"nothing" is abstract
Nothing is as abstract as Being.
The creation of nothing as a concept that may have sprouted from the realization of being is very logical to me. But whether these concepts --- nothing and being --- are akin to anti-matter and matter may not be parallel. Not even congruent. A fundamental component of matter such as the electron has its corresponding anti-matter counterpart, that is the positron. Both are almost tangible and are therefore more related to being.
I may be in the wrong for considering nothing and being in the same thought cloud as anti-matter and matter, but this whole exercise is worth pursuing to me. I woke up and thought, "If nothing is the absence of anything....anything, being something that is existential, then nothing should be the absolute absence of being. Is that even possible? If you remove absolutely everything, one might consider a blacked out universe. The presence of dark matter? I'm not a physicist, but dark matter has such extreme energy...probably the pinnacle of being that anything that has less energy becomes sucked into it like a vacuum.
So "nothing" is just a convenient concept and cannot be proven? The theory of the Big Bang even supposes the existence of gravity prior to the great explosion. So nothing was impossible even then..." It's not even in the vicinity of abstract concepts such as beauty or love or courage which can be exemplified or felt or described. Nothing is the absolute absence of being. And it can't even be felt, truly exemplified or fully described.
I pity Nothing.
It isn't really as abstract as Being.
It just isn't.
