I always preferred Dr. Feynman’s approach to physics. Consolidate all your observations and distill them into the most concise, mathematically elegant set of statements you can that are both internally consistent and useful for making predictions or generalizations about the behavior of the system of interest. But leave philosophy to the philosophers.

“Nothing is unstable,” Frank Wilczek, a physicist and Nobel laureate from MIT, ...

That is a rather negative way of looking at it. You could say the same thing in a much more positive way by saying "Nothing is potentially anything."

Stated either way the idea is illogical and inaccurate as well as a poor use of language. Nothingness would be the correct term and if it has any meaning then "nothingness is nothingness."

FWIW nothingness does not exist.

“Zero-point energy. I always save the best stuff for myself.”

So before the big bang, life in the universe was like waiting for a table in a Chinese restaurant....

Interesting to think of nothing as what’s left when you take away everything else... and what’s still there are the laws of physics. Unless, I guess, there’s a way to remove them also. Then you’d have true nothing.
