This paper presents a hypothesis that challenges the traditional understanding of "Nothing" and proposes a redefinition of its nature. The ideal Nothing—complete emptiness—does not exist. Instead, Nothing is a fundamental property and a character, not a force or an entity, but a behavioral aspect of existence itself. The universe operates through the interplay of two fundamental principles: Creation and the Nothing Character. This hypothesis has profound implications for physics, cosmology, and our understanding of existence itself.
In the eternal quest to understand the origin of the universe, The Nothing Hypothesis proposes a radical yet fundamental idea: that all existence—space, time, matter, energy, and consciousness—emerged not from a singularity, fluctuation, or divine cause, but from absolute nothingness. Unlike traditional models that assume a pre-existing state or quantum vacuum, this hypothesis suggests that “nothing” is not an empty container, but the absence of all structure and laws. The hypothesis explores how nothingness, paradoxically unstable, may have given rise to the conditions for spontaneous existence, governed by emergent laws. Drawing from cosmology, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics, this thesis argues that “something” is the natural resolution of “nothing,” and that the universe itself is a necessity born out of impossibility. This hypothesis challenges the foundational assumptions of modern physics and invites a redefinition of origin, existence, and reality itself.
