Often, individuals express dissatisfaction about a perceived void. For instance, upon opening a refrigerator to discover bare shelves, one might exclaim, “There is nothing to eat,” even if remnants such as a partly consumed yogurt and questionable items are present. This common complaint highlights a relatable, everyday encounter with the concept of emptiness, yet in the realm of physics and cosmology, the exploration of nothingness delves into far more profound territories, such as the vacuum of space and beyond.
