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.
Good answer.
Let's take this answer and discuss it out. So, we have now "declared" what nothing is. But, let's say we're dead, what'd be then? What's afterdeath? "Nothing"? A paradise? Hell?
I was reading a book - i don't remember which one - but in it they discussed the happenings of the afterlife. They said that whatever you believed to be after death would happen. You want a paradise/hell scenario, you got it. You want nothing, well you can have that too, and, to be honest, when i die,i am hoping for the void; eternal rest. None of that heaven or hell shit, just darkness.
Why would that be? Like, why'd afterlife become what you want it to be?
Also, why you'd like darkness?
He'd rather just be what he's supposed to be. Dead. What's the point of death if you get to continue to live a life in paradise/hell?
