What about nothing? Is nothing a thing that exists? Or is it simply the lack of existence? (Probably the latter)

Quantum physics tells us that nothing is actually chock full of little somethings

Well, kinda. Nothing can, under certain conditions, become more of a gradient of nothing. Some spots are more nothing than others. And, if i understand correctly, you can tune your measurement scale in order to measure an area of nothing and find nothing.

I wanted to be sure so i asked Nothing, and they were very certain: Butt, Death, and Taxes.
