so to give the right answer to your question from one sentence assertion of truth, iwould say taht there is something out of nothing because nothing is self aware, and by being self aware of itself as nothing it is necessarly something existing freely out of it
and from that self awareness constant reality the self werent nothing anymore and the only income of it was to clarify and orgainze the self as nothing from existance constance the most productive positive ways
I experience things.
Experience of things entail their existence.
Therefore things exist.
There are both all the time. Something and nothing are the two fundamental building blocks of everything relative. Ultimate Yin-Yang of our reality.
Well, my legs always had potential to exist.My legs didn’t exist, but the stuff that makes them did. 
so we can definitely say that existance is of constance reality and never of what exist or even real
I seriously don’t understand what that means mate.
…well, we can say anything. For example, I can say:
“Reality have no exist when in universal robot technology”
That doesn’t necessarily mean the statement will make any sense, and thus hold any value.
In other words, you may want to look into translators man. There are tons of free ones, just go to Google and find one - I’d be willing to bet that your statements will make way more sense to English speaking observers if/when translated properly.
hi Chester, thank you for using kind words since i am not what i say, so the minimum when someone is meaning the person behind some objective perspective translations is to change the tone and talk nicely as a living one
nothing is aware and that make it existing, ok so far?
since it is existing then there are constance of existing prooving it while he done nothing yet , those constance of existing as self aware determin the existance of that nothing self aware
and that is why for nothing self existing it doesnt matter that it is nothing really, what matters is only its reality constance of self awareness, that confirmed that fact of truth by becoming more detached of self reality which is nothing but it doesnt matter it could apply to everything too
and focused on his freedom reality constance existance, seeing how the best to deal with that objective subjective fact is to mean always superiority as constance because, since it is the existing fact any constance taht dont do anything of it is immediately sense as negative existing and would be confirmed more by the fact thta constance is always the existing, if the other day is less then the first one and it is for always how would you compensate the lack of the begining being self aware as positive certainty existing free
so the constance of self awareness is always meaning its free realisations of superiority to be ahead and away of any fact being less than the cosntance add, it is a race in void existance to positive definition of existing superior to constances facts adds as existing true, but i guess it use to and resolved it from absolute realisations abstractions and the knowledge of truth as the source of positive existance ends
why should there be a why about it? - something exists - that’s just the way it is - to look for a reason why is ultimately probably just a mistake of the human way of thinking about things
sorry but i disagree truth knowledge is the only useful knowledge so you can be positive by being right anywhere since all is always of truth life sense
It’s just that we want to know more and more after discovering that knowledge works in certain levels of existence and reality. Given enough time, we work things out in the material world – with a few claims that results are reached in some other obscure dimensions also.
We are what we are because of all the things that thinking has produced for us, and that have cost us much time and effort. Therefore, we also assume that every result achieved by means of thinking necessarily requires time. And it is this principle that shifts the whole business away from us and says: ‘this situation is hopeless, we need time’, because time has helped to reach results in all the previous situations.
We can not do anything else except interpret. That is unavoidable because that is all that can be done by means of thinking. And, we have no other instrument. It is that same instrument that discovered the ‘phenomenon’ of intuition, and ‘understanding intuitively’ and whatsoever other lofty things that you can name.
So, the only thing that we can do is understand things at the level of thinking. There is no other level of understanding, and in spite of the fact that all attempts to understand this have generally not helped, we still keep on hoping that this instrument will be of some use in understanding things, maybe tomorrow, next time, Tuesday, Wednesday, next year. Thus, this is not the instrument for understanding this thing.
And if this is really the situation, that thinking is not the instrument without even worrying about another instrument, is there anything else to understand?
yes there is something else to do, and that what absolute say too, absolute reality as positive living certainty is because of another nothing awareness move
instead of being self aware constance reality regulating the race between positive existing fact and its constance managing it to be positive result of incomes translations, one self aware moved as certain living, cuting all its roots with those considerations going to the end immediately best action identification of identity
you can act as existing certain living since it is of certainty, by not taking anything of certainty incomes but by also moving since you are as certain self aware the constance reality, so move out since it doesnt matter the nothing and while it is certain act of what is certain there you alone, so you dont have to calculate adds and results, whatever is positive there consider it positively and move out always of it
and if you found out an absolute positive sense of living yourself then realize it as absolute reality there and move out also from by becoming that living free abstraction positive move and you can always consider the positive living you sense your positive life with from out absolutely
it is certainty facts deal with it positively the most so positive would be fully realized objectively true and everything can be right and everyone happy then
all the issues are revealed from what even void awareness choose to stay for not giving a full effort to what is best but not there, noone wants to make the right step as a choice he is alone responsable for
4tune asks,
Because if absolute nothingness ever existed, it would have no capacity to persist.
