The Official "i Got Nothing" Thread


Recommended Posts

Nothing is the lack or absence of anything. Colloquially, however, the term is often used to describe a particularly unimpressive thing, event, or object.In mathematics, nothing does not have a technical meaning. It could be said that a set contains "nothing" if and only if it is the empty set, in which case its cardinality (or size) is zero. In other words, the word "nothing" is an informal term for an empty set.In physics, the word nothing is not used in any technical sense. A region of space is called a vacuum if it does not contain any matter. But it can contain physical fields. In fact, it is practically impossible to construct a region of space which contains no matter or fields, since gravity cannot be blocked and all objects at a non-zero temperature radiate electromagnetically. However, supposing such a region existed, it would still not be "nothing", since it has properties and a measureable existence as part of the quantum-mechanical vacuum.The concept of "nothing" has been studied throughout history by philosophers and theologians; many have found that careful consideration of the notion can easily lead to the logical fallacy of reification. (If one does not believe that nothing is no thing.) The understanding of "nothing" varies widely between cultures, especially between Western and Eastern cultures and philosophical traditions. For instance, emptiness, unlike "nothingness," is considered a state of mind in Buddhism (See Nirvana, Mu, Enlightenment). Existentialism and Heidegger have brought these two understandings closer together.

aren't there point places of no-gravity, like somewhere in between the earth and the moon, the gravitational feilds cancel each other out. This must be possible in a 3D frame also.

At first I thought I wanted that t-shirt but then I realised it wouldn't look funny unless I was a 6'5, 250lb body-building man, or dressed in full army get up and camouflage make up like the beast in the picture. If you don't look like you're about to go out people-hunting it would just come across as passive-aggressive or even emo/gothic. A scary thought.

I just farted, but it felt like a shart at first.... but nay, it was just a good ol' juicy "you think it's a shart but it really will just stink up the room so anyone who comes in thinks you can't control your bodily functions" anal discharge.I just farted again. IQ, i'm also not wearing pants... quite a risk.

The psychology of the joke would change COMPLETELY if an 18 year old Londoner Chick were wearing it. You know, in a pretty lame and emo way. So good call. I could pull it off because I'd be walking around with a goofy grin on my face all afternoon, pointing at the shirt and asking people to take pictures. The response would be some variation of, "Man... that Wang kid is weird, and he sure enjoys himself." I sure do, honey. I sure do.Wang

Every time I try to think of nothing, trains and turkeys come to mind. If there is a shrink in this board, please tell me what that means.
A gang of turkeys ran train on your Mom when you were 7 ... you witnessed it first hand and it is now seared into your subconscious.Good luck.
