is "nothing" really a possible afterlife

After speaking to many friends, and acquaintances who are Atheists I have learned that many of them believe there is simply "nothing" after you die. Now after a lot of thought, I have begun to strongly disagree with this idea. The reason why is because the same people that believe nothing is experienced after death also believe everything came from absolutely nothing. So, considering no time would pass inside of nothing, and if something (everything) CAN emerge from nothing then wouldn't it be the case that after death nothing would be experienced for no time at all and then something would emerge once again out of this nothing which would be considered our Afterlife. I am genuinely excited to hear some other points of view on this. Thank you.
