It’s the absence of something." ------------ Larry: You are deeply religious person obsessed by anti-theism. The latter is as dangerous as the opposite, theistic religion. The proof that you're brainwashed by anti-theism is your own statement that 'nothing' were "the absence of something." Of course you know very well that you are wrong, yet you make such blatantly false statements because your religion forces you to "forget" the basic basics of cosmology. Your fake example for "nothing" is 'zero something', that is, "the absence of something", like claiming that you have zero bananas in your ears. But the notion of 'nothing' is not like 'an empty set of bananas' (the cardinality of an empty set). The true 'nothing' has absolutely no presentation by anything *whatsoever*, and is the opposite to 'zero something'. It is the Noumenon, http://www.god-does-not-play-dice.net/Indefinable.html#simple If you prefer, you may call the Noumenon "something else", after C. Isham and J. Butterfield, http://www.god-does-not-play-dice.net/Indefinable.html#FR1 You can approach -- although not entirely comprehend -- the Noumenon only with mathematics, provided you are not brainwashed by any religion whatsoever. But since you're brainwashed by your religion, you just can't. Proof: Check out the text at the links above, and you won't be able to say anything. None. Why? Because you can't -- see above. As John Coleman put it, "It is extremely difficult to induce penguins to drink warm water." How about your colleagues? D.

There is no way you could make any progress on your ideas without the so-called 'global mode of spacetime'. It is *the only possible* solution to the task for defining an 'isolated system', by reaching the limit at which "... the system becomes "self-contained." Roughly speaking, this should mean passing to an appropriate asymptotic regime such that all gravitational effects are localized inside of it" (Angular momentum of isolated systems in general relativity, arXiv:0903.3016v1 [gr-qc]).
