Rede, I don't recall your ever having said anything "useless". One of the reasons I persist in posting odd ideas I am trying to make sense of, is that you patiently treat them with liberal doses of common sense.

Your last post suggests that, philosophy notwithstanding, there may be less distance between our positions that at first appeared.

Quote:
the "nothing" to which they sometimes refer is necessarily a multi-dimensional continuum in which quantum events occur. That, excuse my persistence, is not nothing.


Perhaps I have just been expressing it badly, but that is precisely my point: the nothing to which they refer "is not nothing". It must, therefore, be something. smile

There never was nothing.
