No, the problem lies with any attempt to conceive of “nothing”. Nothing, as a concept, isn’t nothing; it’s a concept, which a thing that exists. Literally the moment you attempt to use descriptive language and visualization to generate an idea of “nothing”, you are no longer talking about nothing. You are describing something. Logically speaking, ‘nothing’ is not possible.
I have already conceded that there is a possible world where there is nothing except abstract objections--which includes the concept of existence. We can certainly conceive of a world where there are no concrete objects. If you don't think so, show the logic--that's the whole point of possible worlds semantics.
