It doesn't rely upon a gentleman's agreement, it needs modernizing to make it less simplistic. This project has already led me to see that I should pu...

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. It sounds like you got to the end of the road for the physical portion of the argument, the question is if it can...

We potentially agree more than you think, but not in the way that you think. I think logic as it stands now is 2 dimensional, and as such you get cont...

We can only TRULY talk around finite things. Otherwise, we are forced to talk about the infinite from within. Thus, there is an element to which it ca...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading how you came to conclude the word "nonexistence" has the same problems I did, it simply is a concept you can't talk about...

Infinity isn't a thing, but a perpetuation of a thing or state of being, a property. In your argument, you treat it as a thing which it is not.

I'm not against your conclusions, and not against your arguments, mostly because there is an oversimplification of my argument which is missing key el...

A lot of your problems I tried addressing already in the video I made, the words "exist" and "doesn't exist" operate fine when speaking about the mate...

I should also mention, it isn't the sentence which is the contradiction as much as it is the word itself. Nonexistence is a noun, nouns refer to thing...

If language, philosophy, etc. don't allow for the discussion of absolute nothingness, that says it all right there. I talk about absolute nothingness ...

And we are back to the notion it is impossible--grammatically, logically, etc. I am aware of this, and is the basis of the argument. Now, whether I am...

I should also probably mention, that although the argument begins from physical and scientific position, it is largely meant to be a platform by which...

I mention in the video that there is a distinction between saying something doesn't exist and talking about nonexistence itself. When you say somethin...

Go ahead and form it better, I have run through many different sentences in my mind and any sentence discussing nonexistence in general seems to face ...

I wasn't a part of that discussion, is this "vacuum energy" you talk about the same as dark matter or just a related concept? Either way, the longer I...

But will a "quantum vacuum" hold that state perpetually for all time? Or is it a transient state? Can an infinite quantum vacuum exist on the outskirt...
