Things don't exist until their existence is discovered?
Ok, so by "not a thing" you mean "abstraction", rather than something which does not physically exist.
Do we have different definitions of nothing?
You don’t seem to have a clear definition of what exists is
Something that doesn't interact with the universe doesn't exist. By definition.
Existing in a vacuum != existence in reality.
Nothing ever exists, it's all models to interpret reality. Your point?
You're conflating symbolic descriptions for the physical stuff itself.
You don't find a difference between things that exist and things that don't?
Because even the concept of nothing is something.
