Hi Smilin' Irish Eyes, by the way - love your Lord Chesterfield quote.
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool. -- Lord Chesterfield
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 913959Thank you, my philosophy is that all should seek knowledge of any type but to believe that you are wise is foolish as there is always someone who will know more than you.
Is it not funny - discussing Nothing can entail so many words? The simplest description of my thoughts on Nothing might be to expand on the studio description in the above video.
If one were able to vacate everything out of a given volume (by some process of force that we won't go into right here) what would it result in? Not a space with nothing in it, but a volume with no space in it.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 913959Would it truly be possible to ever vacate everything? How would you measure that all was vacated? The result of vacating everything would cause "the widget" that was vacated to implode due to pressure, unless you were able to equal the pressure inside the widget to the outside forces. Wouldn't that be the result as you described below? This is my understanding of how things work.
The phenomenon is only observable due to the space surrounding the volume. The 'inside' can only be described by the exterior behavior of space/time/matter. (Let's just call the exterior 'space'). The non-space interior could be termed a reverse singularity, in that it is akin to a black hole in that space is gravitationally attracted to it, but its existence consists of the opposite of a black hole - it is nothing rather than a concentration of matter.
Providing the non-space boundary is maintained, exterior space will gravitationally implode upon it, so we might assume that the boundary gets very, very hot.
- A fairly good description of a sun?
Best,

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 913959Yes, a very good description of a sun. Now what would happen if there is a second "sun" in our solar system? What would happen to our solar system if/when there is discovery that our system has another sun?
Thanks for responding. I am really researching plasma cosmology and trying my darnedest to comprehend what I read and listen to, relating it to easy to understand concepts.
