Is There a Neutral Expansion?
Buddhism only refers to reality as emptiness or void. In relation to things, objects, it is not a thing. At a higher level of understanding, we realize ultimately there are no things. Things are just how the activity of consciousness appears from a localised perspective.

It is legitimate to say reality is empty or void, but it is not really empty or void.
