Why is something rather than nothing?

There is something rather than nothing because the state of nothing is UNSTABLE. But that gives the state of nothing a property - instability. You might argue that absolutely nothing has no time dimension and therefore stability is irrelevant. Time has to pass if there is a change of state. Without time, there cannot be change and therefore instability is impossible.


What evidence supports the claim that nothing exists?

There is no concrete evidence that supports the claim that nothing exists. The absence of evidence for the existence of something does not prove that nothing exists. The concept of nothingness is often philosophical and abstract, rather than something that can be proven empirically.

When to use anything in a sentence and when to use something?

This is a difficult . For instance, " There wasn't anything that we could do" rather than "There was nothing that we could do" Nothing smacks of negative thoughts whereas anything suggest s that this had been thought out. Something means to me anyway, that it is important . e.g " I knew that there was something going on" Hope that makes sense.


Is Ain't nothing right?

The phrase 'ain't nothing' is incorrect grammar. First, 'ain't' is not a word. Second, the contraction includes 'not' so it creates a double negative, meaning, 'not nothing'. Ex: It was not (wasn't) nothing. That example makes little sense! Better grammar would be to switch the sentence to positive phrasing, e.g. to 'something' rather than 'nothing'. Example: His answer was really something! He was clear, concise, and intelligent. Better yet, leave out 'nothing' or 'something' and simply state what you mean! Example: His answer was clear, concise, and intelligent.

How do you write a good question?

To write a good question the answer to the question can't be a yes or no answer or something simple like that. A good question would be: "What was your opinion of the character in...... movie?" The question must not be to broad either. This question will get a good response rather than. "how was the movie?" is too vague.


You love her but she doesnt love you?

Your question sounds like a statement, rather than a question. And that's probably the way it really is. If she doesn't love you, there is nothing you can do about it. You should find someone that loves you because love is what you and everyone deserves.
