Rockbiter:
Near my home there used to be a beautiful lake, but then it was gone.
Tiny:
Did the lake dry up?
Rockbiter:
No, it just wasn't there anymore. Nothing was there anymore. Not even a dried up lake.
Tiny:
A hole ?
Rockbiter:
No, a hole would be something. Nah, it was nothing. And it got bigger and bigger. First there was no lake anymore and then finally, no rocks.

We have a lot of imagination around this. Actually, we know nothing about nothing. We like to talk about it because it has a mysterious quality.
We all know that when we empty a container, there is nothing left inside. The "big nothing" that I think you are talking about is impossible to know.
I'm sitting here looking across the room. I see many objects, but there is a lot of nothing (space) in the room, as well. This is one sort of visible form of nothing.

Depends on the circumstances and surroundings which you are referring to. Other than that....just a noun.

it's what you would tell your boss if he looked over your shoulder during work hours and asked: "What value is your time spent on Yahoo Answers serving this company?"
