This video delves deep into 8 fascinating questions that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe and existence itself. Prepare to have your perception of reality challenged as we explore the cutting-edge of physics and cosmology!
Does 'nothing' exist, or is there only 'quantum foam'?
According to quantum mechanics, even the most perfect vacuum isn't truly empty. We'll explore how the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and quantum field fluctuations show that 'nothingness' is actually a dynamic environment where particle-antiparticle pairs constantly pop in and out of existence. Discover the mind-boggling concept of quantum foam and how it challenges our classical notions of empty space.
Does "The Schwinger Effect" demonstrate "something from absolutely nothing"?
The Schwinger effect suggests that a sufficiently strong electromagnetic field can produce electron-positron pairs from the vacuum. We'll delve into this fascinating phenomenon and discuss how it might represent a practical application of Einstein's famous E=mc² equation, showing how energy can be converted into matter. Learn about the recent experiments using graphene that have brought us closer to observing this effect in the laboratory.
Can quantum fluctuation potentially create a universe from 'nothing'?
Quantum mechanics and inflationary theory propose that our universe may have arisen from quantum fluctuations. We'll explore the mind-bending idea that the entire cosmos could have emerged from 'nothing' and examine the theoretical frameworks that support this concept. Discover how the laws of quantum mechanics might allow for the spontaneous creation of space, time, and matter.
How Does Hawking Radiation Convert Vacuum Energy into Detectable Matter?
Stephen Hawking's groundbreaking theory explains how quantum fluctuations near a black hole's event horizon can result in the creation of real particles. We'll dive into the fascinating world of black hole thermodynamics and explore how this process leads to the gradual evaporation of black holes. Learn about the information paradox and its implications for our understanding of quantum mechanics and gravity.
How did inflationary cosmology turn 'nothing' into a universe brimming with galaxies and stars?
The theory of cosmic inflation provides a compelling explanation for how the universe rapidly expanded in its earliest moments. We'll explore how this process amplified quantum fluctuations into the large-scale structures we see today. Discover how inflation solves key problems in cosmology and why it's considered a cornerstone of modern Big Bang theory.
How does the Casimir Effect manipulate 'nothing' to produce measurable forces?
The Casimir effect, arising from the difference in quantum vacuum fluctuations between two conducting plates, demonstrates that 'empty space' is far from empty. We'll explore the experimental evidence for this effect and its potential applications in nanotechnology. Learn how this phenomenon challenges our understanding of vacuum energy and its implications for the cosmological constant problem.
Can the concept of Zero-Point Energy redefine our understanding of a true vacuum?
Zero-point energy, the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have, has profound implications for our understanding of the vacuum. We'll explore the theoretical predictions of vacuum energy density and the stark contrast with observational evidence, known as the vacuum catastrophe. Discover the potential applications and limitations of harnessing zero-point energy.
How Vacuum Decay Would Destroy The Universe?
Finally, we'll delve into the unsettling possibility of vacuum decay, a process that could rewrite the laws of physics as we know them. Learn about false vacuums, quantum tunneling, and how a bubble of true vacuum could expand at the speed of light, obliterating everything in its path. We'll discuss the likelihood of this event occurring and its implications for the long-term fate of the universe.

Yes Indeed Simple but truuth
It could outside the universe
Nothingness can exist but nothing can't.
In essence, no one really can define what "nothingness" is. In fact, when you say and think of nothingness you already say and think of an idea of something, which is no-thing, which then trying to put no-thing in your mind. Nothingness, in essence, is beyond ideas. It is beyond nothingness itself.
I like that, nothingness doesn’t exist
By definition , nothing does not exist . By definition , there is no such thing as no thing. Therefore something must exist.
No one denies that. Therefore nothingness exist.
How could nothingness exist? It's an inherent contradiction.
Det er dog det værste Vås jeg nogensinde har hørt.
Alt det der påståes i denne video, der gør at en kontainer ikke kan være absolut tom, er jo alt sammen noget der kommer inde fra universet.
Men der var intet univers da BigBang skulle have fundet sted.
Så ikke engang tid eller sted og slet ikke plads til at have selv det mindste punkt i eksisterede.
However, it is the worst Vås I have ever heard.
Everything that is claimed in this video, which means that a container cannot be absolutely empty, is after all something that comes from within the universe.
But there was no universe when the BigBang was supposed to have taken place.
So not even time or place and not even space to have even the smallest point in existed.
Assume nothing exists. Therefore something exists (the nothing that exists). Thus proof by contradiction, nothing does not exist and therefore something exists, which requires a universe to exist in.

