Can you imagine nothing in a world of nothing?

To answer the original question: I can, if it's a very small world.

With all this talk, I don't think anyone here is going to get their flower shower.
Flower Shower
Subhuti was Buddha's disciple. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness, the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity.
One day Subhuti, in a mood of sublime emptiness, was sitting under a tree. Flowers began to fall about him.
"We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness," the gods whispered to him.
"But I have not spoken of emptiness," said Subhuti.
"You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness," responded the gods. "This is true emptiness." And blossoms showered upon Subhuto as rain.

If nothing does not exist then "0" can not exist but it does because both "0" and nothing are artifial construcs made people to find value in the something that was there. take a theft for ex. when something is taken you are left with nothing, but that is not true you are left with a void. That is were the something used to be thus that void and be considerd nothing, but nothing (no-thing as was mentioned early) is described as a lack there of something. So if something s needed for nothing to be understood. Nothing can't exist with out something having been erased from existence .:rip:

Speak for yourself you old hag. :angel:

Nothing is the sum of all that is and all that is not. It is everything.

Wow, nothing gets by you I see. I thought that was obvious :)

Which part was obvious? just the fact that you did add something? or is it that because you agreed with my definition of nothing, which I said does not exist at all, you made a paradoxical statement by adding you have nothing to add? you have something that does't exist to add yet by doing so you added something that does exist.

I actually thought that was quite clever of you and required acknowledgement. Maybe it was obvious since I noticed it. I've disappointed you.

This. :)

I thought I was pretty witty at the time.
