What is nothingness filled with? Is it full of life and awareness?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Nothingness is filled with energy. This is again quantum physics.
They say, the empty space that you see around the Sun is not empty. In fact, the Sun is round because the energy surrounding it pushing it from all the four sides and making it round.
It is like a bubble in a water bottle. How is a bubble round? The pressure of the water keeps the bubble round. In the same way, the Sun is round because the energy around the Sun is one million times more than denser than the Sun’s. This energy is called dark energy or dark matter.
So the space around the Sun is all filled with energy.
