Came across this following post on Twitter, could be something of nothing, but some may enjoy some pondering.

Can't something be at the same time as nothing?

What is nothing?

You can't have nothing without something? nothing defines something and vice versa...

I think that's what the Taoists would say anyway...

PETER , a>k>a..`euler`. has always said "you think to have something new, only to find an old man with long white beard ,wrote about it centuries ago!"
EULER was a mathematecian/philosopher ....who answered this question beautifully.
e^(iπ)+1=0
e=exponentially compounding
i=imaginary number
π=pie ,a ratio of completeness in all directions, hence circular outcomes whenever it appears in nature.
+=movement away from your imagination.
1=you
0= infinite container that means nothing (-1) without you.

NO wonder peter likes simplicity in complexity.
one of the many reasons i joined bet angel family. :lol:

heh well I don't claim to understand a whole lot, but I think simplicity tends to make anyone happier...I think there is a thrill to be had from complexity....but not so sure that's what makes one happy...

I think simplicity in complexity is just identification of patterns and I would think that is what the mind sees as beauty...

0 ,1 = simpilicity ON/OFF
01000100011110011000001000011000011000010000= complexity : brain NEURONS triggered many times to form neurotic pathways that result to patterns recognition.
