I think it can be extended further, guys, because the one and none creates a dichotomy paradox that is unresolvable if the "two" absolutes are kept separate. And that is what both the ancients and modern physicists have done.
Consider the Yin and Yang or its TaiChi function, which is a fair enough analogy, but beyond this separation concept and function is the WuChi.
Everything and Nothing does not create a paradox when you say it this way "Everything and nothing Else!"
For the sake of clarity, what would happen if you superimposed nothing onto everything? Nothing would happen. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference because nothing is see-through. Nothing is see-through and that's why it looks so dark. Nothing is merely the medium which the light travels through and everything is defined by the LIGHT. So light is all divideded up by a bunch of nothing, which means that in essence all light creates ONE SINGLE undivided field. Hence the mathematical term, 1/0. It makes perfect sense and it is how you translate math into english. It'll take about a million years to sink in though. Hopefully the Guardians won't be too dissappointed by then.
Good point MK. What particular word we use to define everything is not important. In the end, it is even true that nothing and everything are the same thing in essence, only mirror images of eachother. So it is a matter of principle you see.
1/0
-----
0/1
The line in between the two is the mirror. simply mirror images of eachother.
also can be expressed as follows
2/0
-----
0/2
or as such
3/0
-----
0/3
so you see the operator is not what's important. What's important is that we understand the coincidence of opposites. The fact that everything when you disect it is made out of a force that has two sides. One of them is yin, the other yang. One is male, the other female. One is north pole, the other is south. THat is all there is to it. So whether we want to call it 1/0 or 0/1, or 2/0 or 0/2, it doesn't matter, as long as we understand the principles of opposites and everything works out in a circular fashion.
That makes sense to me POK,absolutely.Ying and Yang to me are the primal vortexes
of existence.

I guess I'm not as easy to please as Michael, POK. The "everything and nothing else" is paradoxical because it must be separated from non-existence by definition. The same doesn't apply if we were to say, "nothing and nothing else." The latter implies only absolute non-existence; the former implies absolute existence and absolute non-existence.
Also, "nothing" isn't see through, like black space lacking color, but the non-existence of color, lack of color, and space itself. And my position and argument is based on what you stated about the medium of light being nothing. Literal things can't move through that which doesn't exist, unless the light itself doesn't exist either.
It is resolved, to me anyhow, by using your Yin/Yang concept that has been thought to arise from WuChi. The WuChi has been said to both exist and not at the same time, but it becomes very confusing. Instead, I consider an infinite number of non-dimensional points that don't literally change the state of the universe. Only the perspective changes whereby an infinite amount of space can be "superimposed" over time, which is relative to speed. 0+0+0+0+0+0 ad infinitum equals 0.
I think "one" can be in a state of confusion if literal motion is at play, pif. Otherwise, without motion, it is the same as non-existence.
The same doesn't apply to "none" because there is no chance for anything to be confused.
When you persist beyond existence and non-existence,you will eventually arrive at
LIFE ITSELF,which lies way beyond the reach of THIS and THAT,way beyond YING and YANG.way,way,beyond POSITIVE and NEGITIVE,IT lies in ITSELF which is ALL of ALL
and just literally and factually and any other ally you care to mention just IS!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly, Michael. The WuChi is beyond the Yin and Yang, and the TaiChi which is the functioning of the Yin and Yang.
When the Yin and Yang are absolutely unified, it is none, not one. So what we think just "IS" isn't that. Existence implies the existence of this and that, but non-existence is neither.
