It's nonsensical to say that nothing would exist.

Further, as there's no such thing as nothing in our universe, of course there's no evidence regarding it - we can't study nothing. It's a philosophical issue.
Quote:According to Quantum Theory nothing (nothingness to be clear) is unstable. It's fully possible that true nothing cannot exist.
To my knowledge quantum theory addresses vacuums, which aren't nothingness. Nothing can't be unstable, as instability is a property or attribute, and something that has a property or attribute is, well, something.
