We’l l wait for Dan to answer that.
Meanwhile to the question of nothingness that awaits afterwards, the answer is incredibly complex while being. astoundingly simple.
The simple one says it all: that nothingness is no where, ever because it does not exist, even in the here and now.
That state is not like here today gone tomorrow, but it is more like here today and here tomorrow.
We really don’t exist in any shape, size or form as well, we just think we do. The thinking part belongs in that same state, and as time as we come to understand it starts to disassociate from what appears as thought, we start to see exist ence drop away from something we call ‘being’.
The cause of this nihilistic dropping away must be yet different and the scholastics cane to under-stand it as ‘essence’ or formally reinvented , essentially.
This ideal formal substance does make sense for a while to underscore the need to fell it aside, and then it all seems to create sense: I am a transcendent idea of myself.
But that can’t be so, God becomes the author in a vast book in which we are the characters that wrote the book to begin with.
So there. nihilism is felled by the wayside, leaving merely the Void, which does not exist either…
And than non-existence >>>>>>
fades along with the rest of it: leaving everything else as we see it.
And what is that?
And how does that relate to the ‘hardware’ , of this seemingly insoluable problem?
And which can not yet be universally connected to the software , seeking some correspondence with it.
