Thread: Start with Nothing

Yes, they don't exist - but does their lack of existence exist, as a quantifiable thing?

The point is that darkness is not an existence, it is simply the lack of existence of light.

This sort of what I was driving at earlier with my point. What we term existence and non-existence actually comes with a lot of excess baggage, and this baggage simply isn't there without a universe.

Imagine what the world would look like with no light. To our eyes, it would appear black. Now try to imagine what it would look like if there were no such thing as colour (what we call black is in fact a colour!) Tricky.
