"if it were truly a void, there would even be an absence of the concept of a void. The mere thought of a void is the presence of something. Therefore, it isn't a void"

But not in our universe/our thoughts/our concept of spacetime etc. ,
our concept of a void means exactly that- a void. We created that word to describe an area of nothing (which could include time - i guess in this context).

So if it was truely a void( as you stated) we wouldn't have a word or description of it so I agree with you there, but if we cant have a word or concept of a void then wouldn't the concept of the pre BB or 'beyond' the boundry of our universe be null and void? (pardon the pun)

"There was never an absence of anything. The presence of a trigger for the BB, even if it was a random fluctuation of an abstract mathematical entity/quantum field, means there is something there."

I agree with you 100% ....so there are no "Voids" out there...sorry Alex
