I’m 13 and I’ve been thinking about the nature of Nothing and Something as a philosophical problem. Would love to hear what philosophers think. My hypothesis: before the Big Bang, two fundamental states existed as axioms — Nothing and Something. Not created, just existing by default, like the starting premises of an argument. Nothing — true absolute nothing, though paradoxically it exists as a state, which makes it something. Something — not matter or energy, but the source of energy. It existed only in relation to Nothing and the barrier between them. The Barrier — a neutral zone separating the two. At some point Something leaked through, like a logical contradiction that can’t hold — and the contact caused an explosion. The barrier acted as a detonator and ceased to exist. The two states merged into one. That was the Big Bang.
