    since nothing is something, and everything is also something, therefore nothing is everything, and vice versa

    Where Vanished objects go.

    So put on salt. what I meant is that nothing is everything, because if something were everything then it wouldn’t be nothing ( which it isn’t, because it is something) Plus anything could technically be something, though it cant be nothing although technically you are right that everything would imply the inclusion of nothing. However , real world semantics show that anything can be nothing, however everything can not be nothing

    Plus, If you have nothing, then you have everything, because you have the freedom to believe anything without the fear of losing something. yet, The most interesting part of everything is nothing. If nothing exist, how can anything be there do anything, without

    In order to understand, you will need to don an ancient tiara, which no longer exists as it was destroyed by fiendfyre.

    Sorry guys, I still don’t understand! What is “nothingness which is to say everything”, and how does that have anything to do with where lost items go?

    That’s why you’re not in Ravenclaw.

    Or a Transfiguration professor.

    It’s “nonbeing”, not “nothingness”!

    Aha, rebyidd, that puts a whole new spin on things.

    Perhaps objects in nonbeing have their atoms king of vacuumed up into everything else….

    (That actually kind of sounds awesome- if I’m wrong don’t tell me.)

    They no longer exist, so they are part of everything.

    Imagine you’re baking a cake. The recipe calls for two eggs. Once you remove the cake from the oven, if someone were to ask you, “What happened to those two eggs?” you could reply that they are in the cake. But unless you’re a particularly terrible baker, you would not be able to distinguish the eggs from the other ingredients in the cake. You could say only that they had assimilated into the entire volume of the cake.

    Now imagine the cake is the universe. Once you Vanish the eggs, their matter permeates the universe, but they no longer exist as distinct objects. Therefore they are at once part of “nonbeing” and “everything”.

    Cake analogy is clever.

    The universe is just one big cream cake.

    Yum.
