Does it make sense to say that "nothing exists"?

It seems like a very strange and absurd statement to make, yet it seems to have some logic to it. <br><br>So let me try to break it down.<br><br>First of all, "nothing" can mean anything, and everything. It is the opposite of something, and we can't really say anything about it because it has no inherent meaning. <br><br>Secondly, "exists" is a verb that implies being, or "is-ness." It means that something is happening, or that something exists. <br><br>So, if "nothing" can mean anything and everything, and "exists" means that something is happening or that something exists, then does it not make sense to say that "nothing exists"? <br><br>It seems to me like if nothing exists, then it doesn't exist, and therefore nothing exists, and if nothing exists, then it doesn't exist. It seems to be a paradox.<br><br>It seems like it is an absurd statement to make, but at the same time, it seems like it makes sense to say that "nothing exists." It seems like we are talking about nothingness, and nothing exists, and therefore nothing exists. <br><br>So I'm asking you guys, does it make sense to say that "nothing exists"
