The definition of nothingness in this article is the absence of all substance including energy, matter, movement, or reality. ‘The Philosopher,’ Aristotle, concluded that things cannot, and do not, contradict each other. Such as, a something cannot and will not come from absolute nothing.

“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.”
Aristotle
If substance cannot come from nothingness, there is only one logically necessary conclusion. Substance has been, is, and will always be. If logical and scientific order cannot come from chaos, the necessary conclusion is that Order was, is, and shall always be.
