Write please an essay about the concept of nothingness.

Nothingness should be no more than the absence of anything, but it seems to be so much more to us. When a room is emptied of air, it gains a vacuum. When someone has no money left, they become bankrupt. The vast emptiness between two solar systems isn't "nothing", it's deep space. While an AI designed to identify objects might look into a pitch black room and conclude there is nothing here, a human will imagine all the things that could be here.

While true nothingness could only be achieved from a complete lack of any properties, it seems to be unattainable due to our desire to understand. Due to the nature of language, any state of absence one could describe as "nothing" can simply receive a new label. At this point, it is no longer "nothing", it has now become that label.

Vacuum. Darkness. Absolute Zero. Inert. Peace. All of these words describe a lack of something, but to say they are "nothing", would be incorrect. Given that nothingness could be defined as a lack of existence, it doesn't seem so far-fetched to assume that the concept is so incompatible with anything that exists.
