Why is There "Something" Rather than "Nothing"? | Episode 306 | Closer To Truth

Why isn't this channel at least 10x more popular? You would think most philosophy and theology students would be watching it. Many, many kids ask themselves these questions and they think they are alone. They should be watching this channel too.

Gym time for the brain.... Absolutely love this program. So glad it's on here now.

You couldn't imagine pure nothingness, it's impossible... Until i show you the insides of my wallet

Wow! I now know I'm not alone. I remember thinking about this as a child. Had to put those thoughts to rest for a while, but now in my mid 40's have found the need to re-connect with myself, and here I am. Really appreciate this, hope we can some day know the answer to this question.

This is the most fascinating question that mankind can ask. But I'm not really confident if or not we've that ability to answer that question ever. Let's try and see!

Life and conciousness is so mysterious that if I think about it too long I freak out.

Robert, you are the only other person I have ever heard ask this question. Though I must say, I have not actively sought out any others or been as dogged as you have in pursuit of an answer. I had exactly the same experience at the age of 8 or 9, standing in a field on a beautiful day. The thought "What would nothing be like?" was followed immediately by a tingling awareness that there would then be no place from which to ask this question. Then I had a mental flip that almost made me pass out. Thanks for sharing your experience and for seeking clarity on this question. Good to know you are out there.

Love this question. RLK must accumulate a LOT of air miles doing his research!

Remember that "nothing" can limit you from answering this question. Nothingness is a change that makes no change.
