Critical Thinking,
homeschooling A fallacy from relevance occurs when the response to an argument is not relevant to the argument. They ignore the point and attempt to derail the argument by bringing irrelevancies into the debate. In this post, I will discuss the faulty appeal to envy, the faulty appeal to pity, and the faulty appeal to authority.

Matter, like air, can get hot. An absense of matter cannot get hot. Heat is energy. Energy is simply transformed matter. This is why we have the first law of thermodynamics. But nothingness is an absence of matter and and absence of energy. In point of fact, nothing is an absense of everything. Nothing can become neither dense nor hot. Things like air get hot, because air is matter, not an absence of it, and some of the matter in air can be transformed into energy which nothing cannot do since it is nothing.
