There are many definitions of existence:
"reality as opposed to appearance."
"reality as presented in experience."
"The totality of existent things."
"The state or fact of having being."
It goes on...
However does existence exist? Now that is truly mental masturbation at it's finest. Congradulations bkc, you've reached a new hieght of pretentiousness.
I digress.
Einstein did a lot of philosophizing on the subject of existence and by his definitions (which I agree with) is that all things are made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Thoughts, lamp shades, boogers, clouds, fire, etc... are all composed of energy vibrating at different frequencies.
All these frequencies, too, are existing within large energy waves which are "dimensions" or different states of existence, which can account for the concepts of Heaven, Hell, limbo, etc... in human society. A person may have an out of body experience where his existence lapses and he enters a different state of existence, a different energy wave, and whether their experience is good or bad or whatever they may describe it as Heaven or Hell or something entirely different.
Anyways, by that definition existence is whatever is being. Which could be anything, in any way.
It's a difficult concept to grasp, but I don't think it's beyond average thinking.