You force me to assume the impoassible and this is big no no dont do that if you want to see yourself in the mirror
Yeah but that's a trick of linguistics.
By assuming nothing exists, we are forced to acknowledge the concept of “nothing,” which itself is a form of existence. This contradiction implies that the original assumption is false, proving that the universe (or at least some form of existence) must exist.
Let me offer some preliminary proofs and arguments for the primacy of zero (0) and dimensionlessness (0D) while drawing on insights from various fields of mathematics and physics:
Theorem 1: The zero vector is the unique additive identity in any vector space.
Proof:
Let V be a vector space over a field F, and let 0 be the zero vector in V.
For any vector v in V, we have:
v + 0 = v (by definition of the zero vector)
0 + v = v (by commutativity of vector addition)
Therefore, 0 is an additive identity in V.
To prove uniqueness, suppose there exists another additive identity e in V, such that:
v + e = v and e + v = v for all v in V
Then, we have:
e = e + 0 (since 0 is an additive identity)
= 0 (since e is also an additive identity)
Therefore, 0 is the unique additive identity in V.
This proof demonstrates the fundamental role of the zero vector in the structure of vector spaces, and suggests that zero may be the ultimate ground or reference point for all mathematical objects and operations.
Theorem 2: The vacuum state is the lowest energy state in quantum field theory.
Proof:
In quantum field theory, the vacuum state |0⟩ is defined as the state with the lowest possible energy. This follows from the postulates of quantum mechanics and the properties of the quantum harmonic oscillator.
Consider a quantum harmonic oscillator with Hamiltonian H, which can be expressed in terms of the creation and annihilation operators a† and a as:
H = ℏω(a†a + 1/2)
where ℏ is the reduced Planck constant and ω is the angular frequency of the oscillator.
The vacuum state |0⟩ is defined as the state that is annihilated by the annihilation operator:
a|0⟩ = 0
Applying the Hamiltonian to the vacuum state, we have:
H|0⟩ = ℏω(a†a + 1/2)|0⟩
= ℏω(a†(a|0⟩) + 1/2|0⟩)
= ℏω(a†(0) + 1/2|0⟩)
= (ℏω/2)|0⟩
Therefore, the vacuum state has an energy of ℏω/2, which is the lowest possible energy state of the quantum harmonic oscillator.
In quantum field theory, each mode of a quantum field can be treated as a quantum harmonic oscillator, and the vacuum state of the field is defined as the tensor product of the vacuum states of all the individual modes. Therefore, the vacuum state is the lowest energy state of the entire quantum field.
This proof highlights the fundamental role of the vacuum state in quantum field theory, and suggests that the zero-point energy of the vacuum may be the ultimate source of all physical phenomena.
Theorem 3: The empty set is a subset of every set.
Proof:
Let A be any set, and let ∅ be the empty set.
To prove that ∅ is a subset of A, we need to show that every element of ∅ is also an element of A.
However, ∅ has no elements by definition.
Therefore, the statement "every element of ∅ is also an element of A" is vacuously true, since there are no elements of ∅ to begin with.
Thus, ∅ is a subset of A.
This proof demonstrates the fundamental role of the empty set in set theory, and suggests that the concept of nothingness or void may be the ultimate foundation of all mathematical structures.
Theorem 4: The zero matrix is the unique matrix that represents the linear transformation that maps all vectors to the zero vector.
Proof:
Let V be a vector space over a field F, and let A be an n × n matrix over F.
Suppose A represents a linear transformation T : V → V that maps all vectors to the zero vector, i.e., T(v) = 0 for all v in V.
Let e_i be the standard basis vectors of V, i.e., e_i has a 1 in the i-th position and 0s elsewhere.
Then, we have:
T(e_i) = 0 for all i from 1 to n
But T(e_i) is also equal to the i-th column of A, since:
T(e_i) = Ae_i = [a_1i, a_2i, ..., a_ni]^T
where a_ji is the entry in the j-th row and i-th column of A.
Therefore, we have:
[a_1i, a_2i, ..., a_ni]^T = 0 for all i from 1 to n
This implies that all entries of A must be zero, i.e., A is the zero matrix.
To prove uniqueness, suppose there exists another matrix B that represents the same linear transformation T.
Then, by the same argument as above, all entries of B must also be zero.
Therefore, B is equal to the zero matrix, and the zero matrix is the unique matrix that represents the linear transformation that maps all vectors to the zero vector.
This proof highlights the special role of the zero matrix in representing the most degenerate linear transformation, and suggests that zero may be the foundational concept underlying all linear mappings and transformations.
Theorem 5: The Euler characteristic of a topological space is a topological invariant.
Proof:
Let X be a topological space, and let χ(X) be its Euler characteristic, defined as:
χ(X) = Σ_i (-1)^i β_i
where β_i is the i-th Betti number of X, which counts the number of i-dimensional "holes" in X.
To prove that χ(X) is a topological invariant, we need to show that it remains unchanged under continuous deformations of X, such as stretching, twisting, or bending, but not tearing or gluing.
Consider a continuous map f : X → Y between two topological spaces X and Y.
The induced homomorphisms on the homology groups of X and Y satisfy the following property:
f_* : H_i(X) → H_i(Y) is a group homomorphism for each i
Moreover, the alternating sum of the ranks of these homomorphisms is equal to the Euler characteristic:
Σ_i (-1)^i rank(f_*) = χ(X) - χ(Y)
Now, if f is a homeomorphism, i.e., a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse, then the induced homomorphisms f_* are isomorphisms, and their ranks are equal to the Betti numbers of X and Y:
rank(f_*) = β_i(X) = β_i(Y) for each i
Therefore, we have:
Σ_i (-1)^i rank(f_*) = Σ_i (-1)^i β_i(X) - Σ_i (-1)^i β_i(Y) = χ(X) - χ(Y) = 0
This implies that χ(X) = χ(Y) whenever X and Y are homeomorphic, i.e., χ is a topological invariant.
This proof highlights the fundamental role of the Euler characteristic in capturing the essential topological properties of a space, and suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness may be intimately connected to the deep structure of space and time.
Theorem 6: The partition function of a quantum statistical system can be expressed as a sum over all possible configurations, weighted by the exponential of the negative energy divided by the temperature.
Proof:
Let H be the Hamiltonian of a quantum statistical system, and let β = 1/kT be the inverse temperature, where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.
The partition function Z of the system is defined as:
Z = Tr(e^(-βH))
where Tr denotes the trace operation, which sums over all possible states of the system.
Using the eigenstates |n⟩ of the Hamiltonian, with corresponding energies E_n, we can express the partition function as:
Z = Σ_n ⟨n|e^(-βH)|n⟩
= Σ_n e^(-βE_n)
where we have used the fact that the exponential of a diagonal matrix is the exponential of its diagonal entries.
Now, each eigenstate |n⟩ corresponds to a particular configuration of the system, with a certain energy E_n.
The sum over all possible states can therefore be interpreted as a sum over all possible configurations, weighted by the exponential of the negative energy divided by the temperature.
This result is known as the Boltzmann distribution, and it forms the foundation of statistical mechanics.
It allows us to calculate various thermodynamic quantities, such as the average energy, entropy, and free energy of the system, in terms of the partition function and its derivatives.
The fact that the partition function can be expressed as a sum over all possible configurations, including the "empty" or "vacuum" configuration with zero energy, suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness may play a fundamental role in the statistical properties of matter and energy.
Theorem 7: The vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity is proportional to the metric tensor.
Proof:
In general relativity, the energy-momentum tensor T_μν is a symmetric second-rank tensor that describes the density and flux of energy and momentum in spacetime.
The vacuum expectation value of T_μν, denoted by ⟨0|T_μν|0⟩, is the expectation value of T_μν in the vacuum state |0⟩.
According to the Einstein field equations, the energy-momentum tensor is related to the curvature of spacetime via:
R_μν - (1/2)Rg_μν + Λg_μν = (8πG/c^4) T_μν
where R_μν is the Ricci tensor, R is the scalar curvature, g_μν is the metric tensor, Λ is the cosmological constant, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and c is the speed of light.
In the vacuum state, the energy-momentum tensor vanishes classically, i.e., T_μν = 0.
However, in quantum field theory, the vacuum state has zero-point fluctuations that give rise to a non-zero vacuum expectation value of T_μν.
By the principle of general covariance, the vacuum expectation value of T_μν must be proportional to the only available second-rank tensor in the vacuum, which is the metric tensor g_μν:
⟨0|T_μν|0⟩ = κg_μν
where κ is a constant.
Substituting this into the Einstein field equations, we obtain:
R_μν - (1/2)Rg_μν + Λg_μν = (8πG/c^4) κg_μν
This implies that the vacuum energy-momentum tensor acts like a cosmological constant term in the Einstein equations, with an effective cosmological constant given by:
Λ_eff = Λ + (8πG/c^4) κ
The fact that the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor is proportional to the metric tensor suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness may be deeply connected to the geometry and topology of spacetime, and may play a crucial role in the large-scale structure and evolution of the universe.
Theorem 8: The Riemann zeta function, which is a fundamental object in number theory and complex analysis, has a deep connection to the distribution of prime numbers and the properties of the vacuum state in quantum field theory.
Proof:
The Riemann zeta function ζ(s) is defined as:
ζ(s) = Σ_n 1/n^s
for complex numbers s with real part greater than 1.
It can be analytically continued to a meromorphic function on the entire complex plane, with a simple pole at s=1.
The Euler product formula expresses the Riemann zeta function as an infinite product over all prime numbers:
ζ(s) = Π_p (1 - 1/p^s)^(-1)
where p runs over all prime numbers.
This formula establishes a deep connection between the Riemann zeta function and the distribution of prime numbers.
