God's will.....who needs it?

I have no idea Rhizo...what's there? Is it empty space? I don't know much of the subject but I've heard the empty space in an atom is actually full of activity!

Empty space isn't necessarily nothing. If it was nothing then it wouldn't have activity - so if the empty space has activity then it's something and not nothing. But if it is nothing then it, indeed, isn't something and doesn't exist. Lol.

Nothing isn't something, it's nothing, therefore there is no 'thing' that exists that is nothing - there is no such thing as nothing (by definition lol).

Yes, thing and nothing are mutually exclusive. I wasn't necessarily saying that there was nothing between the proton and electron. What little I know of quantum mechanics leads me to believe that the electron would be in a probability space, known as an orbital, in a waveform. They theoretically exist in all places simultaneously (Superposition, and there is no gap at all between proton and electron) and only occupy one xyz position when viewed by an observer.

We are the observer, there is one time slice we are speaking of, and at that slice, the xyz locations of the proton and electron are known (The waveform colapsed, there is a gap between the proton and electron, and Schroedinger's cat died). That is the nothing which "exists" as a placeholder. Otherwise when the waveform broke down material would collapse.
