Vacuum.

Something I find irritating is the use by some charlatans, new age tomfoolery and other intellectual impostors, the word "empty." Let me give an example of what I mean, recently I heard "within a supposedly erudite following:

The solid material is gone, it differs little from the vacuum, any solid body is empty space by 99%. Our world, our body is made of vacuum, everything is empty, modern science converge and enter deep correlation with the central idea governing the teaching of the mystics.

This type of discourse has become quite popular and we have seen in movies with some grace as Men Who Stare at Goats or alleged documentaries like the infamous What the Bleep Do We Know!? . We present the "vacuum" as something opposed to the "material" as a triumph of "spirituality" on the science that is bound to falter, now complete! Mystics already knew!.

Nothing is further from the truth: this claim is by the charlatanism a conscious effort to deceive or a more likely level of total ignorance of the subject, a vision so distorted the history of thought that requires exotic appeal and eastern philosophies, always so helpful for this sort of fool the naive and uninformed .

Vacuum is no idealist materialist concept. Comes from the atomistic philosophy represented by philosophers such as Democritus , for that matter was made up of atoms, indivisible particles were moved and interacted to form the basic elements like water or fire, and all complex bodies. Atoms therefore had no need of vacuum, a space that made possible their movements, an idea that Democritus expressed in a rather blunt: "The principles of all things are atoms and the void, everything else is questionable and debatable ". Atomistic Another illustrious philosopher of antiquity, Epicurus , said so in his Letter to Herodotus: "If there were what we call empty space and evanescent nature, the bodies would no where to be or where they move, when shown in motion."

Science, heir natural philosophy has little to fear the emptiness and mysticism, heir to the scholastic and idealism of Plato and Aristotle little can take credit for this idea, since these philosophers advocated precisely the opposite, that nature could not have discontinuities. The contemporary physics through quantum mechanics and other disciplines has confirmed the existence of a vacuum and atoms, of course yes, it does not converge with the mystical, but to continue with the naturalist tradition that has always been part.


philosopher Gustavo Bueno speaks of in the next video in the confusion between "materialism" and "body", and how the material is not necessarily "corporeal"

Nothingness. The impossible materialism

If you are atheist you believe that the universe was created out of nothing?. Is a question that often occur with some frequency in debates between atheists and believers, true that the topic lends itself to this, but is surprising because the question almost always comes from fans religions of Christian tradition.

The origin of the universe remains an unsolved riddle, and an atheist can believe the universe came from nothing or has always existed. Are those who believe in gods "creators" who must explain how the traffic can be thought of "non-being" to "be." The creation out of nothing or "creatio ex nihilo" is also a Christian dogma, as you can see going to any catechism, which it seems, Christians themselves do not usually do.

The failure to create out of nothing is an argument for atheism, for example, is one of the main arguments of Sébastien Faure in "Twelve evidence of the absence of God " :

With nothing, nothing can be done and nothing, nothing can not be obtained and Lucretius's famous aphorism "ex nihilo nihil" is a certainty and obvious evidence. The creative gesture is a gesture impossible to admit, is absurd. Creating is thus a mystical-religious expression that may be of some value in the eyes of people who believe what place do not understand and whom faith is more necessary at the very least understand it. It is, however, a contradiction to every individual cultured and wise, for whom words have no more value than they have gained touch with reality or a possibility.

Consequently, the hypothesis of a Being truly creative is a hypothesis which rejects reason. Being creative does not exist, can not exist. Sébastien Faure

mentioned here the principle "nothing comes from nothing" that is typical of the materialist philosophy since antiquity, and not in vain Faure Lucretius mentioned in this passage, philosopher, follower of Epicurus atomistic tradition , one of the most paradigmatic representatives of this current and perhaps the first to formulate this aphorism as valid then as now. ---