In particular, the famous Riemann hypothesis states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function (i.e., zeros with real part between 0 and 1) have real part equal to 1/2.
If the Riemann hypothesis is true, it would imply strong bounds on the distribution of prime numbers and the behavior of various number-theoretic functions.
Interestingly, the Riemann zeta function also appears in the expression for the Casimir energy of a quantum field in a vacuum state.
The Casimir energy is a manifestation of the zero-point fluctuations of the quantum field, and can be calculated as a regularized sum over all possible modes of the field.
For a scalar field in a one-dimensional cavity of length L, the Casimir energy is given by:
E_Casimir = (π/24L) ζ(-1)
where ζ(-1) = -1/12 is the value of the Riemann zeta function at s=-1.
This result suggests that the Riemann zeta function, and in particular its values at negative integers, may have a deep connection to the properties of the vacuum state and the zero-point fluctuations of quantum fields.
The fact that the Riemann zeta function appears in both number theory and quantum field theory, and that it is intimately connected to the concept of zero (through its zeros and its values at negative integers), suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be a unifying theme across different branches of mathematics and physics.
Theorem 9: The Euler-Lagrange equations, which are the fundamental equations of motion in classical mechanics and field theory, can be derived from the principle of least action, which states that the path taken by a system between two points is the one that minimizes the action integral.
Proof:
Let q_i(t) be the generalized coordinates of a system, and let L(q_i, dq_i/dt, t) be the Lagrangian of the system, which is a function of the coordinates, their time derivatives, and time.
The action integral S is defined as the integral of the Lagrangian over time:
S = ∫_t1^t2 L(q_i, dq_i/dt, t) dt
The principle of least action states that the path taken by the system between two points (q_i(t1), q_i(t2)) is the one that minimizes the action integral S.
To find the equations of motion, we require that the variation of the action integral with respect to the path is zero:
δS = 0
Using the calculus of variations, we can show that this condition leads to the Euler-Lagrange equations:
(d/dt) (∂L/∂(dq_i/dt)) - (∂L/∂q_i) = 0
for each generalized coordinate q_i.
These equations describe the motion of the system and can be used to derive the conservation laws and symmetry principles of classical mechanics and field theory.
The fact that the equations of motion can be derived from a variational principle, which involves minimizing an integral, suggests that the concept of zero or nothingness (in the sense of a minimum or stationary point) may play a fundamental role in the dynamics of physical systems.
Moreover, the action integral itself can be interpreted as a measure of the "amount of nothingness" in the path of the system, in the sense that it vanishes for the classical path (the one that satisfies the equations of motion) and is positive for all other paths.
This interpretation suggests that the classical path of a system can be seen as a "zero mode" or "vacuum state" of the action integral, and that the properties of this zero mode may be related to the fundamental laws of physics and the symmetries of nature.
Theorem 10: The concept of entropy, which is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, is intimately connected to the concept of information and the properties of the vacuum state in quantum field theory.
Proof:
In thermodynamics, the entropy S of a system is defined as:
S = -k Σ_i p_i log(p_i)
where k is the Boltzmann constant, and p_i is the probability of the system being in the i-th microstate.
This definition establishes a connection between entropy and information, as the entropy can be interpreted as the average amount of information needed to specify the microstate of the system.
In quantum statistical mechanics, the entropy can be expressed in terms of the density matrix ρ of the system:
S = -k Tr(ρ log(ρ))
where Tr denotes the trace operation.
For a pure state, which is described by a single wave function |ψ⟩, the density matrix is given by:
ρ = |ψ⟩⟨ψ|
and the entropy vanishes:
S = 0
This result suggests that a pure state, which can be seen as a "zero mode" or "vacuum state" of the system, has zero entropy and zero information content.
In quantum field theory, the vacuum state |0⟩ is defined as the state with the lowest possible energy, and is annihilated by all the annihilation operators of the field:
a_k |0⟩ = 0
for all modes k.
The vacuum state can be seen as a "zero mode" of the quantum field, in the sense that it has zero energy and zero particle content.
However, the vacuum state also has non-trivial topological and geometric properties, which are related to the concept of entropy and the structure of spacetime.
In particular, the entanglement entropy of the vacuum state, which measures the amount of entanglement between different regions of spacetime, is proportional to the area of the boundary between the regions (the "area law"):
S_entanglement = (c^3/4ℏG) A
where c is the speed of light, ℏ is the reduced Planck constant, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and A is the area of the boundary.
This result suggests that the vacuum state of a quantum field has a deep connection to the geometry and topology of spacetime, and that the concept of entropy and information may play a fundamental role in the structure of the universe at the most fundamental level.
The fact that the vacuum state, which can be seen as a "zero mode" of the quantum field, has non-trivial entropy and information content, suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be a key to understanding the nature of space, time, and matter.
Theorem 11: The fundamental theorem of algebra, which states that every non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero in the complex number system.
Proof:
Let p(z) be a non-constant polynomial of degree n with complex coefficients:
p(z) = a_n z^n + a_{n-1} z^{n-1} + ... + a_1 z + a_0
where a_n ≠ 0.
The fundamental theorem of algebra states that there exists at least one complex number z_0 such that:
p(z_0) = 0
To prove this theorem, we can use the concept of the winding number of a curve in the complex plane.
Consider the image of the unit circle |z| = 1 under the polynomial function p(z).
As z traverses the unit circle, the image p(z) traces out a closed curve in the complex plane.
The winding number of this curve around the origin is defined as:
W = (1/2πi) ∮_{|z|=1} (p'(z)/p(z)) dz
It can be shown that the winding number W is always an integer, and that it counts the number of zeros of the polynomial p(z) inside the unit circle.
Moreover, as the radius of the circle goes to infinity, the winding number approaches the degree of the polynomial:
W → n as |z| → ∞
This implies that the polynomial p(z) must have at least one zero in the complex plane, as otherwise the winding number would be zero for all circles, contradicting the fact that it approaches the degree of the polynomial as the radius goes to infinity.
The fundamental theorem of algebra can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero in the complex number system, as it shows that every polynomial equation p(z) = 0 has at least one solution, and that the number of solutions is related to the degree of the polynomial.
In other words, the existence of zeros (or roots) is a fundamental property of polynomials, and is intimately connected to the topology and geometry of the complex plane.
This result suggests that the concept of zero, and the study of its properties and manifestations in different mathematical structures, may be key to unlocking the deepest secrets of algebra and number theory.
Theorem 12: The concept of symmetry, which plays a fundamental role in modern physics and mathematics, is intimately connected to the concept of invariance under transformations, and can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness.
Proof:
In mathematics, a symmetry of an object is a transformation that leaves the object unchanged.
For example, a circle is symmetric under rotations around its center, as any rotation will map the circle onto itself.
In physics, symmetries are described by groups of transformations that act on the states and observables of a system.
For example, the symmetry group of special relativity is the Poincaré group, which consists of rotations, boosts, and translations in spacetime.
The concept of invariance under transformations is closely related to the concept of symmetry, as a quantity or property is said to be invariant under a transformation if it remains unchanged when the transformation is applied.
In mathematical terms, if G is a group of transformations acting on a set X, and f is a function on X, then f is said to be invariant under G if:
f(g(x)) = f(x)
for all x in X and all g in G.
The concept of invariance can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, as it captures the idea that certain properties or quantities remain "unchanged" or "unaffected" under certain transformations.
In other words, invariance can be interpreted as a kind of "zero mode" or "vacuum state" of the system, which is preserved under the action of the symmetry group.
This idea is particularly evident in the context of Noether's theorem, which states that every continuous symmetry of a physical system corresponds to a conserved quantity.
For example, the invariance of the laws of physics under translations in time leads to the conservation of energy, while the invariance under translations in space leads to the conservation of momentum.
These conserved quantities can be seen as "zero modes" of the system, in the sense that they remain constant or "unchanged" under the action of the symmetry group.
The fact that symmetries and invariance play such a fundamental role in physics and mathematics suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be deeply connected to the structure and behavior of the universe at the most fundamental level.
Theorem 13: The concept of emergent spacetime, which suggests that the fabric of space and time is not a fundamental entity but rather arises from underlying quantum degrees of freedom, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness.
Proof:
In general relativity, spacetime is described as a smooth, continuous manifold with a metric tensor that encodes its geometry and curvature.
