Vacuum Balloon: Can We Fly Using Nothing As Fuel?

Flight has fascinated humanity for ages. We’re always looking for the perfect recipe to get airborne affordably and effectively.
A balloons lifting force is a function of how much air it displaces, so technically the less air inside the apparatus, the better.
Does it make sense that a vacuum of nothingness could create a perfect flight method here in our atmosphere? Is such a device, a vacuum balloon, attainable?

Absolutely, the lighter the better. As we understand science today, the lightest we can get would be to create a vacuum in the balloon. The problem is getting it to not collapse on itself!
