Nothing can exist?
Before I was born there was nothing to be perceived and the same after death. My perceptions only include this present moment and my memories are mere recollections in the present moment. So once I'm dead it all ends but then was it in the first instance? Surely nothing can exist and the proof is coming for you soon?
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Nothing is unstable. It spontaneously converts itself into something. Specifically, pairs of somethings and anti-somethings. Somewhere, in some hidden corner of the omniverse, deliriously babbling with optimism, there is an anti-Scrumple! 
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Nothing cannot exist.
There is always the very structure of space-time, as well as that slightly annoying sea of virtual particles popping in or out of existence...
