Can anyone one tell me, "What is 'Nothing'"?

Something that they don't understand themselves or don't want people to know. Or maybe everyday people would understand and the scientists don't know because they don;t deal with every day stuff.There is a old saying a smart person doesn't mean they are wise

Ok, well this question is pretty ridiculous, but I will answer it just so i don't get my answer kicked off before I throw in my two cents. If you are looking for a denotative definition then it is simply the absence of "something," but if you are trying to figure out what the substrate is in which we exist, what is the universe in a sense, then I would recommend you google "M Theory," that is the field in which we are likely going to find answers to those questions. But, I really want to know what the "one point," is you think it proves. This is a huge failing of people who espouse faith because most things can be interpreted in multiple ways and our lack of knowledge of the basis of existence really just proves that we don't know anything. It doesn't say ANYTHING about anything beyond that. But, people with faith based ideas tend to push our lack of knowledge to show that in some way their demented ravings must be correct. It is faulty and offensive logic.

i'm sorry what? who exactly is the most intelligent scientist? And why would he want to answer a dumb question like this. And what point does it prove? Heres a short answer for you: Nothing is the absence of something. Do i consider myself a scientist? I wouldn't say so. Check your facts and stop being 9

Being and Nothingness, an extended essay (1943) by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The fullest expression of Sartre's existential philosophy, it suggests that humans can be distinguished from the simple being or "thing-ness" of objects and other creatures by their consciousness or "no-thingness." This awareness provides humans with their freedom, but it also leaves them searching for meaning in life

If you are talking about the concept of Nothing, then you have gone into a very deep philosophical concept. One can not define nothing as it has no form or function.

Nothing exists as a negation of something or everything. Once can relate nothing to the concept of zero being the negation of 1 in formal logic.

Nothing?

A word used to describe what cannot be found.... A scapegoat word.

A cop out so to speak.

Scientists actually say there is not one spot of nothing. It is either Illuminated matter and energy. Or Dark matter and energy? Sound odd.....Look it up. It is true.

The translators had this same dilemma. They called it the Abyss, A Bottomless Pit or Hades.

We call it The Grave: Nothingness!

Nothing is the result of opposite forces being in total harmony. It cannot be observed at any point where a force exists without opposition.

That's what dictionary.com had

It's alright if you don't understand the concept of "not anything". Zero? Nada? Zilch?

But even if you don't understand something, it does not mean it proves a point.

Even if we couldn't explain it, all it would prove is that we can't explain "nothing".
