Talk:nothing

I'm pretty sure "nothing" is also used as a noun and as a number. Hippietrail 00:10, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Nothing.

In the pure sense 'nothing" in the pure sense existed only before the world existed, and will exist in the end, when not anything else exists.

Nothing, would be infinite and perfect, where the beginning, the middle and the end, would be the same; a trinity of sorts.

My theory is that this concept, "this word", is the biblical word referred to in the bible, Genesis.

Problem is what dimensions does 'nothing' exist when something is created and exists ?

Does something exist in 'nothing', or is 'nothing' the outer dimensions of 'something' where 'something is travelling beyond the speed of speed ? Where time and space do not exist ?

Hope this may open some doors to discussion.

Cleanup proposals

First two pronoun definitions seem to overlap a lot. Don't we need an exaggerative sense "very little"? Similar to "none" meaning "very few" and "forever" meaning "a very long time". What's the difference between the noun and the pronoun? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:37, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

nothing but

nothing but is sometimes used in the predicate following a form of the verb be to emphasize equivalence with the subject, even when plural: "Turkeys that are nothing but cooking pouches with legs"
