If nonexistence existed wouldn't that take away the meaning of nonexistence? I know there's always something in space, zero-point energy and such. But what about the things that don't exist like unicorns? Do they exist in nonexistence? Does nonexistence exist only as a concept?

Unicorns could be a biological reality in other planets :hint:

Uhm...The very question itself is in the form of irony. I don't even know if this can be labeled as Existentialism. Either way, I have no idea how to answer it, other than "we don't know that it exists until we find it".

You're not going to find the answer on a Naruto Forum.

Go ask a scientist and philosopher.

Do you expect any of us to be capable of answering a question like this? Like seriously, the question is a paradox within itself.

I was using the unicorn for the sake of the example.

they might not exist on the prime material plane but who's to say they do not exist on other planes?

When we reflect upon our own existence we come to the realisation, that at some point in time, we began to exist. Since we were once non-existent and are now in existence, it follows that we must have had a beginning.
Everything temporal began to exist, in other words the entire universe.

What this guy said is true, if I want to meet Unicorns I have to explore the plethora of planets out there in the Universe, I might eventually bump into one.

Yes it does. We are non existent beings existing in an existing, yet non existent, plane of reality. What we do not see or sense can still be sensed. For example, ghosts and the paranormal. We cannot see certain matter but we know it exists. All humans have a "blind spot". Just because we can't see it with our perception doesn't mean it isn't possible.
