    Did we need to invent it, or did it just take that long to discover it? I mean “nothing” has always been around and there’s a lot we didn’t discover till much more recently that already existed.

      IMO we invented it, because numbers don’t real. But that’s a deeper philosophical question.

      Does “nothing” “exist” independent of caring what there is nothing of or in what span of time and space there is nothing of the thing?

      There’s always been “something” somewhere. Well, at least as far back as we can see.
