Space is already something, presumably something which did not exist before the bang grande. Unless of course you allow for a multiverse, a concept which Krause and others despise since it is -at least currently- unobservable by science. But how really do you understand Krause's idea of "nothing" apart from a multiverse?
Krause's idea of nothing does seem at least to interact with quantum 'foam' (whatever to hell that's supposed to mean). I've heard that Krause claims that the nothing the universe is said to come from is/could be a true nothing by way of being a quantum void. (I can't find the quote however so he may not have said this at all.) But does this make any sense at all to talk of a void existing simultaneously with with the mysterious quantum foam? Apart from the where which space provides, how can there be a division between the foam and the void? Apart from time how can they exist simultaneously? Mind boggling.
I object to Krause using 'nothing' to describe something which contains within itself the conditions necessary to give rise to everything. Nothing isn't supposed to have anything in it let alone the seeds for everything. He does seem to reign in this misappropriation of the word somewhat in this recent radio talk:
