Chris,
1.It sure is hard to visualize the absolute lack-of-all, I agree.
What I try to do is to shut my eyes and try to imagine the universe and
all its volume collapsing down to just my body and then just my mindscape.
Then, I push that darkness of the mindscape off to the side
If only through the we which think about that nothing.
Is anything possible at all without an observer?

From Douglas Jone's short story ( http://frombob.to/you/aconvers.html ):
But suppose it *were* possible to create physical universes like yours
within an appropriately specified computational universe. What could you
say about the origin of the universe then?
Very little, actually. Why? Because
