Space is not "nothing"

Space in our world is formed by a total of 4 dimensions: The X,Y,Z of space and the dimension of time.

the four dimensions are intertwined as one property called space-time

gravity is caused my mass interrupting space-time and distorting its properties, which causes time to speed up.

Einstein said imaging a rubber sheet being space-time and a bowling ball was put on top. Then throw marbles on the rubber sheet. You will see the smaller marbles having a tendency to go towards that bowling ball the closer it is to the ball.

NASA sends satellite out to space and because the satellite being farther away from the earth the time ticking in the satellites is slower than of Earth. NASA corrected this problem by making satellite seconds slightly faster than earth seconds.

Is that what you're asking?

If you're asking where it came from that is a completely different answer. No one knows for sure. but Stephen hawking (an amazing physicist) came up with the big bang theory.
Hawking says this:
A Neutron star is a dead star with enormous mass. The gravitational putt (space-time distortion) is so intense it forms a blackhole. Within that blackhole (to shorten it up) emerges a new universe. However its much more complicated than that, I tried to keep it simple

there is no telling, to us right now its just open space that needs to be explored. when we discover advanced life in the future mabye we can ask them for their opinion on how space was created. there are probably thousands of theories.
