It's very possible that at least once you have thought, Hen or the Egg, Which came first?? It was my pleasure thinking about this question. If you answer Hen then you need an Egg, if you answer Egg you need a Hen, precisely two of them to make an egg. But then some Darwin fans would come up with a scientific-looking explanation where they explain the "the egg came first, some other species lays this eggs and there was enough mutation in those eggs that created the first hens, so without doubt the eggs came first". Well somewhat a good explanation. But the spirit of this question is essentially a deep rooted question, What was anything created from?
Its very easy for us to imagine that everything comes from something else, the fruits came from the trees, trees came from the seed, which was in another fruit created by another tree which was maybe a less mutated version which came from another and so on we can trace back to the roots of the first life on this planet, and if you still wanna dig deep you can reach the point that we all just started off of the planet, so where did the planet come from, well its physics, its star dust and it?? this will put you back into the long-told story or theory of big bang. It all started from a singularity. It would put you in trouble to ask further. You ask what created the Singularity and you could just answer God, but the curious ones can still ask what created the God?
You see the pattern. whatever I point you to, you can still dig deeper to the point that I get angry and quit the conversation. This naturally brings up the question what was at first?? Can something be created out of nothing? That's not even imaginable. First of all how do you imagine nothingness? The closest was the outer space which we already know is "not a nothing". I don't know what this paradox is called, but its definitely one interesting paradox to spend your weekend on. Trying to imagine "nothing", if I try to imagine "nothing" and I succeed then what did I imagine, the thought itself became something...
One simple explanation to calm my thoughts was an idea "the creation itself is the property of nothingness", no proofs, no claims, just a speculation. But the model of creation in my thought experiments went well when creation was a property of "nothing". OKAY!! What does that mean??
Well! let me put it this way, read it and let it sink... "When there is nothing, it creates something", if you ponder at nothingness you will understand that its the "thing"(well its no thing) with most number of possibilities in a reality. Its like a blank page, it can have Monalisa or Mozart or Relativity or anything, its full of possibilities and its undoubtedly the "thing"(nothing) with the most number of possibilities or essentially the true infinite possibility in the entire existence. So creation itself is a property of the nothing-ness. Think about it, its really cool down this path.
Now this gives one additional perk to "original" artists. Whenever we say we come up with something original its logical to imagine that it came as a permutation of a lot of other things. In fact you could just hand me over a dictionary and tell me everything ever written is in there. But what permutation do I choose? What is its motivation? Is something truly original possible?? If its possible to create a state of "nothing" maybe internally then a truly original work is possible, because the nothing-ness is a true singularity of infinite possibilities, so original work is a consequence of reaching "nothing". All this sounds really funny, nothing of this article has any scientific light in it, its very speculative, but the mind models that we can create with these properties are definitely a real piece of fun and art.
