Nothing is more fascinating than the universe... I‘m obsessed with everything about it

[foreverbooked]

Short answer: We don't know.
Long answer: We don't know....yet.

[keyakilove]

what the hell is "nothing" and how did nothing become the universe. this doesn't add up

[adrieldsouza]

So basically... Nothing is everything.

If someone says... you know nothing...
Don't feel bad 😀

The Big Bang: exists
The universe: exists
Humans: *it’s rewind time*

[abnerthepig]

I use to have nightmares and panic attacks when thinking of this. I was only 8ish. What was it? Black? There wasn't such thing. Was it before? Time didn't exist. Was there nothing? What's nothing? What would nothing look like before anything existed? White? Color didn't exist. Dementions didn't exist . Makes me sick thinking about it .

The question here is : Where did that "nothing" came from at first place?🤔

[christopherkeller]

I get really pissed trying to wrap my head around the concept of “literally nothing”

[dourgval-]

3am and instead of studying I’m wondering about my existence and I can’t accept the fact that something was created out of nothing my brain is going crazy

[stephensarmento]

I get anxiety every time I watch videos about this and start thinking about it. It goes so far back and is so mind boggling I literally get anxiety

[connorlee]

I've been thinking about this question and it just messes with my head

[glennholloway]

This shit drives me crazy. I just want to know how shit got started. Like how did matter start from nothing or what created everything.

[RainingSaturn]

No one :
Jk Rowling : Universe and black hole had a intense sexual relationship.

[Ahmed-iiup]

It is just scary to even think about the universe not existing once and what there might have been.

[russbrewer]

The real truth... nobody really knows a damn thing about the beginning of our universe!!!

[BZ_Kai]

With how big this universe is. There's no way there aren't others out there.

[spinningadam]

pretty sure Two and a Half Men came before Big Bang

[realitypolice]

Everything: doesnt exist*
Big bang: *looks like this is a job for me*

[chtan]

Here is my new theory of the universe. I called it Dimension Disturbance. Everything started from the unstable 0 dimension and quickly moving to 1, 2 dimension (not stable, rapidly decaying into more stable dimension). From 2D (transitional stage due to no stablility), it rapidly transited to 3D and vastly expanded it's volume with just shy of a second. With fast expansion, it triggered another 4th dimension which is time. And I believe given enough time, the whole universe will be able to progress into even higher dimension. Extremely high energy or gravitation force able to induce DD by ripping the dimension wall which cause the dimension to collapse. Thats why near black hole, you can see the time dimension starts to dilation.

It's a strange physical impossibility for nothing to exist as even nothing is something. It's so crazy. Wtf. My brain hurts.
