Is Nothing actually.... something?

[Forgon]

I just pointed out that there's no "empty space" within atoms or molecules, even if you don't count electromagnetic fields. The common statement that "atoms are mostly empty space" is wrong (misconception). The "electron cloud" reaches everywhere and thus there are no finite volume elements within an atom which would be "empty" of electrons: within every such volume element you can find larger-than-zero electron density.

But I understand your point; it is the electromagnetic interaction which governs the way everyday objects react to each other. That, and the fermionic nature of matter.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I've not dedicated semesters researching into particle physics, I'm actually an art historian, but thanks for explaining that.

Big Bang came from nothing.

Uh no.

This misconception needs to die in a fire and get pissed on.

The Big Bang came from . . . well scientists don't know where it came from.

Who are these atheists who keep issuing official stances?

I dunno, I thought our only believe was that there is no god.

I didn't realize we also believed that something came from nothing. Learn something new every day I guess.

Have to open the box of Yogg-Saron to find out.
