Where has this been proven true? How has this been proven true?
In 'causality', or 'cause and effect'. It is IMPOSSIBLE for ANY thing to come FROM NO thing, or FROM nothing. Even you keep TELLING 'us' that 'nothing', 'nothingness', or 'no thing' does NOT even exist. Therefore, there WAS and IS ALWAYS some thing PRIOR, or BEFORE, EVERY other thing. Therefore, the Universe, which is ALIVE, and thus 'Life', Itself, and which is EXISTING, MEANS that the Universe, Itself, like Life, Itself, and like Existence, Itself, are eternal.

For when one 'looks out', as far as one can SEE, it is IMPOSSIBLE for there to be ANY ACTUAL 'boundary' or 'edge' at ANY 'distance' AT ALL. In fact if one was to imagine a line between the most other perceived planets, stars, or other objects, then what is obviously between and around those objects is 'space', itself. Which;

1. Obviously does NOT have ANY 'edge' NOR 'boundary' to 'i't (besides of course the particles or objects of 'matter', themselves. So, forever extending IS 'space', itself.

2. Because light diminishes over distance, even if one could see the perceived the out most stars, planets, or other objects, then that is NOT known to be the 'edge' NOR 'boundary' of the Universe, Itself. The Universe IS therefore infinite, AS WELL AS eternal.

And, because the 'Universe', Itself, is infinite, and ALIVE, and EXISTING, then so to is 'Life', Itself, AND 'Existence', Itself, ALSO infinite.

Now, if these are NOT 'proof', to you, then WHY NOT, EXACTLY?
You claimed life is infinite. How does that prove life is infinite?

Since the scientific community estimated the age of the universe to be approximately 13.8 billion years.

From this approximation one could argue the universe is indeed limited.

Existence encompasses the system known as our universe.

Just beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

An ocean contains considerable amounts of atoms and molecules as contrasted with the vacuum of outer space.

An ocean, or at least part of one, can be touched and is obviously tangible. An ocean provides material resistance as it’s densely arranged molecules and atoms.

The vacuum of outer space provides no resistance as it concerns minimal matter, minimal molecules and minimal atomic arrangements allowing material bodies motion.

Because of this the vacuum of outer space can be considered immaterial. However pure immaterial space would concern no atoms or molecules.

The vacuum does not concern matter in the terrestrial sense. The vacuum concerns quantum fluctuations, radiation, virtual particles and sparingly atoms or molecules. While molecules are considered matter this is not the same as tangible, solid material.

Since dense atomic and molecular structures are absent the vacuum provides no material resistance allowing material bodies motion. Thus the vacuum of outer space is considered immaterial.

Compared with an ocean, which is obviously tangible and material, the vacuum of outer space is intangible and immaterial.

Relative to an ocean or a mountain range the vacuum of outer space is immaterial. With the vacuum molecules and atoms are sporadic and dispersed to such a degree that solid, palpable material is not formed.

Molecules are molecules, not the space among them. With the vacuum molecules are so sparse it can be considered immaterial. For explicative purposes the example works.

Again, the vacuum of outer space does not involve matter in the terrestrial sense.

Atoms and molecules constitute matter. However if there are insufficient amounts of atoms and molecules there isn’t matter. That is the case with the vacuum of outer space.

OBVIOUSLY, and OF COURSE, HOWEVER you are ACTUALLY SAYING and STATING that what you CALLED 'vacuum of outer space', STILL, CONSISTS OF 'matter', itself, ANYWAY.

So, what you have been ESSENTIALLY SAYING and MEANING, here, is 'your term', 'immaterial space' consists of ACTUAL 'material'.

AND. LOL, that is THE CASE at the 'sub-atomic level' of things AS WELL as within the structure of a 'table' ALSO.

ONCE MORE, the Universe, Itself, is, FUNDAMENTALLY, made up of two things. They are 'matter' AND 'space'.

The 'matter' word, here, obviously referring to 'material substance', while the 'space' word is just referring to the distance between and around 'matter', itself. The visible part of the Universe, that is; 'matter', being ALLOWED TO MOVE FREELY because of the invisible part of the Universe, which is; 'space'.

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HARD NOR COMPLEX TO COMPREHEND and UNDERSTAND, here.

BOTH 'matter' AND 'space' have CO-EXISTED ALWAYS, and WILL FOREVER. And, because BOTH 'matter' AND 'space' exist together 'NOW' this means, IRREFUTABLY, that they have BOTH CO-EXIST ALWAYS. Which ALSO MEANS, IRREFUTABLY, the Life, Itself, and the Universe, Itself, ARE 'eternal' AS WELL AS 'infinite'.

Now, although the Universe, Itself, COULD exist either as:

'Infinitely compressed matter' with ABSOLUTELY NO 'space' within, NOR external to 'it', OR
An 'infiniteness of NO matter'.

But, as the Universe does NOT NOW exist in either of those forms this MEANS the Universe could NEVER have been one in one of those ways, which therefore MEANS that the Universe has ALWAYS consisted of BOTH 'matter' AND 'space', and thus has been ETERNALLY.

