Ok, I asked how is it possible to measure nothing.

And still, how is it possible? You're not measuring something, you're measuring lack of something, which makes no sense at all.

So, to say that there's six billion trillion brazillian miles of nothing is nonsensical. What they ought to say is that there's stuff, then a gap of six trillion zillion miles, then more stuff.

But even that is nonsense. The stuff that isn't there isn't measurable because it doesn't exist!

So, stating that there is six billion trillion miles of nothing is nonsense. It's not true.

kooom baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ya ma lord, koom baaaaaaaaaay ya!

wow why are ther so many gfy users with six billion trillion miles of nothing between their ears:upsidedow

I cant imagine that many miles.

Astrid heading this way now. In a few years. I have no like because it wouldnt matter if i did.

Empty space for empty minds !

^^

.

So they did a brain scan of George Bush?

6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles of nothing..... holy shit

I'm not making any claims or assuming anything - your point???? :)

Don't bother answering - it's just a lot of assumption and stupid GFY testosterone bullshit and not worth the effort :pimp

haha... my mind cant take those numbers. Will lead to a crash

lol can relate. Speed of light travels around the earth six times in one second. So trying to grasp the distance it travels in a billion years kinda mindblowing:helpme

It's the nebraska of space.

and did you know that every galaxy has a black hole in it? and did you know that our galaxy is traveling thru the universe on a crash course towards the andromeda galaxy, but it wont reach it for one million years........

Now that's six billion trillion tax dollars wasted.

That's about four fingers ?

Think of matter expressed as a gas station.

You come up to a gas station on the side of the road, and there's a sign beside a gas station on some near-deserted road that says "6 sextillion miles until the next gas station"

That's what we're talking about here.

Sure, there's stuff, tumbleweeds, grass... maybe some stuff that's beyond our perception - that we can't see (oxygen, other gases, etc) - but no gas stations.... or, relating back to what's actually going on... no matter. Just empty space*.


* for the most part. As the article says, there may be bit and pieces here and there, just nothing cohesive in the standard sense of nebulae, star systems, etc.

If there is nothing, they wouldn't be able to measure it :2 cents:

You dont think the idea of infinity is mind boggling?

Again, that's like saying we can't measure the distance between gas stations because there's no gas stations in between the 2 gas stations.

:2 cents:
