[MD] The Quality/MOQ dichotomy

[Michael Poloukhine]

Platt, Ham,

MP: As one who has taken positive things from what you both say, following 
your baseball game has been an interesting experience! Keep it up!

MP: I wonder, and this is not directly at you Ham... how do we define 
nothingness? [Here I am, the eternal linguist!] The very word contains "thing" 
which in itself is obviously not a universally accepted concept. 

I have no problem conceiving that the Big Bang came from "nothingness"; if one 
can accept that "everything" as we know it was contained in an infinite point [the 
implications on time seem to be ignored in this scenario; eg how can you have 
a "before" if there is no "now" or "after"?] why is it any more difficult to accept it 
all came from nothing? Until we can conceive every"thing", we will have no 
choice but to accept that some"thing" can come from no"thing".
