Who is Ready for a Brain Challenge?

No game or puzzly thing here. Just the intense insanity of the universe. Who wants to debate about literally, absolutely nothing? I'm not saying random stuff, actually nothing. Does it exist? Answer if you dare.

WARNING: I have extreme capabilities to rant about things related to the state and complexity of the universe. Also watch the video link in my signature. As it states, MIND=BLOWN. Not like I didn't already logic it out, but I have a hard time compiling these types of thoughts.

Example of a topic, please.

I can't say I'm not curious

I've been listening to…
Ogre Battle // Queen // Queen II // Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Progressive Metal
Orion // Metallica // Master of Puppets // Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Instrumental
Damage Inc. // Metallica// Master of Puppets // Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal
Snow (Hey Oh) // Red Hot Chilli Peppers // Snow (Hey Oh) // Soft Rock, Acoustic
Who Wants To Live Forever // Queen // A Kind of Magic // Power Ballad, Soft Rock
I suggest you listen to…
For a influential playlist: Damage Inc and Orion. Both of these songs are part of the album that revolutionized heavy and thrash metal forever.

Well, a topic example would be nothing's existence, of how many universes there are. Another could be light speed an how it is an inefficient method of time travel.

Nothing, eh? I think I can do this.

Does anything exist? Is the universe around us real? Could it not be possible that you are dreaming this all, everyone else merely a creation of your imagination? How can you say that's not possible? Can you see anyone else's conscious? No, you can only see yours. How can you tell that, when someone says they have a conscious, that they're lying? You can't. An object of your own mind could easily say that it has a conscious, even if it doesn't. So if you are dreaming everything, why? Are you asleep someplace? Put into a coma? Imagining a better world because the one you came from is too much to handle? Will we ever know?

Is this what you were looking for? Or too philosophical for your taste?

It is one of the many, infinite, maybe, things I hoped to cover.
Nothing doesn't exist. IF the world is made of atoms, then the universe, even people, are mostly nothing. Then the world would be mostly noting, making everything a vacuum. So, nothing doesn't exist. Also, the english language is so annoying. If an annoying person walks up to you and says “whatcha talkin' about?” and you say “nothing” you are actually referring to something you don't want the person to know, unless, like I would, you are actually speaking of nothing. Anyone have anything to add?

Nothing is the absence of everything. If you took away everything, then ‘nothing’ would exist.

Well, to be frank, 'nothing' actually does not exist. Why?

Because if you say ‘nothing is in the bucket’, you're wrong. There is air in the bucket.

And it technically is impossible to remove ‘everything’ from one place because of little cells or whatever.

So, basically, our mind ‘invented’ nothing, so we can fill up ‘empty’ space.

Well, ‘empty’ doesn't exist too, if you think about it. It can be possible if you say like ‘this room is empty’, referring to ‘persons’ or ‘objects’. But ‘empty’ doesn't exist too so we basically made it up too so we can say that to the object we don't see, like air.

But if we also just made up the life we are living, then we must all be experts on psychology from the time we are born. But then how are we born if we make up our universe? What about people that existed before us? Wouldn't it be distracting to have 360 vision?

Aren't the great physicists great?
As an addition to my last post, we also need to be an expert on EVERYTHING if we have imagined earth. Really. But, as I am typing “we”, my brain is saying that this is reality. DUN DUN DUUUUUN

If there wasn't anything, there wouldn't be something for there to be nothing.

Paradoxical, indeed.

I was simply writing my knowledge of the philosophical subject based upon what has already been established. It's not anything spectacular because it has been contemplated many times before, and it can make a difference, as it can hint to the nature of the universe.

While not necessarily a fun thing to learn if true, it will have to be of note nonetheless.

why am I still here
