Abstract
Is the lack of a subject the same thing as having a subject? When there is not a subject or the subject is “nothing” the appropriate method would be to turn in a paper with nothing but empty space. This is what happens when I do not receive homework I e-mailed about and do not have what I need to do this assignment properly. The controversy stems from if I have nothing to use as a subject, do I still have a subject to use? I say yes but you may disagree.
Nothing but empty space The main points of the article talk about how if you have nothing in empty space it is different than having a vacuum or lack of existence. The first point is just because you can not see anything there it does not mean it void of everything. The second point is even if there is no matter in a specific area there can still be other measured substances. The third point is that even where it appears to be nothing there can still be an atomic weight. The fourth point is that nothing can be powerful. The last point is the emptiness is more of a matter of perspective. People assume that just because they can not see anything that there is nothing there. This is far from the truth. If I asked you to look at the edge of this paper would you say this is nothing there? There is something there. There are atoms that reflect the color white. If you are looking at this on a computer screen there are electrons converted into a binary system of control. Thus, even if it looks like nothing there is still quite a bit going on in that space. Even if you can show there are no atoms in a given space you can still measure other sources of something there. If you had a total vacuum of matter you could still have different types of light waves passing through that area. This means if you can see it there are visible light waves passing through the area. There also maybe invisible light waves like UV rays or radio waves passing through the given space. You may not understand what are on the radio waves but they are still there. Everything on the Earth has an atomic weight. So, even if it appears to be nothing there is still something there at the atomic level. That does not even include talking about the subatomic level. You could argue that there is still nothing meaningful there but that would go against all modern science as we know it. Even in a vacuum there is still an untapped form of energy. This is also known as zero-point energy. This was first postulated in the 1930s. This shows that even if nothing else exist in a given space there is still untapped energy located there. Therefore, even a vacuum is not totally void of everything. The last point is: how you view the idea of nothing or empty space in this controversial subject depends entirely on your perception. If you are aware of the multitude of layers in our existence then you realize that even nothing can be a very powerful something. Although, if you choose to ignore anything you can not see you would argue that nothing is really there. This is the cause of most arguments on this subject. In conclusion, even though my subject was nonexistent and therefore nothing I was left with the difficult task of leaving empty space as my paper. You said that empty space on paper did not qualify as a proper paper but your perception did not allow you to see the power that was held in a blank space about nothing. This is my rebuttal to the controversial subject you placed me in. Even if you give me nothing I will still find a way to give you something. You may decide to count this as nothing but I believe I have shown that the subject of nothing or empty space is still something to argue about. I hope this allows you to see the light.
