Hi Guille;
The answer to your question depends on how you view "something" as opposed to "nothing". If you view an absolute void as something, then there is existence without the physical presence of fundamental matter.
All the other phenomena you mentioned, require the presence of a physical entity with real physical properties. (motion and bonding) Energy, force particles (photons, bosons, gravitons, gluons etc) spacetime, gravity, and so on, all require the motion and interactions of matter to form their existence.

Quantization is an interesting phenomena and basic to the functioning of matter in the structured micro world. Structured matter is dependent on the wave symmetry of matter. To produce a change of state of an atomic or subatomic particle, it is required that the entire structure alter it's wave function symmetry within a finite time increment. (Planck time) Thus only when an event can change the quantity of wave function motion of a quantum unit of matter, can there be a change of the structure. Thus, Planck's constant. This also limits our ability to directly test and measure events that may occur within these structures. (Probability and uncertainty)

Don't be awed by the window dressing of science. It is a physical universe and nature is not mysterious, only tricky.
