ANNOTATION:
Why is there something rather than nothing?
This question is not so simple as it is presented. All talk about
Universe starting up spontaneously from "fluctuations of vacuum"
or something of the sort is grossly incorrect, because if there
were nothing, then there would be no vacuum and no fluctuations
of vacuum altogether. Whatever proof you make about impossibility
of situation where nothing exists, the proof itself will not exist
if there is nothing.

Date: Sep 12, 2000REPLY: You misunderstand what Nothing is
Nothing is not nothing at all. The number Zero is not an integer it is an infinity. It inherently contains 1, -1, the whole of mathematics, the mandelbrot set, and our perceived 4 dimensional chunk of the 0mniversal configuration space. Nothing is in fact, Everything - all possible mathematical states, the pantheistic and mystic 'One'. We percieve a universe 'engineered' with certain physical constants because those are the mathematical parameters of our bit of the configuration space. Our minds, and all 'information' are the only things which are actually 'real', we only percieve reality as 4-dimensional because we are on the fourth level 'dimension shell' looking in at the third as we traverse the fourth. I would go further. I would say each of our own percieved versions of the universe may be merely a reflection of ourselves.
Q) What is infinity minus infinity? A) Infinity.
0mniverse.

Please. Your statement is full of contradictions. Therefore it amounts to nothing.

Date: May 19, 2003REPLY: Something is more likely than nothing.
I heard from a student of Finkelstein's that
existence, which may take the form in a great many
possible states, is simply more likely than nonexistence,
which has but a single state, nothingness.
