Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“Paradoxically, the bigger problem arises regarding non-existence or nothingness. How do we define Nothingness? What is Nothingness? If there is Nothing, then we affirm or try to confirm Nothingness (Nonbeing), which means that we establish or attempt to confirm the existence of non-existence or nothingness.”

“If we think in this way, then we indirectly state that non-existence is impossible because the very existence of its non-existence denies its non-existence. If we continue following this thought, we may conclude that it sounds so paradoxical that our knowledge, comprehension, the world itself, or, perhaps, our language by which we try to explain and understand it is insufficient.”

“By their nature, abstract theoretical questions lead to tremendous philosophic or scientific discoveries. In that sense, they are essential and should be highly encouraged, regardless of how abstract, impractical, or inconceivable they may seem. On the other hand, if such questions only satisfy the fancies of those pursuing an argument for the sake of an argument, they are mainly worthless.”

“If our mind, regardless of being limited, is viewed in the context of reality or existence, then we can assume one existence consisting of all other existences and consider it as one reality of which, most likely, as our experience shows, most parts will not have the complete grasp of its totality. Nevertheless, they will still be able to participate in it, with a larger or smaller amount of knowledge coming from experience (with or without the help of language).”

“Even if we assume all Reality, all existence, in its totality, as an illusion, we still affirm and confirm the existence of reality—the existence of existence itself. What matters is existence itself and not the attributes we apply to our idea of reality. If there is existence, then there is a reality. Existence itself is a reality. Our characterization of reality as an “illusion” doesn’t change the fact that there is reality (even if it is a reality of an illusion). If there is a reality, then there can be no illusion about the existence of existence. The only illusion may come from our understanding (or misunderstanding) of reality and its various manifestations and expressions.”

“If we imagined “space” before any universe came into Being, there would be only an absolute vacuum. Absolute vacuum is not “contaminated” by anything; no matter, no energy, everything is pure because only nothing can be completely pure. Primordial vacuum, as we know, is not space because where every imaginary point is the same, there is no point and no distance from anything to anything; this means there is only a zero.”

“If this something is only the Universe we are able and capable of experiencing, or if we imagine the Universe, which is, most likely, the real, much bigger one, the space would still bear the characteristics and “colors” of the one we can experience. Beyond this realm, there would be no other point of reference (Universe), and this Universe would be only a speck in the realm of nothingness. Even if this Universe emanates some of its fundamental forces into the realm of nothingness, this would still be of minimal reach regarding the potential “vastness” of “space” (vacuum) outside that universe. With one Universe like this, there would still be no distance between it and anything else and outside of it (or, precisely, after some point outside of it); time and space, as we understand them, would not exist.”
