Yes but ... T.S. Eliot had a lot to say about "nothingness" equating it as a state of spiritual or physical emptiness, disconnection, and despair. "I can connect nothing with nothing" he wrote in The Waste Land, keeping with the theme of disintegration and loss. In The Hollow Men, he wrote of a "hollow valley" of empty men and a world ending "not with a bang but a whimper," representing a spiritual and emotional emptiness. In On Margate Sands Eliot wrote: "I can connect nothing with nothing. The broken fingernails of dirty hands. My people humble people who expect nothing." In an essay he wrote: “If Hell is where nothing connects, then being in the field of English must be the key to heaven's door! We are in the business of finding connections--within texts, between texts and contexts, between texts and ourselves, between our readings and the readings of other interpreters.” Humility is the most difficult of all virtues to achieve; nothing dies harder than the desire to think well of oneself" His definition of hell is "a place where nothing connects with nothing."
So there - something can come from nothing. Cheer up!

Robert of course, instead of researching, editing and analysing can Ai that and get a much longer answer.
Remember that nothing lasts forever. What else lasts that long?
"Nothing lasts forever".
I liked the dual meaning in that.
Anyway, I'm off to the tip and will try not to bring 'good stuff' back with me. I'm under The Old Girl's orders.
DWYT! -
Do what you're told!
Exactly.
Why do we put up with this from women? ... Oh, that's right ...

Robert liked this comment.
"Maybe it's a prelude to a massive, detailed post, a digital moment of silence". Gemini
The human soul/spirit lasts forever.
