Is the idea of nothing completely non existent and only created in the mind?
did our minds just create the existence of nothing, for no reason. Did we just created something out of nothing?
Possibly.
What is outside of this universe? -Nothing right?
Wait,
If our universe is in nothing, then what contains that nothingness? Something needs to be outside of the nothingness?
If we create a small enough space completely comprised of nothing, with not a single atom or quark. Would this type of nothing match the same type of nothing located outside of the universe?
How many different kinds of nothing are there? And if the example types of nothings are actually completely different, then that is something. And something always needs to be contained in nothing.
So all nothing’s are truly something.
So if nothing doesn’t actually exist… is that nothing? Who invented nothing anyway?

“7.) NASA’s Kepler discovered zero Mercury-like planets around Sun-like stars. Transiting Mercury imperceptibly dims the Sun, reducing its brightness by merely 0.0027%.”
From 12:35 to 18:04 Universal Time on November 11, 2019, Mercury will, from the perspective of Earth, appear to transit across the face of the Sun. Even though Mercury is only a little more than 3,000 miles in diameter, the fact that it passes between us and the Sun means that it will appear 1/194th as large. If you want to see the silhouette of Mercury against the brilliant backdrop of the Sun, you’ll need either a clever image projection setup or a telescope (with 50-100x magnification, ideally) with an appropriate solar filter.
But whether you view it for yourself or not, there’s an amazing set of science facts everyone can learn to appreciate this momentous event. Come get them today in a mere 200 words, tops!

“In northern climes it is a fitting time of year to die in winter, when other natures have gone into the ground for rest and to leave a place passing intemperate to their life’s spirit. It seems to makes more sense; equally offering the consolations of cycle over the impossible finitude of our mortal coil. For then, there is the Spring ahead - as though their lives will return in some form, however equally unintelligible, to rejoin us. The first fragile snowdrops even now break the soil; soon the delicacy of crocuses, then the increasing orchestra of miniature irises, chionodoxa, grape hyacinths, followed by the more assured uprightness of the tulips and then triumphant blast of rampant bluebells. So I mark the day with your father in my thoughts, and your present loss. A thin wan sun has come out here. I send you its warmth in love.”
.. a dear friend on knowing of the Death Anniversary of Babu ji , and of the related passings of relatives in the family , wrote a compelling piece to me , and I felt I must share it with all the Ef ..
poignant , strong and with overtures of looking ahead .. yes there is immense loss and the cruelty of the sadness it brings along .. but the hope that life grows again , lifts the spirits of eternal existence, even when the loved have left us , is embracing and so encouraging ..
.. but when the occurrence of several near and dear pass away, suddenly, then, providence begins to scramble from its siesta and introduces us to its capabilities in the movement of unexpected moves unrehearsed and unexpected .. that is the tragedy .. or is it the irony .. more the latter .. life does not give us time to judge its rights and wrongs .. it delivers , we accept ..
.. thats it .. game over ..
.. so we move on to better climes .. the Sunday gone by after several misses .. and the affection of the many that prepare the grounds of greet are such a graceful and grateful account of the moment ..
.. yes there are the many that be regular in visit .. but many that don’t deserve to be seen and acknowledged ..
.. some of the efforts are so endearing .. the tears of others disturbing .. they do come in and meet .. but their emotions are difficult for me to contend with ..
.. she waits by the gate ..
.. he waits upstates ..
gratitude and love to them all ..