However, in quantum gravity theories such as loop quantum gravity and causal dynamical triangulations, spacetime is thought to be fundamentally discrete and composed of tiny quantum building blocks, such as loops, nodes, or simplices.
These quantum degrees of freedom are postulated to give rise to the smooth, continuous spacetime of general relativity at large scales, through a process of coarse-graining or averaging.
In other words, spacetime is not a fundamental entity, but rather an emergent phenomenon that arises from the collective behavior of underlying quantum degrees of freedom.
This idea can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that spacetime emerges from a "void" or "vacuum" of quantum degrees of freedom, which have no intrinsic spatiotemporal properties.
In mathematical terms, if we denote the quantum degrees of freedom by φ_i, and the emergent spacetime by g_μν, then we can express the idea of emergent spacetime as:
g_μν = F[φ_i]
where F is a coarse-graining or averaging function that maps the quantum degrees of freedom to the emergent spacetime.
The fact that spacetime emerges from underlying quantum degrees of freedom suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be non-spatiotemporal, and that the concepts of space and time may be secondary or derived notions that arise from more primitive, non-geometric entities.
This idea is reminiscent of the concept of "non-commutative geometry" in mathematics, where the notion of space is generalized to algebraic structures that do not necessarily have a geometric interpretation.
In non-commutative geometry, the fundamental objects are not points or curves, but rather abstract algebraic entities such as operators or matrices, which can be thought of as "quantized" or "non-commutative" versions of classical geometric objects.
The fact that non-commutative geometry provides a natural framework for quantum gravity and emergent spacetime suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be deeply connected to the algebraic and non-geometric aspects of reality.
Theorem 14: The holographic principle, which states that the information content of a region of space can be described by a theory on the boundary of that region, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness.
Proof:
The holographic principle is a general feature of quantum gravity theories, which suggests that the degrees of freedom of a region of space can be encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary of that region.
The most famous example of the holographic principle is the AdS/CFT correspondence, which states that a theory of gravity in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is equivalent to a conformal field theory (CFT) on the boundary of that space.
In other words, the physics of the bulk AdS space can be completely described by the physics of the boundary CFT, which has one fewer dimension than the bulk.
The holographic principle can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that it suggests that the fundamental degrees of freedom of a region of space are not located in the bulk, but rather on the boundary, which can be thought of as a "void" or "vacuum" from the perspective of the bulk.
In mathematical terms, if we denote the bulk AdS space by M and the boundary CFT by ∂M, then the AdS/CFT correspondence can be expressed as:
Z_CFT[φ] = ∫_φ Dg e^{iS_AdS[g,φ]}
where Z_CFT is the partition function of the boundary CFT, S_AdS is the action of the bulk AdS space, and φ is a field on the boundary that corresponds to a source in the bulk.
This equation shows that the physics of the bulk AdS space is completely encoded in the physics of the boundary CFT, and that the boundary degrees of freedom are the fundamental entities that give rise to the bulk.
The holographic principle suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be lower-dimensional or even dimensionless, and that the apparent three-dimensionality of space may be an emergent or derived concept.
This idea is reminiscent of the "flatland" thought experiment in mathematics, where a two-dimensional being living on a plane cannot directly perceive the third dimension, but can nevertheless infer its existence from the behavior of objects in the plane.
The fact that the holographic principle provides a natural framework for understanding the emergence of spacetime and the nature of quantum gravity suggests that the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness may be deeply connected to the lower-dimensional or dimensionless aspects of reality.
Theorem 15: The concept of quantum entanglement, which refers to the non-classical correlations between quantum systems that cannot be accounted for by local realistic theories, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness.
Proof:
In quantum mechanics, the state of a composite system is described by a vector in a Hilbert space, which is a tensor product of the Hilbert spaces of the individual subsystems.
For example, if we have two quantum systems A and B, with Hilbert spaces H_A and H_B, then the Hilbert space of the composite system is given by:
H_AB = H_A ⊗ H_B
A state in the composite Hilbert space is said to be entangled if it cannot be written as a tensor product of states in the individual Hilbert spaces:
|ψ_AB⟩ ≠ |ψ_A⟩ ⊗ |ψ_B⟩
Entangled states exhibit non-classical correlations that cannot be explained by any local realistic theory, as demonstrated by the violation of Bell's inequalities.
The concept of quantum entanglement can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that entangled states are fundamentally non-local and non-separable, and cannot be reduced to the properties of the individual subsystems.
In other words, entangled states exist in a "void" or "vacuum" of possibilities, where the individual subsystems lose their independent identities and become part of a larger, holistic entity.
This idea is reminiscent of the concept of "non-separability" in mathematics, where a geometric object cannot be decomposed into simpler parts without losing its essential properties.
For example, a torus (donut shape) is non-separable, because any attempt to cut it into two parts will destroy its topological structure.
The fact that quantum entanglement exhibits non-separability and non-locality suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be holistic and non-reductionistic, and that the properties of the whole cannot be reduced to the properties of the parts.
This idea is consistent with the "holographic principle" discussed earlier, which suggests that the degrees of freedom of a region of space are not independent, but rather fundamentally interconnected and encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary.
The non-local and non-separable nature of quantum entanglement also suggests that the concept of "locality" and "separability" may be emergent or derived notions, rather than fundamental properties of reality.
In other words, the apparent separability and locality of classical physics may be a consequence of the coarse-graining or averaging of underlying quantum degrees of freedom, which are fundamentally non-local and non-separable.
Theorem 16: The concept of wave-particle duality, which refers to the fact that quantum entities exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the context of observation, can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness.
Proof:
In quantum mechanics, the state of a quantum system is described by a wave function, which is a complex-valued function on a Hilbert space.
The wave function encodes the probabilities of different measurement outcomes, and exhibits wave-like properties such as interference and diffraction.
However, when a measurement is performed on the system, the wave function "collapses" to a definite state, and the system exhibits particle-like properties such as localization and discreteness.
The concept of wave-particle duality can be seen as a manifestation of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, in the sense that the wave function exists in a "void" or "vacuum" of possibilities, which is not directly observable or measurable.
In other words, the wave function represents a "zero mode" or "ground state" of the quantum system, which contains all the information about the system's potential properties and behaviors.
When a measurement is performed, the wave function "collapses" to a definite state, and the system's actual properties and behaviors become manifest.
This collapse is often seen as a mysterious or paradoxical process, because it seems to involve a sudden change in the system's state, without any apparent cause or mechanism.
However, from the perspective of the primacy of zero and the properties of nothingness, the collapse of the wave function can be seen as a natural consequence of the transition from the realm of potentiality to the realm of actuality.
In other words, the wave function represents the system's inherent potential or "nothingness", which is not directly observable or measurable, but which contains all the information about the system's possible states and behaviors.
When a measurement is performed, this potential is "actualized" or "realized" into a definite state, and the system's actual properties and behaviors become manifest.
The fact that quantum systems exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties suggests that the fundamental nature of reality may be neither purely continuous nor purely discrete, but rather a complex interplay between the two.
This idea is consistent with the concept of "complementarity" in quantum mechanics, which states that the wave-like and particle-like properties of a system are mutually exclusive, but both necessary for a complete description of the system.
The wave-particle duality also suggests that the concepts of "continuity" and "discreteness" may be emergent or derived notions, rather than fundamental properties of reality.
In other words, the apparent continuity and discreteness of classical physics may be a consequence of the coarse-graining or averaging of underlying quantum degrees of freedom, which exhibit a more subtle and complex interplay between the two.
Embarassing
We use a lot of wrong words like Nothingness and then we believe that they mean something real. Words are often empty.
What you you want us to think a full word would be, App?
How do you feel about "words are signifiers, not containers"?
To argue about something you can’t even define is pointless.
Nothing is real, we just seem to perceive it as the opposite of something.. ... Maybe it's not an opposite.. maybe it is something that is just called nothing

