And what does greatness mean?

It means very large, powerful, or wonderful.  We use it when we see something that is bigger or more powerful than us, or that we really like a lot.

It's not a thing, and it does not exist.  It's a word to DESCRIBE things that do actually exist.  Putting "-ness" on an adjective doesn't make it exist.  It just changes it to a noun so you can talk about the concept that the adjective represents.
