Commenting On A funny Philosophy, Nothing has a Cause
If causation is the only means by which to explain something then asking, “what was before the universe?” should seem to be logical and understandable. However, the logical answer would appear to be “nothing.” Well what caused nothing then? Well, nothing caused the nothing. Perhaps one would resort back to saying that God created nothing, but the creation of nothing seems an odd claim. One could go on saying nothing caused nothing forever. This again sounds like infinite regress. Is it absurd to ask what caused nothing? If something had a cause does nothing also have a cause? The cause of nothing would be that something does not exist. The “existence” of nothing relies on there not being anything. Nothing, then, relies on there not being something at all. A clear glass box has nothing inside it. Something is added to the glass box filling it completely. There is no longer “nothing” in the box. If “nothing” no longer “exists” then all we are left with is something. Therfore nothing has a cause.
