0 Shakeepuddn Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Nothing I should have clarified "empty" space, i.e. "nothing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Got it. I think that it is space, empty space. Nothingness. Zero. Nada. Non-existence. It could be air too. I'm not sure. Edited December 30, 2008 by Demonheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Your close with the nothingness, but your thinking to... "real". It's not really nothingness, but rather a nothingness of something. Look at the use of "present" because non-existence is a lack of something or something not being there. And the "other things" are specific things. This thing can be both physical and not. If you were this or in this you wouldn't really be answering now would you...

0 bonanova Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 How do you read I may be present in one place, but not in others I took it to mean that if "you" are present in one place, then "you" are not present elsewhere. But it could mean just that "you" might not [need not] be present elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 that void gets it too, although that's probably just semantics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Void! Yes. Not nothing, but lacking or a vacuum. It is void of voidness. That wasn't very philosophical if you are referring to physically void. Now, hear is a branch. More logical and scientific but once you get this, I'll test your philosophical/scientific balance. Let's see if you guys understand the science of human nature and humanity in science. Sorry if I'm being to obnoxious or demanding or something else rather unfavorable. _______ Spacial streams are where I hide Around the sun I seem to reside We are each other's flashy killer From some sci-fi comic thriller I'm void of matter but not unreal "You and I don't mix" is our deal What you're made of, I am to But opposites, me and you Alone my people are minuscule But altogether, our forces cruel When we clash it's quite the sight You with me?

Sparks will fly It is often best to start a new topic when building off of an established riddle. You can always reference the old riddle if it is important to the new one, but doing it this way can sometimes leave the new riddle unnoticed. Just a friendly FYI And welcome to the Den! I vote "anti-matter", at least in theory. Edited December 30, 2008 by Grayven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Oops... Sorry. You're right. I'm just gonna end this. I'm rather terrible at this sort of thing. I'm trying to get better. Thank you very much. By the way, I appreciate your constructive criticism. I guess it just goes to show how inept I am in a place for smarts.

Thank you very much. By the way, I appreciate your constructive criticism. I guess it just goes to show how inept I am in a place for smarts. Not at all! I just didn't want a well built riddle to go unnoticed! BTW, did I get the correct answer, or were you agreeing with my other info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm guessing death, because if death is where you are, you can't be. Death isn't always in the same place. But it could also be nothing, be cause if you are where nothing is, then it isn't nothing. And nothing is present in itself when it isn't present. This one was a tuffy!
