in english the right expression is "there is nothing" but in spanish it is "no hay nada" ("there ISN´T nothing")...If nothing is nothing it cannot be but there is NOT nothing means there is something...
So as regards nothingness which language is more absurd???

They're both illogical because both expresses an idea as so, while at the same time expressing it as not. 'Nothing' is a false idea.
A better term would be, "There isn't what there isn't" And, "There is what there is"
A term cannot be used to describe something when it's not anything. ;) Otherwise, that would mean it was something. Therefore, "There isn't what there isn't"

Nothingness is the absence of existence. So it is something only in it's being naught. If it was truly nothing in it's entirety, then there wouldn't even be a word for it. It would be more true, then, to say "There isn't a thing". By referring to it at all, one is giving it substance.

The two languages are different, and have differing modes of expression. In each language the expession works perfectly well.

i think nothing is being improperly used in your sentence.
it should be: There isn't anything.
nothing = no thing
isn't = is not
so therefor There isn't nothing = There is not no thing
