What is nothing? Don't use a negative definition

What is nothing? Don't use a negative definition.

It is everything else

A void.

This one is an obvious negative.

Cleverly worded, but still a negative.

How "void" a negative? It's a noun.

Nothing, by definition, cannot be defined positively.

0 things

The absence of everything

Well what is a void, then? And don't use a negative definition.

See?

So then nothing doesn't exist.

Emptiness. Nullness. Absence.

All non negative. Now fuck off.

Those are all negative. And being angry just shows a lack of understanding.

Prove they are negative.

null; the opposite of 1
nothing is 0
1=something=on
0=nothing=off
The definition you're fishing for has never existed, since nothing and existence are mutually exclusive.

Technically yes. Nothing is an abstraction. However :
>Everything defined negatively doesn't exist
As for an example :

>Let N\{1} be the set of all natural integers without 1
Is defined negatively, and yet exists.

>if something can't be defined without negatives it doesn't exist
This notion is wrong for obvious reasons

But nothing does in fact not exist
As it is the definition of nothing

It's the opposite of everything.

Its the summation of everything.

Positively boring

>define a negative word in a nonnegative way

What a retarded thread

Nothing = 0
Nothing =/= x > 0
Nothing =/= x < 0

The limit of the series 0.1, 0.01, 0.001. 0.0001, ...

It is a concept.

It would be the non-complement. Everything being the complement of nothing.

Sauce please?

Everything should include the set of things when added to everything equals nothing (else it wouldn't include something so wouldn't be everything.). so, everything "=" nothing

we haven't really observed 'nothing'
so we don't have any data

Define the empty set by A\A for all sets A. The empty set contains nothing i.e. "!nothing" is defined to be the element of the empty set.

If you don't like complements
An equivalent definition for the empty set is the set that satisfies
[math] \forall A\emptyset \cup A = A \wedge \emptyset \cap A= \emptyset [\math]

no such thing as "nothing" desu

>Prove this.

>Also don't use the definition that can prove it
Kill yourself OP

Nothing is an emergent property of human delusion. It does not and cannot exist in the real world.

Nothing doesn't excist.

What do rocks dream about?
Same thing

OP, you're a dumb fuck. This isn't science, it's semantics.

At BEST you can say it's linguistics.

I know there are no trilobites in my room. There are an absence of trilobites here. I have 0 trilobites. According to your dumb as fuck semantics thread it's impossible to have no trilobites in my room because the absence of something cannot exist.

Now fuck off to /b/ or whatever other hole you came from.
