    Why do you assume that "nothing" ever existed?   
      
    When the Universe expanded it followed vectors.   
    Where did those lines of matter collection come from?   
    I really have no idea but if there were multiple   
    Universes maybe their intrustion of gravitic or other forces   
    created those vectors. But that is merest speculation.   
    I doubt though that "nothing" ever existed except   
    possibly in the unimaginably distant past. Even then   
    the forces outside our 3 or 4 dimensional space may   
    have been filled with something that in our space   
    could differentiate into positive and negative matter/energy   
    to provide the explosive situation for the Big Bang   
    assuming it happened as envisioned by competent   
    cosmologists.   
    Now the assumption is that there was a slight   
    amount of positive matter left over from the mutual   
    destruction but suppose there was also some negative   
    matter which survived but by the force of the   
    blast it went off in another dimension where it under   
    went the same sort of material evolution as we see   
    in the positive matter universe.   
    Suppose....