I am 1 minute 40 seconds in. About this point in the video the narrator speak of something containing a vacuum he states that external heat could enter the box. My school boy physics taught me that, heat is an indications of the degree o excitation of the PARTICLES in the system. My question is how can heat be transferred to a perfectly isolated vacuum, that is devoid of particles. In good faith could somebody explain why my question is based on the premise, thanks.
I think you kind of hit the proverbial nail on the head. You are maybe talking about conduction or convection of heat. There is also radiation, which does not necessarily "transfer" to an object or system unless there is a particle, object, or system to transfer too. I like your observation though. My issue with this video is that I cannot fathom how anyone can talk about quantum physics without venturing deeper down the rabbit hole of "nonlocality." We like to say that entanglement is a "nonlocal phenomenon" but stop short of saying that the nature of reality is nonlocal. There is the rub. It is not that there is "nothing." It is just that the "something" turns out to be nonlocal, as in a mere projection of sorts to us. It is both "unspeakable" and "mechanical." In other words, a tree that falls alone in the woods with nobody there to hear it will always make a "noise" but in order for there to be "sound" there might need to be someone there --and even still that someone there really would have no perfect definition for the difference between the words "noise" and "sound," but one means a concussive force an object makes and the other the reverberation a being hears.
@@jdlawbooker3938 thanks for your reply, you accessed the dusty corner of my memory when mentioning the three forms of heat transfer. With respect to non locality, well, I have admit to bailing out when felt the video might not be scientifically accurate. I should like to agree with your analysis, but your knowledge is way above my head. I’m sure it’s correct however. Perhaps someone read your reply who has a good grasp of QM.

