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.

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.

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.

Robert’s Apple Watch can’t keep up with how many steps he be walking 🚶

When I get tired contemplating infinity, I will give this a try. Head just exploded 😬😬

I love the fellow who says we maybe should just have a sense of humor about it and just love each other and enjoy the beauty in our reality.

You just burn my brain with your answer.

I thought about this while heading to school 10 years ago and I panicked like you, it’s such a horrifying but logically seems possible state.

I had this realization and this gut feeling afterwards (I still have this every time I hear something new about the subject) 5 years ago when i was 23. It does not let me go since then. This is, as mentioned many times in the video, the ultimate question. I can't accept the answer that there can't be nothing and there is no reason for it. Maybe I will die with the question but the question also makes me go through life curious.
