Nothing

It's difficult to lose nothing nowadays.

But Charlie, if you have nothing to lose, send it to me, I could do with nothing.

To avoid it all, I'll stop at nothing.

I am sure that since the new year is here there will be more new and different nothing posted here. Nothing seems to be everywhere, sometimes we just don't know it is there, cause after all it's nothing.

Remember your physics:

You can not make something out of nothing
Nor can you make nothing out of something
(i mean, literally)

I remember nothing of my physics.

It was a semester on plasma.

I've never tried plasma, but I did a semester on pot.

According to Steven Hawking, his explanation of how the Universe came into existence out of nothing is that positive and negative matter, which adds to nothing, was created simultaneously, and the Universe has an equal but opposite amount of negative matter and energy that we don't normally come into contact with; but when we do, it extinguishes some of the positive matter, leaving....
NOTHING

OK, now we're onto something although many think it is nothing... WHO "created" the positive and negative matter...

I could make suggestions, but then I don't want to enter the realm of religion and get this thread shut down, so I shall say NOTHING.

Charlie McDonald · Post by **Charlie McDonald** » 29 Jan 2015 3:17 pm

A good idea, Alan, to stay with positive matter and avoid the negative.. but then, I could have said nothing.
I think I just did.

"Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative. Don't mess with Mr. In-between."
Unless, of course, the positive and negative cancel each other out. But then you wouldn't have a song. $:\$

You would have NOTHING.

Larry Carlson · Post by **Larry Carlson** » 4 Feb 2015 8:28 am

Nothing has been posted here in a few days.
So I thought I would post something.
Which, in reality, added nothing of value.

Charlie McDonald · Post by **Charlie McDonald** » 4 Feb 2015 8:54 am

I think you can make something from nothing.

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 4 Feb 2015 10:15 am

...yes, 136 pages of it and still growing, which is nothing to be sneered at. $:\$

Charlie McDonald · Post by **Charlie McDonald** » 5 Feb 2015 4:13 am

I meant to say, something out of nothing.

O dear NOTHING is really moving on here and I guess that I having NOTHING new to add

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 5 Feb 2015 10:16 am

Nor I.

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 5 Feb 2015 10:20 am

Aah yes. I do have something to say. I'm just about to eat my breakfast, which, like every other day, consists of toast, fried egg and sausage. In fact this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, but, by having nothing to do with the topic, is exactly on-topic, since the topic is nothing.

In fact, this post is the only one on the Forum which can never be off-topic, since, if it were, it would have nothing to do with the topic ...which is the topic. $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$ $:\$