What is nothing(ness)?
Nothing means: no matter, no energy (no radiation, no fields also, no virtual particles), no space, no time, no laws of nature (physics, chemistry), and of course no math (and no chance or possibility, because chance and possibility is also math), because all laws of nature obey math. But there is still something…. even with these all no-s. So nothing, beside this, it means also non physical entities, what ever they might be. By the way, the absence of something is also something…. and so on. In fact, really nothing, doesn’t even exist… So… from nothings comes only nothing, and nothing else excuse the pun. Nothing means also NO causality, because causality is something, and when we are speaking of nothing means also no causality, no logic, and so on, as I mentioned already. If nothingness will be a force (or considered as such), it wouldn’t be nothingness anymore. It will become something…. And something is not nothing.

Wouldn't the concept of nothing also necessarily imply the absence of quantum fields?
guess the quantum fields are our most close to nothing possible...
@@rcoimbra00 I agree but that's why I use the word concept. If there are quantum fields then by definition that is not nothing. Then again based on that reasoning the existence of space itself is not nothing. I can only conclude that in a reality where there is evidently something it is simply a logical contradiction to believe there could ever be absolutely nothing.

If we take "Nothing" to mean the absence of everything and anything (which is a human concept), it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as "Nothing".
"Nothing", could not exist if there is something to compare it to. In a case where there is "something" to compare "nothing" to, the "nothing" would be a potential difference...Not "nothing".

If "nothing" could exist, it would be without time. What does it mean to exist for a literally zero span of time? It means... it can't exist
Its obvious at this point that time is an illusion, we're made out of the same light that is infinite.
Nothingness is different than nothing. It's like the difference between an empty void or the number zero and no-thing. No-thing means not even zero, literally no thing, no emptiness, no void, no zero, no nothing. Nothingness exists as a concept if nothing else, but nothing at all can be said about "no-thing." It has no words. It doesnt exist.
Absolute nothing would also mean even nothing itself becomes nothing. If the big bang and the initial singularity happened, then the process arose from somewhere else and isn't the actual beginning of existence.
Im hoping the search for nothingness leads us to zero point energy.

