Is the Null Element possible?
I am not necessarily an expert in any one subject of science but I am familiar with many things in the world of science. One thing that has caught my attention is the possibly of the Null element, not the math definition of Null as in a "Null set" or the scientific definition of Null as in the Null hypothesis, I am talking about the real Null element, the idea of an element that fills the absence of matter, discovered by ancient alchemists and astronomers. The Greeks called it Aether, the Hindus called it Aakash, some just called it space. Mathematicians discovered that numbers are nothing without a zero value. The same goes for matter, but I don't know what the zero value of matter is nor do most people.
I have tried researching this idea but have come up with almost nothing that I didn't already know, so if you have anything interesting that you know about this idea please share it.

The hypothetical concept of element number zero is more commonly referred to as neutronium. However, the alleged neutronium of neutron stars are neutron-degenerate matter not really the hypothetical neutronium though many people make up references such as saying the electron gets squeezed into the proton to form neutronium when it's obvious the collapse would just eject the electron. The mononeutron has been observed with a half life of 15 minutes. Dineutron was believed to have been observed from the decay of beryllium-16 in 2012. Others have been hypothesized but not observed.
As to the actual absence of matter, well now you're getting into the hypothetical negative matter concepts.

I've been researching this myself for years now. I kept researching by attempting to research similar things and seeing any ties, which brought me into contact with a number of interesting ideas, mostly focusing on the scientific aspects of the Null element. If there's any possibility of a collaborative work, that would be fantastic.

Negative and positive energy that add up to zero or a zero state of a quantum fluctuation where nothing isn't nothing.
