As nothing is nothing it can't have property or existence. The proble is that by saying the word ntohing we are making it some-thing or at least a-thing and then nothing is not nothing but something which then by inverse all somethings would be nothings, then as I am something, I'm notihng. But that has no sense. It's the error of dealing with nothing. Therefore, we cannot say nothing exists, or say there can be anti-nothing. Becuase that woudl imppyl a king od "charge" in nothing, so it would have a property, so it would be something. And anyway, shouldn't the anti-nothing simply be everything?

I'm thinking we were made from anti-nothing, not the nothing that some propose to have started the Big Bang. Yes, it is another word for everything.

Excuse me, Michelle!
You meant that we (i.e. the whole universe) were made from anti-nothing, not from the nothing?
But from what was made anti-nothing itself?
Don't say that it simply always existed.

I'm wondering if the anti-nothing(everything) was the first response to the nothing. I'm just playing around with my thoughts anyway. This one seems to be going nowhere fast. May I kindly withdraw the thought.

I imagine at this point we can only guess as to how many, if any, other universes there are out there. If there any scientific proof or evidence that even gives the slightest hint towards an answer? The only thing I know of is Everett's Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics - but that's only an interpretation and not proof of anything.

I don't think we can rule out that there may be an infinite number of universes out there. I'll agree that infinity doesn't exist in our physical world, but we're talking about what's outside our physical world, where I think anything's game as far as we know. A talking hotdog doesn't exist in our physical world either, but for all we know that could be the universe that's next door.

There’s one way out – the logic is: if this universe really was created from nothing by auto-creation, then “we have” this same nothing “at hand” and this universe must contain the code of it in every its creatures and consisting parts, and there must be a system or mechanism based on it to reveal the relevancy of it as of the main regularity of the universe.

And believe me, such system really exists…

If we call universe the infinite number of all different credibility taken together, then this single universe contains in itself all infinite various possibilities, so we can call it one universe anyway.

Perhaps it would be more palatable to take that we are descendants from the everything rather than the nothing?

It would be, but I don’t think there is any other credibility, so I try to accept it as it is (i.e. as my mind can guess)…

It is suprising as to how important the nothing is to Big Bang theory and the universe, at least one, that is.
