Who cares? What can be observed is not necessarily that which is.

It's also as futile as playing 'Guess what's on the other side of the hill' with the Duke of Wellington, (You may wish to study the 'reverse slope tactic' to understand this)

Nothing

I'm not seeing how that first bit is any different than the natural. How can any non-nothing exist beyond 'the natural world'?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
