Sorry, no. Empty space would be empty space, NOT nothing. Nothing does not nor has it ever exited anywhere other than as an intellectual concept that people can imagine.
Nothing is an ideal that says what exists can be removed to not exist.
For a human does not exist in any condition of nothing....we exist with everything.
Therefore when a human discusses nothing, they mean it, as a thought...to gain it.
Which implies destruction comes about and change comes about by the thought of nothing.
For as said for a thinking mind to say that it can shift mass in a want of human science, the mind first places a thought to own space, to a mind it is nothing.
Then within the nothing he would idealise the shifting of mass that would be a destruction action.
Human conscious awareness thought those thoughts whilst living inside of a gas massed body, that owned space, gas space. Mass as a gas plus radiation but an ability to move through the mass by the state of gas existence.
Which is a self bio owned status that does not belong to any other form of mass.
Radiation metal advised the seeking science mind that it came into the gas body from outside of it, so outside mass could invade the space of a gas....where his science ideas came from.
Consciousness therefore idealized space inside of a gas mass...which is not relative to space itself.
