In the beginning there was nothing. Then one day a whole lot of something mysteriously appeared, ruining the peaceful existence that nothing had had for so long. Unfortunately for the nothing, the something didn’t stop after disrupting just a little nothing; instead the something grew and spread though more of the nothing.

However, the nothing was so huge and no matter how hard the something tried, and no matter how big the something got, it could never fill the nothing. But the nothing was nothing if not giving and the something and nothing have learned to live in near harmony. Only occasionally does the nothing get annoyed when the something becomes advanced enough to hurl smaller somethings into the nothing in order to see if there is something else on the other side of the nothing. Generally the something does find something on the other side of the nothing, but sometimes the something only finds nothing.

Let’s recap—at first there was nothing, then suddenly there something. This new something was deemed to be a universe. Since the universe is something, then even where there is nothing, there is something. So there is no longer nothing but only something. Even where there is only nothing, there is something and that something is nothing. It’s all a bit confusing, but when you have nothing, you actually have something; you have nothing.

However, that is not to say that if nothing is something, then there has always been something. Just as sometimes nothing can be something, something can be nothing. In the beginning there was something, and that something was nothing. Then in the middle of all that nothing, something mysteriously appeared, ruining the peaceful existence that nothing had had for so long. This brings us back to the beginning, which in itself, is quite something.
