The Value of Nothingness..

Nothing.. what do you think about nothing? well maybe you think..it's just nothing means zero,

just the absence of value. or is it?

Ok let's unpack what does it mean by 'Nothing', the word suppose to refer to absolute absence of any thing or in philosophical term "Nothingness" refers to state of non-existence.

However if you think more about it, you might ended up wondering whether nothingness such as defined really exists?

If such absolute non-existence thing exists, how do we even gain information/knowing about it since nothing contains zero information whatsoever and also we cannot observe/witness nothing when nothing doesn't exists.

Therefore it is logical to conclude that nothingness is a mere concept which seemingly has no real implication in real world. But don't be too sure about the logic though.

In many mainstream religious culture it is believed that God brings out the existence of universe ex nihilo or in simple term "out of nothing", in the mainstream scientific theory of how universe began, it is well known that Big Bang Cosmology states that universe at some point started from explosion at single point of space and time

Despite of how many theorem or thoughts of how everything began from nothing, the question remains the same, how can something emerges from a state of non-existence which have no value whatsoever. If nothing is the absence of existence at all how can nothing ever give birth to something if not because nothing itself carries potential value.

In the example of how life began from the state of lifeless/non-alive and death is also a lifeless state then what is the value of death? it seems like as if death itself valued with any subjective means, the ability of our mind to comprehend death arise from our brain capability to think abstractly beyond what our senses present to us.

But as death is state of non-living then what's the value of death relative to life itself? supposed to be nothing right... objectively that might be the case but our living mind seem to comprehend the role of death in giving life itself meaning, as we know how our life is limited by space & time, the urgency of scarcity to experience life itself before we return to dust. However that the death is what give life meaning is also Subjective intepretation.

Based on the example of death above it seem to me that even nothing itself can be intepreted to store potential value, if a state of non-existence never give birth to any existence of being at all then it remain valueless according to our current existing mind.

Given how many possibilities of emergence for existence out of nothing, and knowing that we exists, it means in the overall objective existence, nothing itself can have potential value, however what is the source of potential values still remains a question.

The main interesting existential question regarding this very topic are..

• Does existence is the result of the inevitable potential value from nothing?

• Does state of existence and nothingness is part of the cycle of nature? just like eternal cyclical universe..

• Does nothing always carry potential value for the emergence of existence? if so what is it that can contribute to the potentiality of nothing?

All of these questions can boil down to the fundamental question of...

Whether or not absolute nothingness exists at all?

Which we don't think it can, if nothing can ever carry potential value for existence then wouldn't it mean that the nothingness we're talking about has some capacity for information/energy so that any existing potential can be stored?

In law of physics of the universe we live in, we do understand that law of conservation of energy always seem to have this balance sheet for the quantity matter and energy into a balance account The second law of thermodynamics as quoted from energyeducation.ca/

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside

Energy within this "closed system universe" as we know it simply transfer energy from one form form to another, but energy as the currency of existence remains stable within the closed system unless getting supplied from outside of the system itself.

What does this imply?

This is a clue that perhaps existence is arose from priomordial form of energy from outside of our known universe, it may confirm the long held belief of religious people that God or entity outside of our universe closed-system created the universe.

Therefore God is the source of potential existence, now what about God? if God is outside the space-time continuum of our universe it might be the case that he does exists in different dimension and perhaps an eternal being, since God may experience no time or maybe experience time in different way than how we perceive time as the natural order of on-going events.

If God is eternal being then.. there is really no absolute nothing, unless God exists in within one of series number of multiversal continuum of hyper-spatial dimension we know nothing about.. and perhaps there are space where absolute nothingness does exists but if so just like what mentioned before, if absolute nothingness exists how do we gain knowledge/information about it?

Aren't we a prisoner in the realm of existence? meaning.. we may only capable of knowing things that are already existing. Maybe..
