"Nothing" is an illusion
When we say "nothing" we mean that no thing exists to pique our monkey brains. Like the middle of the ocean is nothing. Or space is nothing. A lack of stimuli
In reality even the darkest, emptiest, most remote of black space still has potential fields, particles and antiparticles, various forms of energy etc.
Therefore at NO point in the universe can we say "nothing" exists. Most likely, everything that doesn't obviously exist in our own universe exists in some universe. Logically, everything exists. Every possible combination of physical states one could imagine, and an infinite number one couldn't. We happen to live in one where the conditions were right for us to have this conversation, by the grace of G-d or by random chance, as you prefer.

physicists do seem to agree that there was a beginning, and therefore, before the beginning, there was nothing, but it wasnt because there was no time. the statement doesnt make sense but idk if this is a limitation of language because language just describes environment. not space autism.

Yes it does. Someone who is blind doesn't know what color is thus it doesn't exist to them. Or are you saying that the universe itself is aware of what color is?

Yes, all physical existence stems from the sins of Yaltabaoth. Your consciousness is an eternal spark that has, and always will exist.
