague pronouns.

Grammar: Yes. Nothing could be the antecedent of Something.

Physics: No. Nothing is null. A virtually existing concrete object cannot be at the same time virtually non-existent.

Reality: Choose either one.

Answer 6

Yes as you can make something out of nothing!

Answer 7

Yes, nothing is something.  Everything

has to be accounted for.  Vast space,

even, has particles.

Answer 8

I agree with many of the above answers,--nothing does not exist. Yet, conceptually, negation, zero, null class, etc do exist. Along with the 'stuff' of the universe, there also exists the 'stuff' of the Logos, which is, fundamentally, what allows judgments concerning the existence of of anything to be affirmed or denied. I believe that all part's of existence are associated with certain parts of the Logos, the most fundamental part of the Logos being, being-what-is-not-while-not-being-what-i... This expression reduces to a double negation where one negative connects to what we call environment (not being what is) while the other negative  connects to what we call freedom or change (being what is not). Bottom line, not, not being (the purest form of unity) implies divinity while, at the same time, Logos evolution occurs culminating in the Logic of analysis, the Logic used to make judgments concerning truth/falsity, and existence/nonexistence. Therefore, negation (a form of nothingness) precedes both nothing (in the conceptual sense) and existence (in the material sense), and in an odd sort of way suggests that Nothing actually is Something!    

Answer 9

'nothing' is a concept, therefor it exists as the absence of 'something'. 'Nothing' physically does not exist...there has always been something out there.  Energy, matter and/or a divine plan  

Answer 10

Its what I did in school

Answer 11

Yes, nothing is something. If it wasn't something, then it would be nothing.

Answer 12

(Null Physics) straight from a text book.....

Everything From Nothing:

the nonexistence of any given element is the existence of the rest:

What is it [the universe] made of at the smallest level?

Answer 13

Yes it is.

It is an end result or state that allows one to a determine choice of action.

Answer 14

Nothing is most assuredly something. Look at your home you have four walls(something) which are used to house a space to hold things. The space is empty it is nothing, but that nothing is of great use it lets you keep warmth in it, all of your personal belongings, it lets you live in it. You can live in the nothing of it can you live in the something of the wall?

Answer 15

Labeling nothingness with the word "nothing" does not mean it is something, its simply a describing word and therefore your "metaphysical" concept on that matter does not ultimately change its property.

Answer 16

Is Nothing Something?

No.

Explain your Reasoning?

Reason is how one 'thing' affects another.  One cannot reason about nothing, because there is nothing to reason about.
