Ex nihilo nihil fit -rom nothing, nothing is produced

"How can Non-existence come from Existence? Existence alone existed in the beginning". – Upanishad

Nothing can come from nothing". In other words, everything has a cause.

Everybody knows that you cannot absolutely make a thing by hand in the sense that you can create matter by hand, because in that sense you can make nothing: “Ex nihilo nihil fit.” You can only make one thing out of another. I think the essence of making or of manufacturing is that what is made shall be a different thing from that out of which it is made – Supreme Court in the Empire Industries case

You can see this phrase in our Special story.

Until Tomorrow with more DDT

Have a nice day.
