Here you go Bob.
It is technically impossible to perceive true nothingness inside ones head, as even the idea of a void perceives three dimensional space. In order to truly understand nothing, one must consider a universe that does not exist, free of both space and time. Space because so long as there is space, there is something, and time because time can not exist without space. As this is beyond our capacity to experience it is also beyond our capacity to hold as a concept within our heads, for as long as we have brains to think with there will be something, and thus there will not be nothing. Thus, the only way to explain nothing to someone is to have them imagine everything that they know, and then forget it all at once, forget who they are, what they look like, what they think and feel, and then forget that they are forgetting anything at all. In doing this, you will destroy yourself forever, but you will then truly understand the concept of nothing.
