Is nothing something?
Something is some thing.
Something is an unspecified or unknown thing.
Nothing is no thing.
Nothing is not any thing.
Nothing is nothing at all.
Nothing is the non-existence.
As a non-existence, nothing is never plural.
Nevertheless:
Nothing is 'something' that does not exist.
A nothing is 'something' of no interest, no value like a nix, a pipsqueak.
Looking up in my dictionary, I read that the antonym of something is nothing.
Would the antonym of nothing be a thing or something?
If so, how does it come that nothing is something?
Thanks in advance for throwing light on that puzzle.

Additional request to possible fellow-musician-GG-users.
Sing along "brrrrrain (D) tea (B 4.5 tone higher) ser (G 1 tone lower)?"
Mind rolling your r's as an opera singer and don't fail to sing the question mark.
