A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I mean we have lots of words for varying degrees and styles of "nothing".
A chasm is the empty space between two chunks of the earths crust.
A void is just an empty space well... Void of all things.
An interval is just the time between two events. Technically it's nothing.
Still a good shower thought. There aren't a ton of words dedicated to the same phenomenon, but we have a handful.
Also just
“Space” as a place to go
Good ol fashion space.
