nothing means nothingness

Quote by: jamesj
I will approach the idea of Nothing, in particular an Absolute Nothing being in existence; i.e. Absolutely Nothing existing as an entity.

Nothingness can be compared to infinity as both are inestimable. Just as "nature abhors a vacuum"(1), the logical western mind abhors infinities or the concept of nothingness.!

However, western science is accepting metaphysical like events, such as nano particle duality. I suspect macro duality will soon be proved as fact. jamesj, I would like a precise definiation of nothingness, if possible. for example :

Within this universe with its natural laws "nothing" can only exist as a concept.

Outside this universe there are forces that are not confined to natural law.So, nothing doesnt exist "there" either.

So does, nothingness express total nothingness?

Its time to (re)abuse a relational product, and i think i will do nothing while i think about nothingness!
