No they don't. Labeling something as "nothing" isn't wrestling with nothing. Laurence Krauss himself has been criticized for this both by other physics and philosophers. The science he does is all good and right, but if he thinks that he's found nothing he's very confused. Kraus is an example of someone who is a world class scientist but very poor philosopher.
The science behind the scientific model of atoms is all good and right too. But this does not mean that when scientists split the atom they split the unsplitable. And nor does finding "empty space teeming quantum activity" mean you've found nothing. No, what you've found, is the physical evidence of the empirical discovery of what seems to be empty space teeming with quantum activity. That very much is not nothing. There isn't anything that is nothing.
Give me one example of nothing that can be wrestled with. And I can guarantee you, you won't have given me anything to be wrestled with.
Why would I ask you when I could just google it, and see what the physicists you'd be paraphrasing said?
