The problem is that practically any way you try to think about Nothing you are most likely mistaken(In fact the very act of attempting to think ABOUT NOTHING is a mistake since that would be thinking about something). Nothingness is not something that humans have any sort of valid frame of reference for since the entireity of our lives are spent in the presence of Something.-How can nothing "resist" the expansion of the universe? How can the universe expand INTO nothingness? Even with the arguements going back and forth between you two very enlightened individuals we can see the complete and utter misconception of Nothing. Nothing is not a void. By definition, a void is the space between somethings. That is space, not Nothing. Nothing is nothing is no thing.
