nothing is a word that describes the absence of all things. so ya, i think nothing does exist.
ideas and objects are not on the same plane of existence, so when talking about nothing, in terms of things. The fact that the idea of nothing exists does not mean that nothing itself does not exist.

but nothing is nothing, thus it is something, so something can be lost in it, and that something is nothing

no such thing as nothing everything is matter even nothing is made of matter then. nothing is the absence of all things. so nothing cannot exist as a thing in the way that you mean. If nothing exists then it is outside of all matter. |

Nothing Therfore is somthing but sence the somthings name is nothing nothing exsits ^^ "Nothing" is just a word that describes the absence of all things. An absence of things is not a thing in itself. The fact that nothing has a name just proves that it is an idea. I don't know how many times i have to say it. Nothing can only exist as an idea. Absence is also not a thing, at least in the way that its being used here. Just like nothing it is a concept created for language purposes to describe an idea. |

Ok lets break this word down now
Not --- Thing
So its not a thing so it cannot be something, in which someTHING cannot be nothing and nothing cannot be something.

nothing= a word
a word = somthing
what nothing is = nothing
nothing is = the absence of somthing
absence of something = cannot be something

yes the word of nothing is a thing, but its definition is lack of a or all things existance in some way/place or another.
so the actual state of nothing still holds true to previous statement
