Can that be what is experienced when we “black-out?” Now not everyone who blacks out experiences nothingness.

I used to think that as well. Nothing is always something. But maybe that's just in our existence. There's always an opposite so you can recognize something. Without dark how would you recognize light, without wet there would be no dry etc. So without nothing, or non-existence how would there be existence? Maybe non-existence or nothing is outside of the universe? But there's no way to imagine it because how can you imagine nothing?
