真题
B
Part A
What
is
nothing
？
It
’
s
extremely,
extremely
difficult
question
to
answer. Because if you think about
it,
wherever
you
look
around
you,
there always seems to be something
there.
Things
appear
almost
impossible
to
escape
from.
Even
just
trying
to
imagine
true
nothingness
things
like
an
impossible
task.
But
this
is
more
than just a
philosophical
question. I
have here a box. What ,then, exists
inside
the
space
in
the
box?
Is
it
really
nothing?
You
may
wonder
why this matters.
It's about reality
1
at
very,
furthest
reaches
of
human
perception
,
a
place
where
the
deepest
mysteries
of
the
universe
may be held,
