I am pretty sure I have got this one Alex :>). I have thought about this for over 10 years.

A canvas is not the concept here. Nor is it empty space. Or even a vacuum. And it has nothing to do with math as it doesn't exist.

Therein lies the answer. Nothing does not exist. At all.

Try and think of nothing. Can't be done. Can't be done because nothing doesn't exist and you cannot think of something that does not exist at all.

Nothing is nothing. Now here is some logic to give you a foothold. If there was, no nothing, then there would be too much something.

If there was no nothing then what is on the other side of something. Something could never be as big as nothing and someting, even in infinity. So there has to be some nothing..

What I do is pretend I am at the end of the universe. If the universe stopped expanding at that point, but you kept walking you would be creating new space out of nothing-lol.

I had to smoke a doobie to explain that.

if there is nothing there how can you put something there?

you can't just call it "nothing"... even if it is empty space that is something

a blank canvas is "something"... there is no "rational" answer to this, that is why it is so intriguing

infinite cannot mathematically exist, but then how can it not... there will always be something, even if it is nothing, lol

that's why i say it's a circular thing, as opposed to linear
