   Which contradicts my first statement, obviously.

   didn't require someone who would imagine it. If there was totally nothing   
   (meaning there was not anything at all), there would be the fact that there   
   was totally nothing. But a    
   fact is something, a property of reality. So there cannot ever be totally   
   nothing.   
      
   Let's get metaphysical.   
      
   If there is nothing, does it mean anything is possible?
