Depends on how one is treating the word "nothing". If its to be taken to mean a literal nothingness, then in the first case this is somehow happening, and in the second case, instead of "nothingness", we have the wider universe itself.
I think that’s a sort of semantic that is less useful than it appears. If what is “nothing” can be represented by the complete canceling out of all wave functions. Each component wave function can be said to be there, but for the presence of all the others which exactly cancel it out. So where everything cancels out, is there something or nothing?
