Keep on educating us for it is significant that we understand what goes on around us, the earth, the seasons, the gravity pull, atoms, protons, molecules, et al. Wish you all the best.

It's trivial to describe non-physical/made-up things. That doesn't make them "a thing" but they are non-scientific. And that's the problem with talking about "nothing" in physics, because it's impossible to have a theory without starting from something. And if you define nothing as the absence of that, then the definition of nothing is non-scientific.

In science, the concept of "nothing" often challenges our understanding, as it can imply a vacuum, a state devoid of matter, or a theoretical absence of existence. This notion plays a critical role in fields like quantum mechanics and cosmology, where "nothing" can have profound implications. How might ongoing research into quantum fluctuations and the nature of voids further reshape our comprehension of what "nothing" truly means in the universe?

"The concept you're describing aligns closely with what some philosophical and spiritual traditions refer to as "absolute nothingness" or "the Void." This notion transcends even the concept of Sunyata in Buddhism, which deals with the emptiness of intrinsic nature but still acknowledges the interdependent existence of phenomena. In the highest sense, this "total, complete emptiness" would be beyond all physical, conceptual, and descriptive boundaries. It implies a state where there is no existence of any kind-not even the potential for existence, such as virtual particles or physical laws. This form of nothingness is often considered ineffable, meaning it cannot be described or conceptualized within the limits of human language and thought. Such a concept is often approached in mystical and metaphysical contexts rather than in scientific or philosophical discourse, where even the idea of describing "nothing" falls short. It is the ultimate transcendence of all dualities, concepts, and even the self-referential act of naming or describing. This idea pushes the boundaries of human cognition and language, pointing towards a profound and paradoxical state of pure, unconditioned nothingness." "Manjusri asked, World-honored one, what is the state of the unconditioned? Buddha said, The absence of thought is the state of the unconditioned." (Unconditioned in this context is referring to the awakened mind of a Buddha. It has not been taught that there is any difference good or bad, great or small, between the body, speech and mind of a Buddha, and the body, speech and mind of a sentient being. Your mind is already peaceful when still, and clearly apparent while in motion. This clarity and emptiness are nondual. Your mind is the Buddha from the very beginning. All thoughts and all dharmas (phenomena) are self-liberated into their own essence in the very instance of their arising. ❤😊

If you think about the time before you were born and didn't exist that would be "nothing" except we can't visualise, remember or imagine that because it doesn't have any connection with your existence. True "nothing" is completely incomprehensible but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

No guys stop it please... you're just TOO GOOD together. I watched "oh god" (after Neil said "quantum physics") at least 4 times. I know this comment will drop into nothingness, but how much I would love an answer on the question I'm about to write. I found strong similarities(if not exact same concepts) with quantum physics and some of the eastern cultures. Some concepts about Buddhism are so similar to quantum physics that its terrific. I really can't take my head of this thought: the fact that they seemed to have focused their research into the existential and experiential side of the spectrum of life. Differently from the western culture which has developed the "external" research. We're directed outward. They are inward. If I'm not exaggerating in this next words, we could say that science, even with its own beautiful and surely useful efforts, finds itself in front of a wall when trying to determine what consciousness might be. Simply because you can't prove it exists. Question is: If there is nothing to observe, but you can still experience or describe nothing (as you two were saying), who is doing that? Who is experiencing suthing?? Who can describe nothing? I'm asking who's the operator doing this operation. Other question, connected to this one is: If I knew every atom in your body, would I know who you are? "Who" is the question that these cultures have explored and they seemed to have touched the same exact results that science has. Which makes perfect sense to me. In fact, as long as everything is life, even ourselves, if we start a research from one side or the other (if the objective is the same: truth) the result should still be the same. You're meddling with the same thing: "reality", just from two different directions. Though, if the fact that science limits itself to what it can prove, also obviosuly suggests that if there were to be things that are unprovable but still existing, then you can't say that you're looking for the theory of everything. And you'll never know that, because you can't prove them. I think it's a very basic logical "mistake" (please don't get me wrong I'm absolutely not saying that science is useless.... away... far away from that. I'm just saying that it should not be too strict in its approaches, even though they might be very useful as they certainly are. Though, if you want to be strict, and just observe what is provable with your method, then say that you're looking for the theory of something. Or of some part of this reality, and not of everything. Certainly, if existing things that can't be proven by science exist, as consciousness might be, science will never know about them. So I'm just suggesting an exchange of points of views between these two wonderful ways of research. I love science, I love this reality, I love these two guys spreading happiness and beautiful information together.

