Happy new year to you too Baz! I've resolved to do nothing this year.

I changed my mind about this post. It didn't belong here, so now my post is nothing, which is on topic at least.

Well, I used to be indecisive, now im not so sure.

Is nothing still on topic?

Karen,

A double post,,,,,does that mean your saying double nothing?

I think Karen raised the stakes, that means double or nothing.

Well, if we're gonna bring gambling into the thread, the notion of nothing is appropriate, 'cause that's what I always end up with (he says, faking incompetence, with an ace in the hole).

I love this forum, I can watch it with my computer off.

OK, so nothing is the absence of anything. That's really hard to achieve. Even when you draw a vacuum on a chamber you can't quite get ALL of the molecules out. Diffusion pumps will get you down to millitorr ir perhaps microtorr but there's still gonna be something in the chamber.

What is the pressure of space, for example between the earth and the moon? Is it an absolute vacuum? That would really be nothing...

Curious minds want to know...

what's your point ?

is that like its colder in the winter than it is in the country ?

I don't know the pressure, but I read somewhere there's on molecule of Hydrogen per cubic yard of empty space.

That's not nothing, but it's pretty close.

Ahem... As I understand quantum mechanics and cosmology, which is only very vaguely, there can never be absolutely nothing (absolute zero pressure), because of the perpetual occurrence of virtual particles throughout the universe. What are virtual particles? The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says it is impossible to know both the location and momentum (mass, speed, and direction of movement) of a subatomic particle, such as the electrons that orbit the nucleus. Rather than have an exact location, they exist as a sort of probability cloud. The supposed location in relation to the nucleus as described in a lower level physics book is really just the most probable location. But the probability cloud extends to infinity. That means that, no matter how unlikely, it is possible for the particle to temporarily appear at some random place on the far side of the universe, where it would appear as a “virtual particle.” Such virtual particles are not merely theoretical possibilities, they have been experimentally demonstrated, and are the basis of a number of bizarre quantum mechanical phenomena (is there any other kind?). For example, a black hole, which is so dense and with gravity so immense that nothing can escape, not even light, will eventually evaporate, as all of its subatomic particles pop up “virtually” someplace outside its gravitational field. So, you can pump out all the molecules in your “perfect” vacuum tube, but virtual particles coming from outside the tube will perpetually appear and contaminate your vacuum, and that’s happening all the time, everywhere, even in the vast empty spaces between the galaxies.

That's more than 8.999 cubic feet of nothing!

Now ! that makes this entire discussion pointless !

Leave it to David Doggett to
raise the level of nothing to an new plane.

Shrodinger's cat theory says:

If you have nothing in a box,
but then look at it
it may be
or may NOT be
what was
or was not
in the box before
you are looking at.

The act of lookling at nothing,
MAY make it something
different.

You may think there is a cat in the box,
but when you look
it is nothing
and YET
it IS what you are looking at:

The space in the box.

Unless of course you have changed it
into something
by looking at it...

So that's good for nothing!

Well, I read through this whoe thing and got nothing out of it.

It's ok though, I was "Busy Doing Nothing" anyway.

I set up the camera and caught one of them. In the first pic it is just right of the center. In the second pic it is in the upper right hand corner. I will send these out free if you want one.

All I ask if you will help with the postage which is $7.61 each. Sorry no C O D's.Dale
