Some will know various philosophical, mathematical and linguistic paradoxes.

The paradox I will present is the statement that:

"There is nothing."

I want to follow this firstly by stating that nothing comes from nothing. If some thing came from nothing then anything can come from nothing. Therefore nothing is nothing, and nothing comes from nothing. It's the ultimate undeniable fact. It's the statement of the absoluteness of nothing.

Coming back to "There is nothing."

It's a paradox because "is" implies existence. In other words "is" exists and therefore is something.

But "nothing" is absolute. So there can not be nothing when there is something.

Hence the ultimate paradox.
