You may think of nothing as zero dimensions. Then empty space may be the expression of nothing in three dimensions, but without anything relative to anything else, is there width, depth, height? This is the foundation of relativity. Something is only relative to something else, in the end, all equations balance with an equal sign, all accounts add up, all debts are paid, and what you are left with is nothing. Negentropy and entropy all are the turning of the tide dissolving back into the equilibrium of nothingness. All phenomena are passing phantoms, mirages, images in soap bubbles. Only appearing solid and real because they resonate with the same frequency as our thought, just like dreams appear real only when we are dreaming. But what sets the wave in motion? Chaos may be like silence, with no time signature. But there is a drumbeat to this Universe, and a rhythm to every orbit. Our heartbeats are in 2/4 or 4/4 time signature. If we add some swing (jazz) to this we get 6/8. If we add double swing we get 9/16. 6/8 time signature is swing interchangeably with the waltz (3/4). Thus all things and all dimensions are born from the first thing, the first beat. This first beat we call the Big Bang, but how did everything that exists come from a singularity of nothing with no dimensions?
Could it be that, just like "I", that the Universe is just an idea that dies with me/you? Is the Universe any more real than the self? Yes and no. What happens to all the energy, all the form, all the shapes and colors? Questions like these don't have neat tidy answers. The Universe isn't so black and white. Actually, it is the Cosmic Paradox that is the source of energy that powers this dream Universe like a dynamo. We can come to no conclusions. All ultimate conclusions are counterfeit. We settle for consolations or give up in despair and accept our lot. Either way we live in ignorance. Unless we don't fool ourselves with conclusions. If your mind is made up, if you can't see the truth of all contradictions, then you haven't penetrated the central kernel. The Universe is expanding. It is growing and evolving. If there is no soul, perhaps one will evolve as we consider the idea. On one side of the threshold we have the singularity as pure potential, on the other we have the singularity unfolded into a song that is you, your life, your world, your Universe, your Cosmic time scale from the big bang to the big crunch. Then the song is over. We give ourselves a standing ovation and an encore and do it all over again eternally.
