Liz,
A universe from nothing may sound absurd but a universe that has always existed and had no beginning is more absurd. I have shown that it is possible to construct everything in our Universe with an equal number of point particles with charges of plus and minus e. Add them all together and you can get a universe or you can get nothing. This is simply because: (–e) plus (+e) = 0 Alternatively: 1) (-2e) plus (+1e) = an electron 2) (+2e) plus (-1e) = a positron 3) (+1e) plus (-1e) = an entron, if both particles are traveling on opposite sides of a circle at πc/2. (Entrons provide all mass in our Universe not provided by electrons and positrons) 4) One neutrino entron, one electron and two positrons = a naked proton (with a natural velocity of 4.02 X 107 m/s). 5) A naked proton and 9.31 Mev of gamma ray entrons = a zero speed proton. 6) A zero speed proton plus an electron = a hydrogen atom. 7) Four hydrogen atoms combine to MAKE an alpha particle, two electrons and 37.24 MeV of gamma ray entrons. 8) The alpha particle collects some of the gamma ray entrons to slow down to form a helium nucleus. 9) Three alpha particles combine to make carbon-12 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over 10) Four alpha particles combine to make oxygen-16 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over. 11) Five alpha particles combine to make neon-20 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over. 12) Six alpha particles combine to make magnesium-24 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over. 13) Seven alpha particles combine to make silicon 28 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over. 14) Eight alpha particles combine to make sulfur 32 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over. 15) Nine alpha particles combine to make argon 36 nucleus with some gamma ray entrons left over. 16) Argon-40 nucleus is a combination of 10 alpha particles, 2 electrons and 8.38 MeV of gamma ray entorns. All atomic nuclei except possibly iron-56 and nickel-60 contain gamma ray entron of various energies. Uranium-236 is the combination of 59 alpha particles, 26 electrons and 297.15 MeV of gamma ray entrons. These nuclei and other similarly constructed nuclei collect electrons to become atoms, atoms collect to make molecules and molecules collect to make universes. THIS IS HOW UNIVERSES ARE MADE FROM NOTHING!

I can only repeat what I said before: 'My position is that the idea that you can explain the origin of "a universe from nothing" is absurd.' Either you have pre-existing laws and substrate -- which is not 'nothing' -- or the universe just "pops" spontaneously, and laws, etc, are just descriptions of observed regularities in whatever has "popped". You don't have many other options. The other popular option (in both religion and physics) is that the universe is eternal and no "popping" is needed. Some are eternal and infinite and others are eternal and cyclic. This is true, of course, and changes the question (slightly) - "Why does the eternal universe, and its laws of physics, exist?" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
