Why is there something rather than nothing? (Humans)

All I was trying to point out is that 'Nothing' is only useful as defining the absence of something. Which is basically a state that can not exist. (Despite what quantum physicist flap their gums about, in order for there to be quantum fluctuations to create the universe from 'nothing', there has to be 'something' to fluctuate on the quantum level.)-Exactly the point I make. There can never be nothing within our universe. But to twist your point, our universe expands time and space into what? It is possible that our universe is expanding into a total void, a nothing, not in our universe or apparent to our senses. Nor can we ever test it, because space curves back on itself and we can never get to the edge of our universe. To allow the quantum fluctuation theory we must allow for an eternal space with quanta. Just as unprovable as my conjecture of a complete void.
