Clayton, I was thinking more about this last night and I think I've come up with a neologism for you. You describe a 'limitless nothing' from which everything came. Taking a recent neologism and tweaking it a bit for your intention, why not call it "Cypherspace"--derived from tweaking 'Cyberspace' and conflating it with the nothingness intended by the term 'cypher'? It's very catchy, well, at least I thought it was...but I could be a bit biased at my own creation. ;-) Also, this concept of a 'limitless nothing' is not a new concept. In fact, it's millenia old. It's a functional aspect of Kabbalah--Jewish mysticism. Their term for it is "Ain Soph" (the 'ai' in Ain is pronounced like 'eye' the 'Soph' is pronounced exactly like sofa without the final 'a'; alternatively, it's spelled "Ein Sof", which appeals better to those who speak German, as it leads to the proper pronunciation.) Ain, literally, means 'nothing' and 'Soph' means 'limitless'. In the Kabbalah, the Creation of the universe is symbolised by the Tree of Life with its 10 emanations; however, there are 3 pre-emanations that precede the 'substantial' emanations. They are 0) Ain = Nothing 00) Ain Soph = Limitless nothing 000) Ain Soph Aur = Limitless light Here's a link that you might find interesting, as it will give more information on both the Ain Soph and the Tree of Life in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ein_sof > On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 3:43 PM, Clayton Taylor > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > I have a hard time believing that energy cant be created.
