Nothing is nothing at all.

You are confusing everything with being all enclusive. Nothing does not have any matter or energy, so it is not encluded in everything. Nothing is the lack of anything.

Unless you count it as a word, in that case "nothing" is a word, and is something.

P.S. Stop using caps, you don't sound very smart with them.

Yeah, "nothing" isn't included in "everything"... Nothing is the lack of everything...

But isn't the lack of anything something?

No, that lack of anything is nothing, not something. Much like 1/0. People have a hard time understanding why that is not 0, but rather undefined. Nothing is nothing, not something. I think your mistake is take something and everything and assuming that they are all enclusive, and they are not. Everything refers to everyTHING, all that exists, but not what does not.

The trouble is that humans can't fully comprehend true nothing... We have a vague concept of what it is, but the full picture of "nothing" isn't within our mental grasp...

So, when thinking of "nothing" in human terms, we automatically think of it as being something... We're only thinking of our concept of "nothing", though... That is something, but the true nature of "nothing" is simply "nothing"... It is not a part of something, anything, or everything...lol

Something - nothing = Something
Everything - nothing = everything

but still the fact that everything is something, then nothing has to be something.....

Nope! Because everything is something! A nothing is not something, otherwise it'd be a something.

I believe we can't understand nothing because it doesn't exist. If it did, then it would be something. The most nothing has amounted to is a word and a faint philosophy. To understand nothing, we have to send an electrical impulse through our brain, which makes it something, and no longer nothing. It's like trying to imagine the 4th dimension on a graph, we know it's there, theres just no way to represent it.

No, you are talking about the thought of nothing, not nothing it's self. You are confusing the two. Just because you can represent something does not mean it exists. WMDs anyone?
