Which therefore MEANS there IS EXISTING a 'distance', or a 'space' between and around 'matter', at the smallest of perspectives or levels, and at the largest of perspectives or levels, for example, there is a distance or space between 'quarks' and 'leptons', as well as between and around 'stars' and 'galaxies'.
Now, this space, or distance, can be said or can be called an area of 'nothing', however, and obviously,
'this area of nothing' is ALSO A 'something'. It is JUST an area of apparent 'nothing' or 'no thing', which is in CONTRAST of an area of 'obvious matter'. But, and OBVIOUSLY, BOTH HAVE TO EXIST, or CO-EXIST WITH 'each other', FOR the Universe to BE 'the way' that It IS.
And, BECAUSE the Universe IS IN 'this way' HERE-NOW, then the Universe HAS TO BE IN 'this way' ALWAYS, or ETERNALLY.
Which, like WITH ALL of what I SAY and CLAIM, here, CAN BE and WILL BE PROVED, IRREFUTABLY, True, that is; IF absolutely ANY one IS Truly INTERESTED IN HAVING A FULLY OPEN and Honest DISCUSSION, here.
Something, some thing is a thing. A thing is not no thing. Your contention is a contradiction.
ONCE MORE, I WILL SUGGEST that you SEEK OUT and OBTAIN ACTUAL CLARIFICATION BEFORE you START MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, and CONCLUDING and BELIEVING things. That way you WILL NOT BE SO Wrong, AS OFTEN as you CLEARLY ARE BEING, here.
Now, 'what' CONTENTION are you EVEN REFERRING TO, here, EXACTLY?

As stated in July of 2023 “area of nothing” is an oxymoron:
LOL 'As stated'.
LOL Are you, SERIOUSLY, 'TRYING TO' MAKE OUT that just because you have STATED some thing, then 'that thing' IS ABSOLUTELY True, Right, Accurate, and/or Correct?
Oh, and by the way, IF AN 'area of nothing' is an OXYMORON and MEANING that AN 'area of nothing' DOES NOT and COULD NOT EXIST, then what 'this' then MEANS IS that the WHOLE Universe is AN 'area of something', and that WHOLE AREA would HAVE TO BE MADE UP OF ONE 'thing' ONLY.
Which 'we' would NEED TO 'DELVE INTO' and 'LOOK INTO' FURTHER, FOR you TO BE ABLE TO 'SEE' the ACTUAL FULL CLAIM that you are 'TRYING TO' MAKE, here.
AGAIN, I SUGGEST that you SEEK OUT and OBTAIN and GAIN CLARIFICATION of what I ACTUALLY MEAN in what I ACTUALLY SAY and WRITE, here. AND, DO 'this' BEFORE you DO ANYTHING ELSE, here.
Now, AGAIN, if what you are SAYING and CLAIMING, here, WAS TRUE, then the WHOLE AREA, or the WHOLE EXPANSE, OF THE UNIVERSE IS OF SOME 'thing', and NOT 'NO thing'. Which, AGAIN, MEANS that the WHOLE EXPANSE and WHOLE AREA OF THE UNIVERSE IS OF ONE 'thing' ONLY, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACTUAL 'space' ANYWHERE.
And, if you WANT TO SAY or CLAIM that this is NOT RIGHT, then BE PREPARED TO BE QUESTIONED and CHALLENGED OVER WHAT you SAY and/or CLAIM.
AGAIN, I WILL SUGGEST that you HAVE ALL that you NEED TO back up and support what you SAY and CLAIM, here.

The area may be considered empty (as in free of matter) however it would
not be nothingness.
YES, 'we' CAN CONSIDER the areas of NO 'matter' AT ALL 'empty'. And, what are 'those areas' EMPTY OF, EXACTLY?
And, if 'those areas' are EMPTY OF 'matter', which IS OBVIOUSLY 'some thing', then 'those areas' may be considered 'free of matter', or 'free of some thing', which OBVIOUSLY correlates TO 'areas of NO thing'. Or, what some may consider 'areas of A nothingness'.
Now, what WAS SO HARD and SO COMPLEX, FOR you, to JUST CONSIDER that what you CALL 'some thing' ANOTHER might well just be CALLING the EXACT SAME 'thing' by ANOTHER NAME or SOME thing ELSE?
And, OBVIOUSLY, if you DO NOT SEEK OUT and OBTAIN and GAIN CLARIFICATION FROM another, then you, like the rest of you posters, here, WILL JUST KEEP 'SEEING' and BELIEVING that there WAS 'CONTENTION' or 'OPPOSITION' WHEN there may well have been NONE AT ALL.

The contrast of matter, of materiality is immateriality. Not nothingness.
Maybe so. But, this contrast MIGHT exist IN CONCEPT, ONLY. AS you are YET TO KNOW, FOR SURE, that what you CALL and LABEL 'immateriality' is ACTUALLY FREE OF 'material' AT ALL.
Also, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET that what you CALL and LABEL AN 'area of immateriality' OTHERS MIGHT JUST BE CALLING and LABELING AS AN 'area of NO things' or AN 'area of nothingness'. Which, OBVIOUSLY, BOTH OF you are talking ABOUT the EXACT SAME 'thing', ITSELF. BUT, JUST WITH DIFFERENT WORDS and LABELS.
NOW, and by the way, what you HAVE DONE, here, and ARE DOING, here, is JUST REINFORCING and PROVING my CLAIMS, here, FURTHER TRUE, RIGHT, ACCURATE, and CORRECT.
See, if you want to SAY and CLAIM that there ARE 'areas of immateriality' AND 'areas of material', then GREAT. Like ALL ALONG, here, this HAS BEEN WORKING PERFECTLY, FOR me.
