Nothing is neither time nor space bound by anyone or anything. It cannot be seen, touched, or heard.

That's probably the best definition I've heard in a while.

Thanks! I'll go with t=(2x/a).

May I can ask what's your opinion on the question "What is nothing?"

I don't think there is nothing. There are particles in seemingly empty spaces, and, even in an empty void, there is still the void.

How can there be particles in "nothing" ?

Well if you have a given range of what our eyes can see, were it to be a space occupied by nothing other than air, you would still have oxygen atoms. If it was an empty space in a vacuum you would have Neutrinos and other small particles that are able to penetrate the area. If you were in an entirely empty void; no stars, strings, rocks; anything. You would still have the void, the perimeter.

But if you were to make the range of view incredibly small, smaller that any observable particle, just so that you can see the spaces in between, than, there could be nothing. Or something else.

That last section reminds me of a few units from chemistry, other than that, it looks fairly easy. Theelectromagnetismwould have to be read prior.

Knowing you, you're going to take it.

Having thought for a little bit, i'm going to change my answer.

Nothing would have to be unobtainable and unthinkable. We have already named nothing something with the rise of 0 in mathematics. That single addition alone gave incredible possibilities; with the inclusion of nothing, more somethings appear. So, maybe, Nothing is death. Once we die we are, to ourselves, nothing. everything we did, everything we loved, and everything we remember disappears because, at death, we don't exist anymore, for we are not there to view it.
