There never is nothing

[CreatedEvolution]

If you google is there ever truly nothing you'd be surprised. It says there never truly is nothing. This was new to me 5 years ago in chemistry. Any thought provoking statements would be appreciated because it's still new to me in a way what discoveries come along with this?

This post was supposed to be a screen shot but did not work.

"NOTHING" My definition may be different from yours and different from others. Google's response is a non-human, logic-based summation of available data, including Wikipedia, NASA, Redbook, Playboy, and the Goat Farmer's Annual. There is no incentive to pursue such a conversation, when it starts with undefined terms, no parameters, and no environment in which to place it for consideration.
It will be definition-based, yes? Then why not offer a starting definition, various reactions to that definition, and go from there.
For me, "nothing" is a word that when I use it, I never stop to consider if anyone will misunderstand it. The absence of things; no, sometimes the absence of results,no, sometimes it's just a mental notation, "what did you bring?" "Nothing." Does anyone not understand that usage?
At best, all you're going to end up with is "nothing" means something that is not present; I don't think you'll narrow it down much further without precise parameters.

I've nothing else to say.

Now you understood that last sentence? If so, definition solved. "nothing" is whatever came to mind when you read that sentence. Interesting.

This lack of nothing makes me want to obtain hydrogen from solar winds while in orbit, in an orbit farm. combine o2 from plants and you may get water droplets in a high pressure chamber. To feed the plants co2 can come from burning Chinese compressed carbon pods they slow burn a long time.

It might be possible to construct a container with nothing in it. If we could evacuate all matter.

If we made a perfect vacuum, we would still have EM fields in that vacuum.

They have several new materials/films now that can block all EM fields and radiation, so they say. Not much has hit the market yet, but if they prove faithful, it will change a lot of EE designs and even principles. Some of these films can be switched and even modulated. A new form of modulation.

AND, clear/shield an area of EM fields.

Letting us measure a zero state of confined space.

Such an area might be possible in the future.

EDIT: And as a further supposition, clearing an area of all EM fields, might allow matter to be vacated more easily. And a perfect vacuum possible.

Yes theoretically to me speaking from a chemistry point of view. There would at least be one atom or subatomic particle moving rapidly to keep the vacuum from hitting a perfect vacuum and collapsing in on itself.

Yes, you are right, in our universe there is no such thing as nothing. The empty space between stars and galaxies is full of virtual and real particles, matter is similar but more complicated and much denser of course! In addition the universe is full of em radiation from gamma and X rays through visible to radio waves, and none of that is nothing.

English allows such evident accuracy, but still contradictory statements.

promytius has it exactly correct.

Full

containing or holding as much or as many as possible;

not lacking or omitting anything; complete.

BUT, full OF

The phrase "full of" is used to indicate that something contains a large amount or a high degree of something else. It can describe a physical object holding a lot of something, or it can describe someone exhibiting a lot of a particular feeling or quality. It can also be used in idioms and with various meanings depending on the context.

A certain colloquialism comes to mind, which I will not repeat here
