How Did Our Universe Start From Nothing?

Nothing. What does it mean? We humans believe that something has had to exist, in order for something else to exist. So how did everything start? We say it started from nothing, but nothing can’t just turn into something, right?

To the question "who made nothing" I admit it's me. I'm always doing nothing.

[alfredproofrock]

After watching the whole thing, I am now more confident that I know "Nothing."

[wilwad]

Our brains do not possess the circuitry to comprehend "nothingness". We are doomed to understand only what our senses can perceive

[Good_at_clips]

Who knew I would actually be watching something about absolutely nothing literally?

[ernestoestrada]

I sit back with a glass of red wine and a cigar and act like I understand Quantum Physics :)

How about this, if Nothing is Something, and Something is part of Everything, then Everything is Nothing. Or if you were Everything, what would there be left to be? Nothing. But if you are everything then you would also be nothing. So the All is One with Everything & Nothing, but in this spiritual realm there is no Space nor Time. This is a fact, science cannot tell you about.

I used to think about this when I was a kid in bed and it disturbed me.

In the beginning, the universe was created. That made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded ever since as a bad move.

Nothing. and. Something are human concepts that our brains are hardwired to expect is the way thing are. The universe is under no obligation to act the way we want and expect it to

Why is it so hard for you to give God His Glory, God made everything including time.

Give praise to God all of you humans!

The Lord God is Awesome and wonderful powerful and frightening, I love God and admire his creation!

In a book I read when I was younger, the universe was characterized as breathing. The interval of breath was called a 'skanda'. This was a Buddhist or Hindu term, I think. Inhale into nothing, then exhale into everything.
I think consciousness is the key. Consciousness is what spans all these impossibly huge distances and scales. If I can perceive it, I can go to the outer edge of the universe, or inside a single atom.

[hjjjjk]

No matter what humans think they know or create we know nothing.

[stephen]

Hell yeah, all us old guys who were there know.

[blackfish]

Black holes give birth to singularities, the big bang was the expansion of and the possible creation of a singularity....i propose that the formation of every black hole could be the creation of another universe.

[suecondon]

Perhaps dark matter is the "nothing" that virtual particles emerge from. Intriguing video 🤔

[donnietobasco]

The thing that really hurts my head is when I try to imagine precisely "where" this nothing was before it became the something...LOL. I guess I can envisage a pitch-black, "matterless" space which to all intents and purposes LOOKS like nothing, and may not even be matterless, but is just something which lacks any illumination....a bit like the darkest depths of the ocean if you like. But the leap between something "looking like nothing" (to the human eye) and it actually BEING nothing....is....I bit that one struggles to process.

[pierredesroches]

nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.

Our knowledge is limited. When we theorize dark this and that it only means we don't understand the Universe. While our "leaders" spend our wealth on killing others we could be escaping this gravity well/spacetimepimple and solve those mysteries.

Firstly, if the universe came from "nothing" then it cannot have been caused as there was no "thing" to cause it. It would be an acausal event as there was nothing to cause it to exist. Thus looking for a reason is a pointless question if it came from nothing. For it to have a cause there HAS to be some "thing" to cause it, but that just shunts the question to that thing itself. Where did that "thing" come from that caused the Universe? And if we find an answer to that "thing" then the question just shunts to what caused the thing that caused the thing that caused the Universe and so on ad infinitum. You either have to accept there must be an acausal event at some point that was not preceded by any thing, or you have a never ending chain of causation which never has a final answer. There are no alternatives to this.

Secondly, if it was a random event that caused it then we can have no theory to explain it because you're asking for a set of mathematical equations that randomly spits out a universe. How would that work? How can you have an equation that comes out with a random solution when the mathematics is determinstic? Even if you could it would be a meaningless equation because it only comes out with random solutions. How would you decide which random solution is correct? It also implies that mathematics exists independently of existence itself. Where did that come from? We're back to my first point again.

Whichever way you want to slice it, the answer to existence is an unanswerable question. You don't even know the Universe existed before you thought you yourself did. "I think therefore I am" does not mean before you thought "I think" anything else was here. If the Universe is random it cannot rule out that it came into existence at the precice moment I considered I existed. It could all be inside "my head" if that even exists. It seems like I'm inside this body but am I? Does anything exist apart from this "thing" that I think is thinking?

The question quickly descends into a philosophical mess that doesn't get us any close to an answer.

To my mind the real absurdity is the concept of "nothing". It's a human concept and by definition it's meaningless.

Empty space is not "nothing, " it is "space." (spacetime).
