So "quantum" is the magic in the empty space?  I thought there was no space or time before inflation? What is the measure of nothing?

"Nothing" cannot exist; it is a non-sequitur.  It's like asking, "What color is Saturday?"  Eternal cosmologies are one possible answer to the question of ultimate origins.  Yes, science may never know for sure; the problem may be simply unknowable.
