I had a really long talk with my friend today about the concept of nothingness, which is a label we put on the absense of something, which is a definition, which is a label. It's very complicated for me to explain, so I'm going to use a specific example; gravity.
Gravity is a naturally occurung phenomenon that happens to keep us walking on the Earth. According to scientists and physics students in the ninth grade, it is the force acting upon us that has a constant acceleration of 9.8 meters/second. I think that gravity is simply another label of something we truley don't know. Someone in a lab somehow found a way to measure it by numbers, which are also a label we put on nothing. Numbers were given a meaning by humans, but in reality-in everybody and everything's reality-they mean absolutely nothing. So how can we calculate something with nothing? We can't.
Science is such an odd thing. It's a world full of THEORIES. And these theories prove other theories and so on and so on. All in all, it means nothing. But what is nothing? Another label?
