There was just a complete, total nothingness?

I have come across people who struggled to answer this question in the past and felt like proposing this strangely thought provoking idea here

Very well could have been but I think that's a mystery not likely discovered on this plain of existence ☺️

@Joshua19842022 well, let's think about it, that would mean you're a thing. I'm a thing. The universe is a thing. Quanta, fluctuations, energy, etc. all of these are things. They exist. How could could something come about from nothing?