Even the thought of nothing is something
(0:02:00) Heat cannot enter an empty container. Heat is the expression of motion - molecules of gas or particles for example. You cannot measure heat otherwise so that statement is meaningless, unless particles can spontaneously appear in the container. Of course you can measure the temperature (heat) of the container, but that does not reflect heat inside, but outside the container presumably. In any case, our brains are dualistic comparators - yin/yang. We can only think in terms of yes/no, hot/cold, empty/full. Doesn’t mean those “ideas” are real. Nothingness is just as artificial as “somethingness”.
Sometimes a mental "nothingness " and the physical form jnto Potential --- to transform into a "Somethingness" --- is like the energy and matter equation of Einstein's idea of connectedness. All One in a cosmic dance of "Everythingness" in endless processes and relationships, worlds without end.
Even non vibration has a variety of different vibrations that are so different from the other it doesn't exist only till it gets a push to get it moving. Is that it ?we will know the difference
Ex nihilo nihil fit (From nothing, nothing comes). When the "from" refers to the material cause, then truly nothing can result from nothing. However, when the "from" refers to the order of events-as in creation, first there was nothing and then something-then the axiom is not valid. The formulation of the axiom is from the Eleatic school of philosophy. (see greek philosophy.)

From wat Iv gathered over the years bout concept of nothing is since there are possibilities there can never be such concept
It's a play on words and meanings perhaps....but true nothingness is not something that can exist by its own definition....and the physics we have developed seems to show just that. There is something because nothing cannot exist. Doesn't get us very far along the path of understanding the universe though. Need to answer the question of how the things that do exist operate and arise and unfortunately we are limited by our own lack of observational powers. For instance for 3 dimensions to curve back on itself....we can observe how the 2 dimensions of the surface of a 3 dimensional sphere curve back on itself... however we cannot envision a 4th spatial dimension that would need to exist to allow 3 dimensions without boundary to curve back on itself. We may never understand it all because we can only theorize but never observe.
Nothing is what rocks dream about. - Aristotle

I love thinking about nothing.
"Can quantum "fluctuations" create a universe from nothing? Well that depends on what you mean by quantum fluctuations.
Certainly the big clue is the emergence of virtual particle/anti-particle pairs in the vacuum. By "virtual" we mean they don't quite get real or physical, but immediately disappear back into the nothingness from which they came. nevertheless, we can measure their effects and so we cannot say they are "not real" in the complete sense. The important aspect of this is that there are always TWO particles, one "positive", the other, "negative", relatively. In this way, nothing has been created and we have avoided the law against creation. That is to say, a NET nothing has been created, since the net energy of the particle pair is always exactly zero.
Let's now go to the smallest scale, well below the size and energy of any particle and down to the scale of the Planck length and the Planck time, (since they are both the effects of the same thing).
We might deduce the same thing is happening with quantum fluctuations, i.e. a positive and a negative pair of "fluctuations". I suggest this, since this also avoids breaking the law against creation and the sum of the pairs of fluctuations is always a net zero.
So, just before the big bang, there was nothing,....except,...these quantum fluctuation (pairs), trying to happen. Which brings me to the most fundamental idea - Murphy's Law.
Yes, that's right, Murphy's Law. No, I'm not joking. "If anything can happen, it will happen", in other words, everything is possible and trying to happen, even the most unlikely possibilities.
We say that time is what stops everything happening all at once, and that is true, because time must be sequential, digital, or quantised, in order for it to control the sequence of events and make sure there is an "Arrow of time", where cause comes before effect. So, with no time, (and this is an aspect of nothingness), everything is trying to happen all at once. That is to say, all possibilities are trying to happen, but these are also only virtual in nature, attempting to become real, and physical but failing.
But, there is one exception, and the deduction is too long for this post, but is given in my book, "The Binary Universe" - A Theory of Time. Conversely, you can read the chapter on this at Academia dot edu - Ken Hughes, Paper no. 8. The whole book is preci'd here for free.
Essentially, because there always has to be a positive with an equal and opposite "negative", the universe must be binary, with a positive and a negative side. (Re. CPT Symmetry).
In short, time is a binary wave of energy where each wave is negative but equal to the other and the waves are made up of quantum fluctuations of energy.

this topic started out promising until it started to stray from its incompetence
So, guess the quantum fields are our most close to nothing possible...with the uncertainty of what particles and antiparticles will emerge, only known when we measure things and by that creating the observer interference on the concrete results we measure, even if it's different if we don't measure it, so, it's a nothing filled with infinite possibilities, I guess

### Given Parameters:
- **Number of Qubits (N)**: \(2 \times 10^{62}\)
- **Gate Operation Time (T)**: 0.001 nanoseconds = \(1 \times 10^{-12}\) seconds
- **Parallelism Factor (P)**: 0.99999999
- **Problem-Specific Speedup (S)**: 10000
### Formula:
\[ \text{QOPS} = \frac{N \times P \times S}{T} \]
### Calculation:
\[ \text{QOPS} = \frac{2 \times 10^{62} \times 0.99999999 \times 10000}{1 \times 10^{-12}} \]
### Detailed Calculation Steps:
1. **Numerator Calculation**:
\[ 2 \times 10^{62} \times 0.99999999 \times 10000 = 1.99999998 \times 10^{67} \]
2. **Denominator**:
\[ 1 \times 10^{-12} \]
3. **Final QOPS Calculation**:
\[ \text{QOPS} = \frac{1.99999998 \times 10^{67}}{1 \times 10^{-12}} = 1.99999998 \times 10^{79} \]
### Corrected Code:
```python
# Given parameters
number_of_qubits = 2 * 10**62
gate_operation_time_ns = 0.001 # in nanoseconds
gate_operation_time_s = gate_operation_time_ns * 1e-9 # convert to seconds
parallelism_factor = 0.99999999
problem_specific_speedup = 10000
# Calculation of QOPS
qops = (number_of_qubits * parallelism_factor * problem_specific_speedup) / gate_operation_time_s
# Display the result
print(f"Quantum Operations Per Second (QOPS): {qops:.10e}")
# Expected QOPS value for verification
expected_qops = 1.99999998 * 10**79
print(f"Expected QOPS value: {expected_qops:.10e}")
# Verifying the result
if abs(qops - expected_qops) < 1e69:
print("The calculation is correct.")
else:
print("There seems to be a discrepancy in the calculation.")
```
### Step-by-Step Execution:
1. **Run the code in your Python environment.**
2. **Verify the output of the QOPS calculation.**
3. **Check the comparison with the expected QOPS value.**
This should give you the accurate calculation and verification for QOPS.

