It's obviously an open question whether the universe and dark energy (and everything else) came from nothing or something preexisting and possibly eternal; obvious to those who can think clearly. That's why I was surprised that Bruce would make such a claim, since he's about the clearest thinker on these matters that I've the good fortune to have met (online) -- just as it's obvious that the UP is a statistical statement, since uncertainty is a synonym for *standard deviation*, the definition of which can be easily found online or in any text on statistics. BTW, have you found the flaw in the "proof" I found online and posted, of the time-energy form of the UP?
