Well kids, if ya weren’t confused before, you will be by the end of this article.

I subscribe to a site called ‘Live Science’ and it’s got all sorts of cool stuff in it.
One article caught my attention this morning.

With shades of “Seinfeld” thrown in, scientists had a big conference and discussion about “NOTHING” at the American Museum of Natural History this week.

Nothing?

Not quite! It turned out to be something after all.

Listen to this!

The simple idea of nothing, a concept that even toddlers can understand, proved surprisingly difficult for the scientists to pin down, with some of them questioning whether such a thing as nothing exists at all.The first, most basic idea of nothing — empty space with nothing in it — was quickly agreed not to be nothing.
In our universe, even a dark, empty void of space, absent of all particles, is still something.
“It has a topology, it has a shape, it’s a physical object,” philosopher Jim Holt said during the museum’s annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate, which this year was focused on the topic of “The Existence of Nothing.”
As moderator Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the museum’s Hayden Planetarium, said, “If laws of physics still apply, the laws of physics are not nothing.” [Endless Void or Big Crunch: How Will the Universe End?]
Deeper nothing
But there is a deeper kind of nothing, argued theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State University, which consists of no space at all, and no time, no particles, no fields, no laws of nature. “That to me is as close to nothing as you can get,” Krauss said.
Holt disagreed.
“Is that really nothing?” he asked.”There’s no space and there’s no time. But what about physical laws, what about mathematical entities? What about consciousness? All the things that are non-spatial and non-temporal.”
Still, Holt said he wasn’t won over by that definition either, and wasn’t convinced that nothing actually exists.
Ultimately, the definition of nothing may just be an ever-moving target, shifting with every scientific revolution as new insights show us what we thought was nothing is really something.
“OR, maybe nothing will ever be resolved,” Tyson said.

All this discussion is well and good, but let’s take a deeper look!
(How can you look at nothing, you ask?)

The very concept of “nothing” depends on a premise somewhere between Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and Schrödinger’s cat. (If you watch ‘The Big Bang Theory’ you will know what this is!)

Nothing is something, and the very act of thinking about it makes it something!

(Just like that bear that had a shit in the woods……………… just before a tree fell on him!)

And ya know what’s weird folks?

THIS WHOLE THING STARTED BECAUSE I SAT IN FONT OF THE COMPUTER THIS MORNING AND THOUGHT I HAD NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT!
