One of the first things that I realized, from the outset, about forty years ago, was that there are no truly black holes, and, similarly, say, that space, nor time, just exists in the sense that we just move through either. They're still space, and time, but, rearranged (broken up) by factoring in matter, and motion. Were space, and time, purely continuous, or solid, however, then we wouldn't be able to enter, let alone move through, either, at all. It's the thus illogically perfect versions of such that make up the mind, not, the physical stuff. The mental is based on impossibility, but, the physical is based on possibility. Perfectly dense, or solid, matter may form only a type of point - with the perfect realm beyond us, anyway. Were perfect matter extended, then it would keep going, to prevent anything passing through space; and, were space as the same type of point, then there would be no way to extend it beyond. Nothing, itself, in pure form, can't move out of, beyond nothingness, but, it may have thus impetus, or usefulness, by starting all the way out, thus defined.

Mix the mental with the physical to form the quantum, as mental-physical (on the mental side), versus, the relative, as physical-mental (on the physical side). Nothing is just "a real physical thing or just a mathematical tool".

And, gravity starts out as quantum-relative, by which charge is thus combined while gravity, in likewise fashion, thus comes apart. Where all of these things go together/come apart to allow for universes to form other universes.
