And moreover, for particles to       appear in spacetime there must be laws of quantum mechanics, which are       something too.

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?              yes              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
