Is it possible to create nothingness in a box? Progressively remove all the content until obtaining a state of non-existence? What should we eliminate to achieve such a condition?

Let's say at once that nothingness is a state - "non-state" that cannot be created. It would not even be possible if we had infinite knowledge, unlimited energy and all eternity.

Surely it would not be possible to reach nowhere inside a box, a box contained in a Universe. Inexistence and existence exclude themselves. These are incompatible conditions. And, in any case, global, universal, total conditions / states. Reality exists in its totality or does not exist. Nothingness and the group of partial / total states of Emptiness / Somethingness / Wholeness are self-excluding. Either there is nothing, or there is everything. An evolving whole, which can have different degrees of extension, quantity and quality, of development, but, in any case, it is everything, the everything.

The only way to obtain nothingness would be to eliminate the Source of Reality or to stop its Action, which incessantly produces the Elementary Events which constitute the most basic "substance" from whose organization everything that exists is composed. But in this case, by eliminating or stopping the Source, instantly the whole Reality would cease to exist, and no conscious being could be aware of it.

For pure exercise, even knowing that we would not be able to reach the goal, let's try to imagine what we should remove from the box at least to get closer to nothing:

  • air (molecules and atoms) --> Forms (with their mass, motion, charge, spin and the more complex derived physical quantities, i.e. weak and strong nuclear forces / fields)
  • some (maybe many) isolated sub-atomic particles: --> Structures of Information: Vortices (as above, mass, motion, etc.)
    • electrons
    • protons as "hydrogen nuclei"
    • some neutron produced by the decay of some radioactive element present in the air, in the materials of the environment that hosts the box (the concrete of the walls of the lab, etc.)
    • many neutrinos passing through the earth
    • particles of cosmic rays coming from space
  • electromagnetic radiation: --> Structures of Information: Waves (with their motion, polarization, etc.)
    • radio waves from the cosmos, from broadcasting stations, etc.
    • micro waves of thermal radiation, from the sky, form the box, inside and outside the box, from everywhere...
    • light waves
    • ultraviolet waves
    • x-rays from space, from physical phenomena
    • gamma-rays from space, from physical phenomena, annihilations, decays, etc.
  • dark matter / energy: --> Structures of Information: Vortices (with their mass, motion, charge, spin)
    • the box, and the earth that hosts it, are part of a dark matter halo that includes the solar system, in turn included in a wider halo that includes this part of the Milky Way, included by the global halo that hosts the visible structure of our whole galaxy, included in huge halo that hosts the local group of galaxies, then more and more halos of the cluster of galaxies of which we are part, superclusters, and so on, a huge amount of dark matter, and the related counterparts of dark energy
  • dark radiation, the so-called gravitational waves --> Structures of Information: Waves (with their mass, motion, polarization, etc.)
  • all the ordinary energy and the mass energy, and the related quantum information inherent to (owned / carried by) all the previous stuff (molecules, atoms, particles, e.m. radiation, dark matter / energy, g.w. radiation) --> Information = the correlations between the distributions of the Elementary Events
  • all the interactions between all the previous stuff (metric, gravitational, kinetic, electric, magnetic, weak and strong nuclear interactions)
  • Elementary Action in its Modes / Components: Perturbation, Translation and Rotation (Chirality and Axix orientation): the distributions of the Elementary Events in their fundamental modes corresponding to the Fundamental Principles of Evolutionary Dynamics: Uncertainty, Action and Reaction, Least Action --> the fundamental laws of Nature --> small and medium turbulence in the quantum fields --> space-time and virtual particles popping up and down in it
  • Elementary Events: fluctuations of the Elementary Field under the Action of the Fundamental Force, the inner interaction between the two aspects of the Source of Reality, the Primary Source --> the turbulent dynamics of quantum vacuum at the Planck scale
  • Elementary Field: it is what fluctuates, in the space and time dimensions (space and time extensions are relative the intensity, density, power spectrum, dynamics of these fluctuations --> the quantum fields at their minimum potential energy
  • Source of Reality, the Primary Source: the source of everything, it is not in the box (or, better, cannot be "only" in the box), it is everywhere and nowhere, transcendent and immanent at the same time (the Fundamental Force, the Source's active aspect being transcendent, the Elementary Field, its passive aspect being immanent) --> no such concept in conventional physics

Supposing to remove the acting Source from the box, no more Elementary Events and everything formed by their organization, the box itself will disappear, and we that observe the box, all the Universe, the whole Reality will disappear, as it never existed. Everything would be lost, and no one would be conscious of this end.

No more Source in Action means nothing would happen... only nothingness would happen... only nothingness would "exists"... --> non existence

No more Source in Action would be like a scalar field in its state of complete, absolute, homogeneity in every point (space), forever (time). No time, no space, no causality. An absolute homogenous scalar Field without any Action by a Force. No Source of Events. No Source. Nothing!
