Let's assume otherwise. You have no time when you have nothing. Therefore nothing and something (what comes out of nothing) must coexist. This is against principle of non-contradiction. Therefore nothing comes out of nothing.

As this thread clearly demonstrates.

how does nothing do anything?

This universe makes no sense, if you insist that it's physical.

If it's information/data, it makes alot of sense!

I am not saying that nothing can do something. I am saying that something cannot pop out of nothing.

And what is the duty of brain? Does it process something? If yes, then material world is real. If no, then everything is illusion, information/data.

Actually everything comes out of nothing. (No Thing)

Otherwise that leads to infinite regression. There needn't be anything to account for another. Reality has no problem being despite your attempts to get behind its substrate. There is no substrate!!

How can you be sure of that?

Because everything else leads to infinite regression and explains nothing. Why does there need to be something else to explain something? Change your paradigm. Do a 180°.

Look. No I'm NOT sure. I don't care that I'm not sure. You might be at a different stage. I recommend Spiral Dynamics by Clare Graves

Because Harbal likes to put an extra head on it, one head's not enough for Harbal.

Maybe too boring for him.

Maybe if we put an extra head on it, we can create the illusion of the same thing over and over and over again ..isn't that right Harbal?

Nothing never came.

This is too obvious for the mind to grasp.

The mind likes to complicate what is essentially very simple.
