Physicists spend a lot of time arguing about nothing and still do not understand it fully.
It strikes me as a physical and psychological conundrum. In a state of absolute nothingness, there'd be no way to measure it and it would, as a result, be undetectable to us. We cannot establish the existence of anything unless we have a way to measure it. Nothingness would be void of everything, including anything we could detect and measure. We might postulate its existence, but we could never physically experience it.
