Why Is There Something Instead of Nothing?



It's really simple, but not simple to always understand.

If "nothing" existed, then "something" would exist--namely, "nothing".

If "nothing" had no existence, by definition "existence" would have existence and anything that has "existence" absolutely exists. That would not be "nothing".

"Nothingness" cannot "exist". It also cannot not exist. If it did "not not exist", the double negative means something would exist, and it can't be "nothingness".
