So put on salt. what I meant is that nothing is everything, because if something were everything then it wouldn’t be nothing ( which it isn’t, because it is something) Plus anything could technically be something, though it cant be nothing although technically you are right that everything would imply the inclusion of nothing. However , real world semantics show that anything can be nothing, however everything can not be nothing
Plus, If you have nothing, then you have everything, because you have the freedom to believe anything without the fear of losing something. yet, The most interesting part of everything is nothing. If nothing exist, how can anything be there do anything, without

Or a Transfiguration professor.

June 23, 2014 2:00 pm at 2:00 pm #1021498writersoulParticipantAha, rebyidd, that puts a whole new spin on things.
Perhaps objects in nonbeing have their atoms king of vacuumed up into everything else….
(That actually kind of sounds awesome- if I’m wrong don’t tell me.)

June 26, 2014 1:22 pm at 1:22 pm #1021500jewishfeminist02MemberImagine you’re baking a cake. The recipe calls for two eggs. Once you remove the cake from the oven, if someone were to ask you, “What happened to those two eggs?” you could reply that they are in the cake. But unless you’re a particularly terrible baker, you would not be able to distinguish the eggs from the other ingredients in the cake. You could say only that they had assimilated into the entire volume of the cake.
Now imagine the cake is the universe. Once you Vanish the eggs, their matter permeates the universe, but they no longer exist as distinct objects. Therefore they are at once part of “nonbeing” and “everything”.

The universe is just one big cream cake.
Yum.
