There is a philosophical conundrum when it comes to the concept of nothing, especially in the English language because a noun is a person, place, or thing. Anything which has a name is a noun, and in the English language "nothing" is a noun. And we know that nouns exist because they are something. Now some might say that this is a mistake in our language, but actually I don't think it is. And I'd like to explain why.
First I'd like to ask you; where is nothing? Well, nothing is where something or everything isn't. But since nothing is a noun, and it is a thing, and it is a name for thing, albeit something that doesn't exist. It exists nevertheless in your mind and nothing is a concept. A concept is a thing, and this might be a circular argument for most people however, I would recommend that you read the book; "Our Undiscovered Universe - Introducing Null Physics - The Science of Uniform and Unconditional Reality" by Terence Witt.
Why you ask, well because he shows why nothing has to exist, it has to be everywhere, and why it's always been, and always will be. And without nothing we wouldn't have anything, or everything for that matter (pun intended). He shows this scientifically and mathematically, and the book although not cheap, and quite a few pages, it does take you through the entire process of these thoughts.
Nothing Can't Exist - Without Nothing Being Something
In fact, if you think about it, nothing cannot possibly be part of the reality without nothing actually being something. Thus, this concept makes us wonder if there can be nothing anywhere, or maybe nothing is everywhere, that is to say everywhere in between. You know, there is a lot of space between each particle of matter, compared to its size. All that space in between could be said to be nothing, and so, one could also say that nothing is absolutely everywhere, all the time, without fail.
It is almost inconceivable for humans to grasp the concept of nothing, although they try. However maybe this terminology is actually incorrect, after all; nothing = no thing. However, if nothing is something, then no-thing is something too, as they are equal. Perhaps you have pondered the possibility on the philosophy of nothing the prior.
If you'd like to continue those discussions with yourself, send me an e-mail on what you came up with, I would be glad to discuss it with you. I'd also suggest that you read the book which I recommend above, and then please consider all this.