The Universe, although being able to EXIST in either form of 'ALL matter' OR 'ALL space'. ALL 'life', itself, NEEDS BOTH 'matter' AND 'space'. And, when there is 'matter' AND 'space' there IS 'Life', Itself. The two TOGETHER Create 'Life', which is WHY the Universe, Itself, IS ALIVE, and LIVING. Now, because both 'matter' AND 'space' have ALWAYS EXISTED, then so too has 'Life', itself, ALWAYS EXISTED.

And, it is the Fact that the LIVING Universe is INFINITE in size, and has ALWAYS EXISTED, the reason WHY 'Existence', Itself, IS 'infinite' AND 'eternal', AS WELL.

The vacuum, as stated, is not material. There are insufficient atomic and molecular structures to form matter. There are only sparse atoms and molecules scattered around, too few to form even a gas.

The vacuum of outer space is predominantly comprised of quantum fluctuations, virtual particles and radiation.

Quantum fluctuations are not matter.

Virtual particles are not matter.

Radiation is not matter.

Those comprise the vacuum thus the vacuum is considered immaterial space.

There are so few molecules in the vacuum they are negligible.

So, TO "daniel j lavender" anyway, quantum fluctuations, virtual particles, and radiation, themselves, are comprised of A 'vacuum', and then, SUDDENLY, this then MEANS, 'therefore 'the vacuum', which quantum fluctuations, virtual particles, and radiation, themselves, are comprised of, is considered the laughably so-called 'immaterial space'. Which, OBVIOUSLY ALSO MEANS that those 'three, ACTUAL, things' are ACTUALLY 'immaterial space', AS WELL.

HOWEVER, and TO "daniel j lavender", ALSO, 'the vacuum', which 'three ACTUAL things' are comprised of, is ACTUALLY made up of 'molecules', themselves. (but because there are so few molecules, in the vacuum, they are then, supposedly, negligible.

Which makes me wonder if 'this one' can YET SEE ANY of its CONTRADICTIONS, INCONSISTENCIES, and the ABSURDITIES, here, AT ALL.

There is NOT ONLY 'nothingness'. But, just AS OBVIOUS is that there are areas, places, or 'spaces' of apparently 'nothingness' BETWEEN and AROUND areas and places of 'objects' of 'matter', or of 'somethingness', as some might say.

Not at all.

The primary components of the vacuum concern quantum fluctuations, virtual particles and radiation which involve energy and mathematical constructs. Those things are not matter. Thus immaterial. Thus the vacuum is considered immaterial space. “Immaterial” means not matter as defined:

Immaterial (adjective)
2 : not consisting of matter
(Immaterial. Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/immaterial)

The vacuum of outer space is considered an example of immaterial space. Especially in contrast with an ocean or a mountain range as conveyed earlier.

For purposes of explication the example works.

Pure immaterial space would concern no atoms, no molecules, no radiation, etcetera.

None of that is nothing.

Immateriality is shown to coexist with materiality through the provided examples.

That which has properties or qualities is a thing, and immaterial space has been shown to have properties or qualities and real world presence.

Space is not nothing. Quantum fluctuations are not nothing. Radiation is not nothing. Referring to such as nothing is a prime example of sloppy language as conveyed here: viewtopic.php?p=742705#p742705

By this very statement you are implicitly acknowledging another thing thus indicating no actual absence of another thing.

You are attempting to limit existence to only one thing or only one location then using that as excuse to introduce nothingness. Existence is not limited. Existence is not limited to only one thing or only one location thus there is no excuse for introducing nothingness.

By this very statement you are implicitly acknowledging another thing thus indicating no actual absence of another thing.

You are attempting to limit existence to only one thing or only one location then using that as excuse to introduce nothingness. Existence is not limited. Existence is not limited to only one thing or only one location thus there is no excuse for introducing nothingness.

Absence and nothingness are not the same. This has already been discussed:

Bob’s absence from class Tuesday was acknowledged or observed by students, for example. Still only things occupied the room, students, desks, air, etcetera. All people and items referenced, Bob, class, the students, etcetera, are things, are existence. Nothingness, nonexistence is not and cannot be to be observed or referenced.
The presence of x means an absence of something else for if something else where present than x could not be there an hence absent. Given the infinite number of things there is a corresponding, if not exponential, number of absences of other things.

In simple terms the presence of a tree in a specific time and space is the absence of a car in that specific time and space.

A thing is distinct by standing apart from another thing, this standing apart of the distinct things means the other things are absent in said thing, hence the "standing apart" as seperation, or absence.

An absence is a lack of a thing, a lack of a thing is a relative no-thing or a relative nothing. For example a tree is an absence of the thing known as car, there is a relative no-thing as there is no thing as the car being there.

As an absence is a distinction it is existing, under these terms nothingness exists and you end in paradox.

Or in even simpler terms everything you use the word "nothing" you are making the distinction of "absence of being". Nothingness is a distinction and exists because of this. You are arguing against the very distinction you need to argue against, your argument against nothing is because of and related to nothing.
