In philosophy, blob theory (also called metaphysical nihilism, or sometimes called mereological nihilism) is the position that properties do not exist. The reality that humans experience is a reality of properties.[citation needed]
For example, 'the apple is red', where red is what we experience, and is a property of the apple. Blob theory maintains that our experience is wrong, and there is no red, on this example.[citation needed]
Philosophers that have been or are blob theorists, are Willard Van Orman Quine and Peter Unger.[citation needed]
Blob theory has many similarities with the philosophies of nominalism and conceptualism.
