Because nothing is, well, nothing. You still have 0.1% of something, so you do have something.
Also what's Democritus got to do with Buddhism? He was an ancient Greek pagan with a primitive atomic theory. You have the atoms and you have the void, which the atoms move into. For Democritus, you can't keep dividing matter forever because this causes problems (an infinite series) so eventually you must must reach a level where you cannot divide any further. These are the indestructible atoms.