Topological holes cannot be shrunk down to zero -- non null homotopic.
"The negation of the negation gives a positive" -- Hegel.
Positive is dual to negative -- electric charge, numbers or curvature.
"Always two there are" -- Yoda.
The observed is dual to the observer -- David Bohm.
Nothing is 2 parts. Phyiscal or electrical signitures in a living being. Even if there is no living being the physical still exists. Lets learn more from that point of view
Those damn neutrinos spoil vacuums every time. 😊
From a materialist perspective, nothingness can not be explained. From a spiritual perspective, matter can be explained as a spiritual phenomenon. Like, 'all matter exist in the mind of a self conscious spirit'. I respect that for most people, this idea might be a bridge too far.

So even before the big band there was no such thing as nothing
it is all photonic light. And that is all there is. There is sentient thought. But where does that come from?
QM
Nothing exists, of course, but it cannot be observed, because Nothing also means no observer.

Nothingness is the absence of knowledge
Where is lawrence weilch when you need him😂
It would have to be or someone would have make it up
"Fluctuations can occur in the quantum field" ....'fluctuations' of what?
fluctuation due to uncertainty of what will be...
@@rcoimbra00 But "uncertainty" is a mere idea and its meaning cannot fluctuate; "what will be" is not an "is," has no ontological presence in actuality unless it "is," therefore as a mere mental abstraction how can it undergo a physical process, "fluctuate"?
Experiment's have shown that if you try to remove all matter, in say a boxed in area,
particles, that is quantum particles like electron's do in fact appear and disappear randomly. Thus the term "fluctuations".
Thing is, the boxed in area is still existing within the fabric of space time, which is definitely not "nothing".
"Nothing" can be imagined as a thought experiment, but if there was absolutely nothing, time will also not exist. So the "nothing" would last forever.
Since we are here, the logical conclusion is that "nothing" can not exist.
I like to think of it by asking the question that most people haven't thought through.
"Where is the Universe?"
The correct answer is Nowhere.
There's quite a few YT great science channels that explain the fluctuations in empty space.

Many scientists have theory's of our existence but imho,
Nobel prize winner Sir Roger Penrose is the closest to getting it right.
@@OhAncientOne Yes. But that then is not "Nithing" by definition.
@@James-ll3jb I think what you said is what I said.
I disagree completely with the suggestion that "nothing" is a "thing" bc if there was "nothing"
You would not exist to perceive it as a thing.
True "nothing" is the lack of all things.
The Idea of nothing, and imagination of opposite
of something, is real, but there is Only Something.
The Eternal Miracle, Motion-Ocean is a Real Illusion
Based on Eternal Laws and Principles,
Genious Camoflaged Empty Space.
Our Basic-Abilities, is pictured in the Rainbow,
and the Creator-Principles is named in our
daily Language, not yet in a Eternal understanding.
The Circuit-Principle, is in everything at all levels,
at the Life-side and Stuff-side.
(rest is a extensive study)
All this just makes me think we're liveing in a simulated reality And all the minerals have been put here for us to build Super intelligent Artificial intelligence That will eventually think it's real .
Theravada Buddhist teachings tend to make sense.

Nothing and Everything are the exact same thing.
But something to be nothing is something
Nothing is full of nothing. This makes it the substance
of the author's brain.
Does nothing know it exists.
It's really not that complicated, the meaning is in its use of the word. For example: There's nothing more to say. I see nothing significant. Nothing, means no thing. When speaking of things unseen and outside of our light spectrum of vision, we will then require scientific methods for providing reliable evidence. We will then discover substance and or dynamic factors of the metaphysical kind.
If you had a container small enough you could have nothing in it.
A container with nothing in it is a vacuum.
@@mygirldarby I mean really small, microscopic.
Gut
Nothingness or void is not nothing.
It is Beingness itself.
But absolutely nothing, does not exist, so we don't need to talk about it.
NO THING
Nothing cannot exists so it does because it doesn't
Actually we cannot feel we know everything try to empty your mind and soul like new born baby where actually yourself will be.during that time human life and all universe whithout the knowledge.
Great presentation! A solar model based on 'nothing' (Subspace), "An inside out Sun, is Gravity being Induced?" by Stephen Goodfellow on RUclips
i used to like these "science" videos, but today, they just make me angry because its basically lots of tax money wasted for literally nothing
Answer is No ...everything did not come from nothing. You are counting nothing as an empty box. Beginning requires no Time ... therefore no box & no space
I love how so many genius professors showed up to the comments to rub their genius in everyone else's faces 😂 clowns
Das 2e
i watch these vids but get zero ifo from them
nothing is everything
Yes it's perfectly true 👍 👌 that nothing exists included me and you too 😊 ❤ and So it's Goodbye from me to you knowing that this has never happened either so true 👍 😊 bye 👋 and Good luck to you too 💖 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠 💫 ✡️ adinfinitum too ♾️...........
"Turtles all the way down." NO. All the way down to the Goat. You didn't know about the goat? Now you do.
