Один раз в Германии, кто-то сказал мне, "Мой Бог, вы пить как русский!"

Which has nothing to do with this thread.

- Leonid Dyachenko, it seems to me to do something, it is necessary to start someone else to be. Не зря же говорят, «если тебе нечего делать, тебе некем быть, а если некем быть, то ты никем и не являешься». Not for nothing is said, "if you have nothing to do, you no one to be, and if no one to be, then you're nobody and is not.

Richard, Я пью за ваше здоровье тоже

We'll probably get this thread closed for using a foreign language, although recent events would lead me to believe that the Russian language is still in quite prevalent usage in the USA !

ничего не предусмотрена в этом ответе, в самом деле, если я ничего не говорю, то есть о чем беспокоиться

Yes, let's get back to our usual (illiterate) English. Too many people have put too much time into this thread to get it closed now.

Am I the one person who thinks it's a bit odd that the (2nd)most talked about subject is literaly, nothing?

Travis,

It makes perfect sense to me.... all these people with NOTHING to say finally have a place where they can say it

Nothing well said, Richard.

It's time to write something about nothing: ANYTHING about nothing to keep this alive and well!!!

Just what kind of nothing are we talking about, "pre" big bang nothing or "post" big band nothing?

I must caution you here:
"Pre" big bang nothing is the only real nothing.

Well that being the case, what exactly were the components that created the big bang ?

so for there to be a bang, energy must have existed and therefore mass, therefore mass = SOMETHING..

I guess, with this topic, we can't complain if, from time to time, it goes for a week or two with NOTHING being posted. $:\$

According to Steven Hawkins, since time started with the big bang, the expression "before the big bang" has no meaning.

To be fair, we should explore all aspects in order to correctly ascertain any possilities that would affect the probability of nothing being relevant.

I'm sure the same man who said that:
Energy, (in ergs)
is equal to,
mass, (in grams),
times,
the speed of light (in kilometers/second squared),
would say the same thing about "pre" big bang that he said about time:
"Time is an invention of the human mind."

...no matter what he was smoking in that pipe.

Hawking is right; "pre" big bang, there was:
No energy
No mass
No physics
No human mind

"No meaning"

Must I say, "NOTHING"?

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 8 Aug 2010 3:31 pm

An infinitely small amount of time after the big bang, everything that exists now and will ever exist existed then as a combination of matter and energy, which are interchangeable, all concentrated into one infinitessimally-small spot.

As small a thing as we can find to print here.
But when Sis told Paw she had missed one, there was NOTHING he didn't do or say !!

This did not happen a nano-sec before she said that or did it ??

Given that the speed of light is 186,282 miles per second (in a vaccum), it takes light from the sun 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach Earth. If under these parameters, it takes light from the sun 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy, how far it that from the sun? Just in case you have NOTHING else to do!!!

Rick Collins · Post by **Rick Collins** » 10 Aug 2010 7:57 am

Roger, since a light-year is a measurement of distance rather than time, the answer to your queation is:
2.5 million light-years.

basilh · Post by **basilh** » 10 Aug 2010 8:17 am

As small as the point is, and I don't really see the point, in Paul's sis's case, that almost infinitesimal almost nothing, could end up as being really something to behold..

Paul Graupp · Post by **Paul Graupp** » 10 Aug 2010 2:44 pm

There were none of the modern day courses such as S-Ed in the one room school house I attended but us country bumpkins knew what a ( . ) was !

But I cannot bring myself to say (or type it out...) so I will stay on topic and say NOTHING !!

2.5 million years is 2,500,00 x 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds.
In that time light would travel 2,500,000 x 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 x 186,282 miles.
That's 14,696,532,108,000,000,000 miles

In British terminology that's fourteen trillion, six hundred and ninety-six billion, five hundred and thirty two thousand, one hundred and eight million.

In U.S, terminology that's fourteen hexillion, six hundred and ninety-six pentillion, five hundred and thirty-two quadrillion, one hundred and eight trillion.

The difference being that a British billion is a million squared, and a British trillion is a million cubed. The American billion is only a thousand million, which in Britain is known as a milliard.
