Nothingness or a void indicates the absence of matter in the space.Since Darkness[absence of light or it's effect] or brightness[effect of light] can not be described as a matter,these may or may not be present therein.The equation shown by you[if it's an equation] does not hold good.There are no ingredients of darkness as it's a mere absence of light but light has it's own ingredients[constituents].

Mercury 2010 is right about there being *some* matter in space (mostly hydrogen and helium), but for the most part, space is pretty much deviod of matter. I certainly would not consider it emptiness. General Relativity (by good old Einstein) tells us that space is similar to a "fabric," especially when you put something with mass *on* (or a better explaination would be *in*) it. Space isn't true emptiness, it's more like "the medium of the universe." All the laws of physics still work in space, so it does adhere to what we know about the universe in locations that aren't "nothingness." We can travel through it, so it must be *smoething.* We can use a coordinate system to tell us where in space we are, of course, we are limited to only knowing where we are in the observable universe, and our coordinate system is based on relative points in space. I'm certain better models than GR will come along to give us a better understanding of what exactly space is, but for now, the fabric metaphor is the best we have. What we mean by an expanding universe is, that, the space between distance galaxies is expanding. The planets and stars (and even the nearby galaxies) themselves aren't "spreding out" within local areas, for the gravity that binds them (locally) is strong enough to overcome the expansion of the universe. Oddly enough, because the space between any two spaces (where gravity does not overcome the expansion) is continuously growing in space, no matter where you are in the universe, everything will appear to be moving away from you. So, technically, everyone is at the center of the universe, from their refrence point! Grasping true "nothingness" might be really tough to do. It would be difficult to measure, exist in, or... well, anything. It would likely have to exist *somewhere* where the laws of physics deteriorate (something composed of matter would not "bend" the fabric), and so, nothingness couldn't really exist in our universe. The "edge of the universe" question is tough to explain. Thd most common analogy is, the universe is like the surface of an inflating balloon. If you are on that surface, how far away is "the edge?" Or even, is there one?

A very good question indeed!
First of all NOTHING is absolute. Even the speed of light varies with different mediums. The so called 'constant's are merely extrapolations in a theorem, and foisted experimentally. Hence darkness may not be absolute darkness (some other measurements might show 'some' light (in hitherto unexplored electro magnetic spectrum).
Secondly, to borrow an analogy from electronics, 'hole's were later found to exist (protons), proving the void was not indeed a void.
Thirdly, we must not forget that '0' too is a number (a very important one: computers depend on binary/ Boolean logic).
Lastly and honestly, I do not know the answer to your question!

It is how you see the space and the observation of the darkness and brightness and how you perceive nothingness. Those things will be the Xs and Ys of this question..kr

When light wave (or light particle - remember light is both wave and particle) is reflected and "enters" our eyes, we "see brightness". Darkness, on the other hand, is the absence of such reflection entering our eyes.
The next paragraph is irrelevant to the question but is added as info...
Light or "white" light consists of different wavelengths where each range of wavelength translates into color. When light hits an object, some or sometimes all of these wavelengths are absorb and the wavelengths that escaped and reach the eye determines its color.

When I contemplate nothingness, I get "white" and "grey" noise in my head. Makes me feel like the universe is aware and it's just a baby and we're the tool for understanding.
