A lot of metaphysics is concerned with the question of 'why is there something rather than nothing?' This question seems kinda silly to me. Of course there's something — what else would there be?
It is difficult for me to imagine there being nothing. I can't imagine what it would even mean for there to be nothing. I can imagine a container with nothing inside it (say, the empty set), but I can only imagine this container within the multiverse that has everything in it (the world we live in, other worlds, counterfactuals, mathematical objects, etc).
I am more concerned with the metaphysical question 'why are there only some things rather than everything?' i.e. 'why are there things that don't exist?'
