Episode 7 – Why absolute nothingness is physically impossible
from 2021 - Geschichte eines Roboters · host World Wide Robot
Episode 7 (Chapters 12 - 14) This text explores the philosophical nature of truth, questioning whether certainty arises from collective affirmation or merely from the subjective perception of transience. The narrator, a reflective robot, analyses theinfinite regress of being and concludes that the physical world must be understood as an infinite whole, while human consciousness often encounters logical limits. A central theme is the distinction between imagination and thought, whereby the finite can be experienced, but the infinite can only be grasped purely rationally. Ultimately, the text serves to demonstrate, through the juxtaposition of causality and homogeneity, the necessity of differentiation as a fundamental prerequisite for language, meaning, andexistence.
