Abstract

This paper addresses Democritus' conception of the void as absolute nothingness, a foundational idea in his philosophy that postulates the void as a necessary condition for atomic motion. By analyzing the logical and ontological paradoxes inherent in his view, the discussion demonstrates that the void, as defined by Democritus, cannot exist as pure absence. Instead, it is reinterpreted as "pure space" or "indeterminate spaciousness," which possesses intrinsic structural and relational properties, making it a condition for the manifestation of reality. The paper introduces a quantum-dynamic perspective on motion, contrasting it with Democritus' mechanical model. In this framework, motion is not the translation of objects through an empty void but the result of continuous modifications within the dynamic quantum field or space itself. A thought experiment with a curtain and a light beam illustrates how motion arises as a perceptual phenomenon from spatial modifications rather than physical displacement. This reinterpretation resolves Democritus' challenge by rejecting the need for a void as absolute nothingness. Instead, motion and space are unified within the quantum-dynamic model as inseparable aspects of reality. The analysis concludes by framing space and motion as expressions of Divine Fullness, offering a richer understanding of reality's dynamic nature.
