It's true.

Nothing exists. We can't have anything existing while nothing not existing. Therefore, nothing exists.
 
Thank G_d!
I was beginning to think the Bruce Jenner debacle was real.

A painting says nothing about reality.
 
This thread is in dire need of philosophy 101.

If you saw a car heading for you on the street would jump out of the way or remain standing because nothing exists?
 
I was thinking of responding to this thread but then I realized it doesn't exist - doh!!

Some threads should never have been started or responded to.

But some people will never think to turn their brain on before they open their mouth.

Typing on a non-existing keyboard is an amazing feat.

Why not? Just because some things can exist doesn't mean everything must exist. I'd like anatomically accurate sex dolls of Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, but they're extremely unlikely to exist.

That is a very good idea. I'm sure they'd catch on.

Veni, vidi, velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.
 
atheists dont exist either
 
Since none of you exists please post your non existent credit card numbers in this non existent thread along with the non existent security code at the back so that I can process it with the non existent credit card terminal I have with me, thank you.
 
Bah!

After 3 weeks of this during undergrad PHIL 101, we finally got to: "I think, therefore I am"!

I was greatly relieved ...

"Nothing" exists. We can't have "anything" existing while "nothing" not existing. Therefore, "nothing" exists.

No, the car exists. Nothing exists too. These are two different things.

That's correct. However, nothing is not any object similar to the objects that do exist. Nothing is a state of being, a set, that does not contain any object that exists. That set must exist too. Otherwise everything would exist but you already demonstrated, even if not in a formal logic manner - not that it's needed - that not everything exists already.

Good comment.

It's against all probability that nothing exists. Space is filled with matter, with photons, with waves and radiation, dark matter, gravity etc. It's possible nothing exists outside the universe, but then there may not be an outside the universe. You could probably say the extent of the universe, given that we know it's expanding, is how far something has travelled from the point of the big bang.

Also, nothing is found in the space between a nucleus and its electrons, as far as I know. So nothing probably exists on a quantum level, but not on a macro level.
