I answered this twice about two weeks ago!. i will only add a few thoughts to the previous answers!.

------------

I was listening to a autdiobook that covered this topic in detail!. It may have bee The fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Green!.

The Quantum Vacuum is full of things popping in and out of existence, with time ebbing and fowing backwards and forwards, but with forward time flowing stronger!.

One explanation is that everything is a giant computer simulation, with distances between atoms being represented in a variety of possible ways!. If this is the case the question may become meaningless, except of counting the number of bits separating representations of objects!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its hard to imagine an infinitely vast universe but even harder to imagine an infinitely vast nothing!. We cannot fully comprehend what we cannot see but htat doesnt mean it isnt there!. We cant see wind but its there, we cant atoms but they're there, and we cant see nothin but its there!. Its as fundamental to the universe as dark matter(the opposite of matter which balances the universe)!. Good balances bad, light balances dark, and something balances nothing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Please for give me if I repeat myself

Nothing is a negation, such as dark is a negation of light!.
Darkness does not exist!

These things are called privatives,
1!. Causing deprivation, lack, or loss!.
2!. Grammar Altering the meaning of a term from positive to negative!.

Quiet does not exist, there is only a lack of noise!

So no! pure nothingness doesn't exist! there are only states where something is lacking, and if there3 is something called nothing then it is not pure nothingness as it contains itself then one must define that which is contained as something!

I hope you were able to follow me on that one ;-))Www@QuestionHome@Com

it most deffinitely does, I mean we are writing about it rn't we!?

-edit
its what all the dead people eat, but when the living eat it they die!.!.!. I don't know how to say it!.!.!. a few bucks is bether than nothing but nothing is better than complete security and happiness for eternity!.!.!. its all so confusingWww@QuestionHome@Com

"technically speaking" there is no space between atoms right!? because atoms are EVERYTHING !. They are the building block for everythinh so no there isnt a such thing called nothingWww@QuestionHome@Com
