   An empty void is indeed something, not nothing. It is a mathematical structure   
   with certain mathematical properties.   
      
   Nothing is absence of something. It has no identity. Every something has an   
   identity, which means that it is identical to itself and different from what   
   it is not - it is what it is and is not what is not. In other words, every   
   something is consistently    
   defined. A circle that is not a circle, is nothing.
