Even as a child I knew that something wasn't ever nothing lol.

It's not clear that virtual particles which exist on the edge of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle are indeed something as most ontologies consider the concept of substance.  They seem to be neither substance nor nothing, making your lumping them into one or the other category more a rhetorical flourish than anything.

And what is "neither something nor nothing" supposed to even mean exactly?
