   If there were nothing, there wouldn't be nothing.   
      
   Nothing is a state of total nonbeing, but it's also a state that can only be   
   conceived of relative to a state of somethingness. In order to imagine   
   nothingness, you have to be in a world where nothingness doesn't exist.   
      
   In fact, I'm not sure that pure "nothing" is, ever will be, or ever has been   
   possible. I've never heard a good argument for how something can come from   
   nothing.   
      
   Even particles that supposedly blink in and out of existence come from the   
   fabric of spacetime - whatever that even "is".   
      
   If total nothingness ever was, it would seem to continue to always be. Which   
   contradicts my first statement, obviously.
