Obviously it exists as a concept, but not independent of human experience.
Read Sartre.
Also, not science or math.

In the sense concepts exist. Doesn’t mean those concepts are reflected in the real world

No. We prove this by cases.

Case 1: No thing exists. Then, a fortiori, the concept of nothing does not exist.

Case 2: Some thing exists, call it T. This T, now having a name pointing to it, necessarily exists. That is, there is no concept of T's nonexistence. In particular there is no concept of nothing.

Well I can't ask "does nothing exist" now can I? That question makes absolutely no sense, from a linguistic standpoint.

Obviously. What it describes, however, doesn't by definition.
The concept of a flying unicorn with a 12 inch dick exists, but the object it describes doesn't.

>>10929604
On one hand the CONCEPT of nothing exist, but the STATE of nothing is a delusion. On the other hand, the idea of "existence" is based upon flawed premise, so not even the CONCEPT have a solid foundation of existence, let alone the actual existence of nothing.

>Nothing doesn't exist
This means that there is nothing which doesn't exist, or that everything exists.

>Everything exists
Ok, but surely there must be something which doesn't exist, such as unicorns.

>Something doesn't exist
This can't be, since nothing doesn't exist.

Obviously the concept exists, in the sense that we can imagine it to some extent.

Actual existence makes no sense whatsoever, since nothing means a lack of everything.
