La Nada de Pascal

Pascal intuited nothingness. As it is too strong, from Job and King Solomon in the Bible and beyond, intuition continued. Job met with misfortunes, diseases and lost his children. He intuited nothingness as the difficulties and darkness. In the extremity of glory of fame and fortune, King Solomon lost sight of truth and the essence of life. He intuited nothingness as emptiness and vanity. Pascal wrote about such two people in “Pensées”. We must not overlook this description. He was attacked by and suffered from illnesses from his boyhood. His condition was like that of Job. Pascal who left behind bright achievements in physics and mathematics is not found there. It is a light and a shadow of Pascal. However, he intuited nothingness in the shadow and in “Pensées” he developed a theory to deal with nothingness as the first principle. Energy is necessary to divide a particle. Further, a huge energy is necessary to subdivide a microscopic particle. Energy near infinity is necessary to subdivide it in the domain near nothingness. Nothingness continues to infinity. This viewpoint accords with that of the writer. Furthermore, Pascal preaches the world linkage of things, but this is extremely near the thought of the Engi of the Buddhism. This study is a development of the thoughts of Pascal.
