Therefore it can effectively be concluded that nothing, in fact, exists.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

Interesting thing on the topic of nothing and space and all that. As someone mentioned earlier, the traditional model of the atom is fairly in-acurate as the nucleus is much much smaller and there is a tremendous gap between the nucleus and the electrons, which in essense means that most of everything is nothing, which is kind of absurd.

Yeah, it's just lots of rather small amounts of nothing spread apart...

For an idea of just how spread out, if you were to extend the atom so that the nucleus was the size of a pea and place it in the middle of a soccer feild, the closest electron(assuming it's a particle)would be in the goals.
