Well the word "non-existence" exists.
The concept exists.
How could one possibly give an example of something that does not exist!

Seriously, folks....
Just because you imagine that you can fly simply by flapping your arms does not bring that capacity into existance. To imagine anything, whether it exists or not, does not create it, but instead only creates a concept or mental image of it in your mind, not the object itself. Many things have been brought into existance that started out as a concept though.
Non-existance applies to any object that does not physically exist, of which there are many - leprechauns, egg-sized electrons, dinosaurs, unicorns, and ships that can travel from a runway to the moon and back without jettisoning a portion of their anatomy, for example. Therefore non-existance does exist. If you draw the 4-dimensional distinction that existance includes not just existance in the present but existance at any time in the past or future, remove such things from the list as dinosaurs and possibly the ship previously mentioned.
Semantics counts.

If non-existence did not exist, then everything that could possibly exist would be in existence, which is plainly not the case.
I would say that non-existence definitely exists, but then everything I say is a lie.

It exists as zero.
When an incident occurs runs its course an goes out of existence,it enters a state of eternal non-existence.

No.
Everything exists.
To prove that something did not exist, you would have to first think about it, but the fact that you thought about it made the thing exist in your mind.
In this way, God or other higher beings are very real...in the minds of those who believe in those beings.

Oh yeah, non-existence exists. People talk about god all of the time and he doesn't exist.

you're purely twisting the words around to make an extremely common question...whether that's even a question, perplexing. purely because of the fact there is not any different suited synonyms for the understanding "exist" interior the English language consequently, does not make the question any further complicated. you're asking if the understanding exists, not the surely thinking the state of being of a few thing. How approximately putting it this variety and doubtless you does not be so perplexed..."is non-existence obtainable?"

Nonexistence is a concept. It exists in the minds of people, in the same way that a nonexistent thing exists if someone imagines it.

Non existance exists only as a word to express the absense of existance.
The same thing as nothing. Nothing is the absense of anything.
But it is just the words we use to explain it.

Technically no it doesn't exist. What does exist is the absence of existing.
