well if it is there can we see some please..nothing or dark matter ... if there is so much of it we should be able to "hold" some ... how would you know if the box you are holding held either

I feel the absence of nothing must ofer an infinite universe as a real posibility .... and while we are at it...in what medium did the big bang take place..nothing? mmm the Popes version of events is looking better

Nope , dark matter is something and not NOTHING.

Also unlikely for lots of deep physical reasons the monoblock ("singularity") that sporned the universe existed in a realm of nothing as well .... no I do not have time to go into details for my conclusion but even logically it makes sense that there was actually SOMETHINGNESS surrounding it "BEFORE". The Pope (and the Bible) is completely W R O N G .

At that point I depart this vacuous discussion before it becomes much ado about nothing. Bye.
