The funny thing is that we always explain reality with words. The notion of zero was introduced by Arab mathematicians in Europe, suppressed or carefully removed by Medieval theology and it was only in the 16th century, or later with physics, that "nothing" as we commonly understand now became a philosophical concept. So most of what we perceive is about how we phrase it, and that may affect theoretical-physics too, because who can tell if your model is Reality or an askew observation by the limits of your question? You can say that's why physics must be proven experimentally. That's true. But has anyone ever proved that "nothing" exists?
This, of course, doesn't invalidates the fact that we die (that was the original matter of this post). But that has nothing to do with nothing or life being useless.
