Absolute nothingness is still something.

I doubt it, the consensus of the majority of cosmologists is barely over the standard big bang model, what happened before the big bang, if something really happened, is largely debated.
For example, some believe the universe to be a tiny part of a bigger reality called multiverse. Alan Guth, Arvin Borde and Alexander Vilenkin, who produced a theorem which shows that the beginning of the universe at a finite time ago is largely more probable than not, are proponents of this theory.
Then you have others like Sean Carroll, who formulated a model in which there is a mirror universe in which time goes backwards.
Of course there are a bunch of arguments to support and to refute these and other theories, but they go far beyond my understanding
Aren't matter and energy the same thing tho?
Well like I said, no one knows for certain and there are multiple theories. But one consensus among the majority of the theories is that there was no such thing as "nothing."
Yeah, can't really disagree with that. Actually, given what the word "nothing" really entails, I really wonder if it could even be discoverable

I mean did the absolute nothigness really exist or is just abstract concept? The question "Why there is something rather than nothing?" Can be rephrased like that "Why there is not nothing rather than something?
I mean always is need to be something in the first place.
