We can’t say that nothing is nothing because the word nothing is itself made from something, that are the letters N, O, T, H, I, N, G. If we look at the scene before The Big Bang, we see that at first it was nothing, that is there was no matter present. But after the explosion, everything was created. If we take a part of the outer space, we usually think that it contains nothing. But it has some kind of energy, as energy can neither be created and not be destroyed (conservation of energy) and energy is equal to mass times speed of light squared (e=mc²). So it means that free space contains some mass. We were born with nothing and we end with nothing. But our lifetime and our deeds between it makes us something. Consider the digit '0' in mathematics. Normally we all consider it as nothing, which has no value, but it depends on how we place that digit, and by using it before or after another digit, we make the number lesser or more. For example:-
Let another digit be 1.
Now it depends on us to put the digit 0, either before or after it.
If we place it before the digit, then the new number will be 01 = 1.
But if we place it after the digit then the new number will be 10, which is ten times more than the first new number that is 01, which makes it something more.
Normally our concept is that we believe on what we see. Considering this case, we have never seen God, so that makes God nothing, but our belief on God makes God something.
For example, if a waste wooden log is thrown on the street, everyone will kick it, after considering it to be nothing. But if a craftsman makes an idol of God out of that same wooden log, no one ( except atheists ) would even dare to touch the log with his/her feet because it is the belief that turns the log from nothing into something.
If we consider a star at it’s Super Nova state, we usually think that after an explosion it will turn into a white dwarf which is almost nothing. But as the entire universe is a part of Star Dust, it is that nothing from which everything is created.
Today, we are alive because of our consciousness, our conscience and our sense organs. The supreme controller of our body, which is our brain controls all these senses, consciousness and conscience. It is only due to our brain that we see, feel and do all the work. For example, when a tree falls near us, we come to know about it because our brain interprets it and tells us that a tree has fallen. Whenever we get hurt, get slapped, do something, see something wonderful, smell something, throw something, or speak something to our surroundings, it is only due to the interpretation of our brain that we are able to do all these. Listening to it, we come to think that our brain is the most integral part of our body.
But now suppose that, if, if we are surrounded and the universe is a simulation and the brain is the simulator then....
Suppose what we see, feel, touch, talk with and our surroundings, all are projections of the little projected that is the brain then...
If we consider all these things, it means that we are nothing. But the lives that we lead on make this nothing something.
