Your many questions go in a circle. Nothing is something in that it is the absence of something. Example: a space between words. Nothing is the bounded area of the absence of something.

I think you need to read a dictionary. Nothing is just a word, it means no thing, not anything, no part, no portion, something that has no existence. It has no colour, it has no taste or smell or sound. Our lives are always filled with something, that's why it's so hard to think of nothingness. The depths of space is made up of black matter, the "fabric of space" and within this fabric there is matter so small, that our electrons and protons are millions of times larger than it. There is space between these fabrics in which only gravity exists, and if you consider that to be a something than there is not nothing there, there is gravity. By this theory there will always be something to fill the void, even if it is just an invisible force. But I think you are looking too deep into the word nothing. If I open a box that contains nothing I can say "there is nothing in here". But if you want to get technical you can say "there is air in the box" But that sort of thing is usually reserved for children.

nothing conveys a meaning of absence of being but like infinity,we can identify and symbolize concepts but cannot clearly give a concrete, example of what actual infinity or nothing look like,color is just waves of light,that do not define reality, words come out of my mouth,what color are they?does this mean they are not real? no it means that the lens I am using to analyze them is too narrow or closed

"nothing" wouldn't truly be nothing if it was something. the point here is you have to let "nothing" justify its meaning.

you cannot say that there cant be "nothing" since even "nothing" would be something. you have to give "nothing" its deserving semantic integrity and understand that the only reason you discount the credibility of nothingness is because you try to PERCIEVE nothing.

and that's a null activity- trying to "percieve" nothing.

Nothing is, will and should truly be nothing.

Nothing lies in the mind. There is no nothing all things are. There will always be something.

You can't create something out of nothing, but you can make nothing out of something.