I have often pondered this nothing. I think of it this way, if you did as he describes in a box of space where there is nothing. If you walked into this box, you would instantly come out the other side. As if this box was not there at all. So you could perceive this box as being there and you would see a person hit one side of it, and come out the other. It would be a perfect teleportation device. What I always think about though is, if you got as far out in the universe as it can be, when would you ever stop going, there can never be an ending. Ever. What would be the ending? A wall? Surely a wall permits that if you drilled a hole in it, then something is on the other side. Then I think, well what if it is just that, a wall with no end, okay, then how far could one travel through that wall. Indefinitely for sure. This line of thinking can be paralleled to the size of objects. There could never be a max size of anything or a smallest anything. Certainly we could only detect a certain smallest size or largest size. All that means is our instrumentation can only go so far based one what we know and technology. But if you kept shrinking an object down and down and down. It would never disappear. Certainly we would stop being able to see it due to our lack of technology to do so, but to the object it would still be there, getting smaller and smaller still. With no end. What then would the universe look like to this object. Well, if it sees things as a human would, then it would look like the blackness of space, but if it sees things differently, could detect all particles, it would seem as if it were in an ocean. Now, imagine we have gotten so small, to the point of being undetectable by anything, and you introduce this box as he describes, but this box is now also the size in correlation to this thing we have shrunk down as the box we were thinking of before is to the size of the human, so now what we have is an undetectable shrunk down object and an undetectable box slightly bigger than said object. Now, the important bit, lets say we could see these objects. If said shrunken down object hits one side of the box, it would instantly come out the other side of said box. It would appear to us that this shrunken down object has disappeared and is no longer detectable and then all of the sudden detectable again. As if for a moment it no longer existed at all. Now let us imagine that these pockets of nothingness are in fact everywhere. Permeating our everything. Our cells, trees, planets the fabric of space, everything. All of the sudden it makes more sense why these particles scientist are trying to detect that they believe are there but as soon as they would be able to see them, they are gone and replaced by something else. Since there can never truly be nothing because if there is you would pass through it as instantly as you pass through your front door. These "smallest" particles or whatever they are calling them, are just passing through pieces of nothing. This is where I always land. And it hurts my head when I get there. Since nothing is not possible, as if it is possible you would NEVER be able to detect it in any way because the very existence of nothing would mean you passed through it like you pass through a door, means that nothing is very much something. Something that exists. At very very undetectably small levels across everything, everywhere. It is at this point where I ponder if we will ever understand this, it may very well be that our very nature, our very makeup, means that we never will be able to actually understand it. Even given the understanding of it, we wouldn't be able to grasp it. A scientist would call this a point where we just need more data in order to understand it, but I think, on this point, we lack the ability to ever grasp it regardless of knowledge. Not unlike tasking a tree to watch television, or asking a blade of grass to calculate mathematics. I think this might be where the idea of parallel universes came into existence. If we exist in one way, and they exist in another, we couldn't detect each other, we just pass through each other as if we aren't there to the other. It is ridiculous, yet also completely plausible. It is nothing, but it is also something. It makes everything that doesn't make sense, make sense, yet even as I write this it makes no sense. The knowledge exists, but it doesn't. There is nothing, but in that nothing there is something. And yes, I know I have a messed up brain. For what it is worth, I don't actually ever verbalize this nonsense.

The best he's done is go the M theory route which is FUNDAMENTAL to have a multiverse existence to explain the elegant math behind our current quantum mecanical model . We are lucky in that our universe is able to house life at just the right conditions. We must work to preserve our species and escape the fate of physics in our world. One that is governed by entropy.

I beg to differ. The reason we think of a box of air as containing "Nothing" is NOT because we can't see it. It is because in our every day experience, it is a given that every box contains air, especially if we open it in a space with an atmosphere. A box of water would not be called empty. But if we opened it under water, even though we can see the water, we would say it was empty.

Si, ya hace muchos años eso lo estuvimos comentando entre unos amigos, teníamos 14 años o así. Se decía que en castellano decimos "no hay nada/nadie" (is nothing/nobody) para referirnos a ello, cuando "no hay nada" sería como decir nada = 0 cosas, nadie = 0 personas. Por lo tanto "no hay nadie" sería igual que decir "no hay 0 personas", luego habrá al menos una. Con lo de "no hay nada" es lo mismo. Es como decir que "hay algo"... Es una doble negación, que en principio es absurda y está mal puesta, pero en realidad al estar tan normalizada desde siempre, no se confunde nadie con ello. Salvo quien lo escuchase desde fuera, que sí podría confundirle esto.

Here is a thought: even if you had "nothing-nothing", are you describing it's contents (or lack thereof) or the confinement it exists in and separates it from the rest of the world? If laws of nature and physics don't apply, then how do we even observe it from the outside? How do we even know it is there? You wouldn't be able to travel into it to find out - and even if you did you wouldn't be able to think... or even exist - since laws of physics don't apply.

I hope this doesn't sound jaded, but this channel and these episodes and Neil deGrasse Tyson are such a perfect, beautiful antidote to the avalanche of agenda-driven disinformation we are bombarded with on a daily basis. If we could re-energize our wonder, awe, curiosity, and respect for our planet (and beyond) with science evangelists like NdGT, our lives would transform overnight (or approximately 86,400 seconds).

This is what I'm curious about, is there a such thing as a complete absense of any information or potential information? (nothing) If this doesn't exist, what implications does that have for cosmology? If you'll forgive me a foolish thought, thinking "before" the origin of our universe, was the state of existence close to nothing? I will be bold and say that there was some kind of spark that ignited the big bang, it seems the most logical view, since an abundance of activity branching from inactivity seems so improbable.

well, he technically did talk about something. He described what it means to have nothing, and because nothing is directly proportional to something, we can infer the limits of something.