Nothingness is the absence of nature. If nothing had a nature, it would not be nothing. Consequently, absolute nothingness is pure, absolutely unlimited possibility. This is not to say it is something, but rather to say that absolute possibility is identical to absolute nothingness. Absolute possibility is not a something.
The formulas “nothing comes from nothing” and “nothing can’t cause anything” seem to suggest that if there were absolutely nothing, then nothing could happen. But this is a misunderstanding of the formulas. Nothing may not be a location or subsance from which something could “come”, but that does not entail that no thing can succeed it. Likewise, while nothing has no causal powers, it also has no power to impose the principle that everything must have a cause.
Since absolute nothingness possesses no power to determine anything, absolute nothingness would be followed by chaos. Since chaos is not determined to avoid persistent order, eventually something would happen that would have some persistence. Being would evolve into ever more persistent order.
Thus, a world of somewhat persistent order like our world should be no surprise.
Because your question is nonsensical? There is no such thing as nothing. That is a western concept. “Nothing” “Emptiness” There are only two states of being: presence and absence. The notion of empty space does follow naive realism. If I want to move something, I have to have “empty space” in which to move it. But with a bit of thought, one realizes that there can not be something (presence) without emptiness (absence) I put two one inch cubes of gold on a table. I place them one half inch apart. How do I know I have two pieces? Because of the half inch space (absence of presence) In short: Something (presence) must have emptiness (absence) in order to be a something. This in no way suggests “nothingness”. All there is is all there is. What you would call something and nothing is merely presence or absence.
“Nothing” is defined by being “rather than” any “something”.
So likewise “…rather than nothing.” is tautology.
You may as well ask “why 1=1 & 0=0?”
A. Because it’s true by definition.
Therefore abstracting ‘nothing’ from ‘something’ is meaningless and non-existent. Like referring to a human ‘son’ if they somehow had no ‘father’: he can’t be a son without there ever having been a father to be a son to.
Common errors: conceptualising ‘nothing’ as a plain black area or a thought experiment of tendency towards having zero spatial dimensions.
you can know nothing and be filled with life
You can know and be overly preoccupied with thinking about myriad somethings and be empty as far as living.
Well I for one don’t think the question is rubbish, but neither do I think it is especially useful. It’s interesting.
First of all, I think a number of us are misinterpreting the question 4tune presents. The question isn’t: Why do we know there is something rather than nothing? (as some answers indicate)
It’s Why is there something rather than nothing? So it’s a question of metaphysics not epistemology.
Second, probably the most honest answer is Faust’s.
I was going to ask “how could anyone know the answer to a question like that?”
Finally, I’ll give the question a go.
tentative, even if you are correct, all is presence or absence, you succeed only in changing the form the question takes. The question still remains. Why does anything exist at all? (Perhaps, “Why are there things to be present and absent?”) Logically I don’t know any reason why things must exist, why there must be something rather than nothing.
Let’s say for a minute we believe “something cannot arise from nothing.” If there ever was nothing, absolutely nothing, there would never have been something. There is something, therefore there can never have been absolutely nothing.
But why was there ever something instead of absolutely nothing? No one knows, or is able to know, what absolute nothing is like because absolute nothing is by definition inexperiential. But it doesn’t follow from this that the question is meaningless or that it does not have an answer. No matter how many arbitrary ideas I may have about why there is something rather than nothing, I simply don’t know.
Silhouette,
Something has to exist first. Change the form of the question. Why must something exist?
There is a big fat ‘I’ there that, for the answer to the question, has nothing. How ironic. How can such a magnificent and complex creation as a human being be so devoid of an answer to such a seemingly easy question? Unless our natural state is a state of not knowing. Heck, there’s nothing special or mysterious about knowledge anyway. It’s just naming things.
Because something happened.
