Nothing

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 24 Feb 2016 10:56 am

Actually, if you read back through all the posts, (and I would only recommend the first few), it started out as an intelligent discussion on the value zero and the absence of anything. Then it got stuck in the groove of the fact that you could use the word "nothing" as if it meant something, whereas, in fact, the word "nothing" merely means the absence of thing. Words that just describe the absence of something have no meaning other than that, and almost every posting since then has just been a play on words, usually omitting to use inverted commas around the word "nothing", which immediately creates double meanings.

This entire discussion is around double meanings.

I searched the user list. You do not exist.
Bobby Lee, you're the only one who could create this anomoly.

Look for nothing to show up as a member.

The user list has no ego.

That's right, blame nothing on b0b.

Ego: he comes and he goes. Look for his brother ergo to follow.

Because there is no such thing as zero in nature does that mean that there is no place in nature that nothing exist?

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 26 Feb 2016 10:01 am

That depends on what you mean by nature. If, by nature, you mean the laws of physics, then they apply universally everywhere. If, by nature, you're referring to life, then there is nowhere in nature for nothing to exist, because in that place nature itself exists.

I just learned how to quote nothing (how to make a reply without a message).
Thanks, Gordon, tho I'm sure you'd say 'it was nothing.'

('But nothing's already replied.'
'No, that was ego.'
'Then who's on first?'
'Yes.')

It's become a machine.
It's found its driving force, in the spirit of the OP:

Wanna bet?

Charlie McDonald · Post by **Charlie McDonald** » 1 Mar 2016 11:02 am

I was thinking in the figurative... literary... sense.

No, I would not take that bet. I was even afraid to reply to Test - Ignore Me.

b0b Charlie did not mean NOTHING!

Ray Jenkins · Post by **Ray Jenkins** » 1 Mar 2016 3:25 pm

I think what b0b ment to say was don't bet "nothing"on it.

Gordon Borland · Post by **Gordon Borland** » 1 Mar 2016 4:55 pm

bOb said what he said and it was funny as hell!
Zero interpretation needed. He could make it so nothing is ever posted in this topic again. Imagine, nothing to post. Oh crud how could that be??? Now that would be something. Wait! How could nothing be something?
My MSA D10 classic is the best steel guitar ever made.
Go on I dare you! Ask me what that has to do with this topic!!!!!!

Could it be that 2016 is the year of NOTHING on this thread?

Gordon Borland · Post by **Gordon Borland** » 2 Mar 2016 8:50 am

Ooops! Dared the wrong guy!
