According to quantum field theory particles are just fluctuations in fields that permeate all of space, so sure.
Maybe the concept of nothing does not exist. Maybe the fabric of Spacetime is always there.

Time to rinse off and get out of the shower.

You can’t have a space with dimensions if it doesn’t exist in spacetime, so the commonplace understanding of nothingness is a space within spacetime that has nothing that we can interact with that’s interesting to us. People will say that there is nothing in the desert, but there is lots of stuff there. People will say there is nothing in a room, but there is still air. People will say there is nothing in space but there are still diffuse atoms, gravity, radiation and virtual particles. If your definition of nothingness is that there is a space with dimensions and time that has absolutely nothing in, then yes that does not exist.

If something isn’t there, it must be there because we know it isn’t there. By knowing it doesn’t exist we bring it into existence by thinking about it. But when we forget it actually ceases to exist.

Our brains exist in reality and the brain generates our thoughts, therefore can it not be said that thoughts exist in our reality, so to think of something that doesn’t exist, will bring it into existence. What do you think fiction is? It doesn’t exist, but when we write about it and think it up, it now exists. Imagine how many gods we forgot as time marches into the nonexistence we talk about. To bad they only existed when we need them.

The only concept that doesn’t exist is Trump’s “concept of an economical plan”.

True, but irrelevant for this community. Let’s keep politics in other places.

Historically, “nothing” is the label we apply when none of the things we are currently able to detect are present.
After we can detect what actually is there, we update our description to the much more accurate term “practically nothing”.

Nothing doesn’t exist, by definition.
The concept definitely does.
