Wouldn't the opposite of Everything be Nothing?

I believe so, everything has an opposite.......Yin/Yang, cause effect, Sowing/Reaping, fear/love, up/down, visible/invisible, male/female, ...etc...also cyclical....

While I'll agree that not everything has an opposite, I'd have to say that there's quite a large number of things that do. A lot of things exist in duality. Black/white, heaven/hell, matter/antimatter, fire/water, earth/air. Even the seven deadly sins have their opposites. There's the color wheel, which is constructed from opposites. Day/night, dusk/dawn, sun/moon, silver/gold.
In general, opposites exist in the natural world, not really in the modern one.

If the opposite of everything is nothing, then nothing has an opposite.

Nothing is not the opposite of everything because they are both something.

So everything doesn't have an opposite then, and neither does nothing.

Do you mean every action has an equal but opposite reaction?
Newton's Third law of Motion
To every action (force applied) there is an equal but opposite reaction (equal force applied in the opposite direction).

Nothing is more the absence of everything, rather than the opposite of everything.
