RE: How can nothing exist?
To summarize I would just say that "Nothing" is a context based concept that both exists and doesn't exist at the same time. A bit like quantum particles. 😉

RE: How can nothing exist?
Rather than follow one or more of the deviations above, I would like to return to the original posting:
"How can nothing exist"
This is a bit like 42 being the answer to the ultimate question, in that any response would be dependent on the meaning of the question.
"Nothing" is strictly a pronoun, ie, like 'She' or 'It'. It is a substitute for a noun.
It means "not anything" and as an abstract concept, defines within itself the answer to the question, ie, 'It cannot exist'.
The number zero...0.... has been formulated to mathematically represent the concept of "not anything", and is merely a convenience, a shorthand, for the mathematical result of a numerical quantity being subtracted from itself.
