   Spacetime is a mathematical structure. And moreover, for particles to appear   
   in spacetime there must be laws of quantum mechanics, which are something too.   
   Without the laws of QM particles would not appear.

   Total nothingness seems to be a logically inconsistent state, even if it   
   didn't require someone who would imagine it. If there was totally nothing   
   (meaning there was not anything at all), there would be the fact that there   
   was totally nothing. But a fact    
   is something, a property of reality. So there cannot ever be totally nothing.
