My position is very different from that of many, I contend that the situation where nothing exists is impossible, but for a different reason. Perhaps a combinatorial theory of possibility which limits possible worlds to those constructed from given elements (actual individuals, properties and relations). Clearly the empty world is not so constructed, because it has no structure at all. Hence there is no empty world, and the proposition that something exists is a necessary truth. Having said that....what really happened to the cat?
