What is Nothing? | Episode 1212 | Closer To Truth

Everyone over in the nothing universe is like, “what is something?”

This man has to be the most interesting person I have ever seen, simply from his search for the meaning and truth of our existence, his unrelenting curiosity. It’s also cool he grasps both the physics and philosophy involved.

Hello, i'm i Dutch philosopher and have been thinking about (the) nothing for about 23 years and counting. My grammer is not so good on paper let alone in another language but i do want to share some of what i have discoverd. Now i can't explain everything, the trains of thought how i got there nor what i exactly mean by them because of the language barrier and some quote will lose some of it's "value" because of the translation (so i wish you were Dutch ;)) But here i go. First of some quotes i thought of along the way when thinking about (the) nothing: - The shortest moment in history is the one that did not yet have a past (So what's before that....) - Nothing is something that is'n't there - Nothing is a thought that is not being used (what is a thought, what is it before it becomes a thought, what is it after it's been observed but nothing has been done with it) -Everything doesn't have a counterpart because it is allready nothing (for this i would need to speak in Dutch to explain) There is a lot more inside my head regarding this topic but it is to difficult for me to explain in English. I do want to thank you for this episode because i've never in my life untill now come across people who've also been busy with this witch felt lonely because i could talk about it because they didn't find this "stuf" interesting so thanks again. Greetings from Holland, Cees

So much substance in this show. We need more of this and less mainstream media. Excellent channel.

Best show on the internet. So informative and educational. Makes you think and analyze life.

It’s possible that there is no such thing as nothing. Nothing may just be a concept. Whatever gave birth to our universe may be eternal. Eternity is also another concept that the human mind cannot fully grasp. Great stuff! Despite our limitations, human curiosity will continue to propel us forward.

I’m so beyond grateful to have found this amazing channel ❤️

Thanks a lot for all your work and very interesting videos. I am watching all of them.

I actually had to write a 500 word essay in grade 3 on this topic because I was up to no good and when the teacher asked me what I was doing, I answered, “nothing”. I should had held on to that.

I love the structure Robert is on. I am glad it exists. The 9 levels of nothing is a good rendering.

Who else thought this as a kid in bed looking at the ceiling

I like the way Robert Kuhn asks the questions and the different subjects in this videos. Great work and keep it up.

i love that this channel allows me to entertain long-held questions, and yet the language used is usually simple enough for a high school grad to keep up with. edification right on my level. so good!

Dr. Robert, It’s amazing how you find the right questions for the right person! Closer to Truth is hallmark in human history. Best regards

The same idea used to frighten me as a child too. I would formulate it in my head as "What is there supposed be other than our entire existence? What would occupy its place if it didn't exist?"

Wow, Dr Kuhn doesn't even have patreon or any of that stuff, he just uploads for fun. Awesome

very interesting. Thank you for uploading it to YouTube.
