Our concept of nothing is a misconception from a cosmic perspective.

Tuesday.
Wednesday is hump day. Obviously gravity has less effect on it then Tuesday allowing it to form that hump.

No, what is not nothing. What is something.

>>3189964
Tuesday is more firmly bound to the week than wednesday is, thus has less less mass due to mass defect.

Nothing is an acceptable answer to a question that begins with a what, e.g. "what are you doing - nothing". Nothing can therefore be what, and if it holds the other way around, what is nothing.

What if the fetus is dying from suffocation?

Nothing is the absence of anything. It is a non-state that doesn't exist within the universe.

If the only observation of these bands is that I have heard their music via the radio. Then they weigh as much as the air the sound waves traveled through when produced by the radio.

Material wormhole is made of. Imagine two points that are at distance of one light year in perfect vacuum. It takes specaship traveling from point A at speed of light one year to reach the point B and fire laser bact to point A, guy who stayed at point A will have to wait two years of in his perspective till he observes the laser from point be.

Now if you put one light year long pole made from nothing between points A and B and guy at A would observe the laser fired from B as soon as the rocked is launched because nothibng must have all it's proporties be zero, including permitivity therefore lightspeed in nothing is infinite.

An absence is not something. To say something is absent means it is not there. An absence of anything is to say that nothing is there.
