nope, nothin, nadda, zip
Ever try to imagine nothingness? Well whatever you have imagined it to be, it is not that. For whatever we imagine, we imagine it as something, and thus to imagine nothing, is to imagine it as something, which it is not. Nothing is not even dark, for to ascribe darkness to nothing is to ascribe an attribute to it, but nothing has not attributes, and so it can't be dark.
Human language has not even the words to describe nothing, for as soon as we describe a word to it, we describe it as something. But nothing is not something. Because of this linguistic limitation, paradoxes result. We cannot describe nothing in words, but only in the quiet contemplation of our minds, and perhaps not even then can we grasp the mystery that is nothing.
