What exactly do we mean by nothingness?Im asking about when this universe was not present..not about space.
In science, "nothingness" refers to the absence of any material or energy. It is a state of complete emptiness and lack of existence.
No, a vacuum is the absence of matter in a defined space, while nothingness is the absence of anything at all. In a vacuum, there is still energy and potential for matter to exist, whereas in nothingness, there is nothing.
No, nothingness cannot be observed or measured directly. It is a concept that exists in contrast to something, and therefore cannot be quantified on its own.
The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a singularity, a state of infinite density and temperature. This singularity can be thought of as a state of nothingness, as it was the absence of everything we know to exist in the universe.
This is a philosophical question that has no definitive answer. In science, nothingness is a concept used to describe the absence of anything tangible, but it is up to interpretation whether or not true nothingness can exist.
