“Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam”

What is nothing? What would happen if scientists took a container and removed all the air out of it, creating an ideal vacuum that was entirely devoid of matter? The removal of matter would mean that energy would remain. Much in the same way that the energy from the Sun can cross to the Earth through empty space, heat from outside the container would radiate into the container. Thus, the container wouldn’t be truly empty. It turns out that nothing isn’t nothing.
