Edge, I don't think Krauss will understand what you're saying here. He is hung up on matter. He will refuse to accept anything that can't be seen by a scientific instrument. But he fails to understand or refuse to believe that matter is made up of Nothing.

Nisargadatta is asked: Q: The Absolute or Life you talk about, is it real, or a mere theory to cover up our ignorance? M: Both. To the mind, a theory; in itself -- a reality. It is reality in its spontaneous and total rejection of the false. Just as light destroys darkness by its very presence, so does the absolute destroy imagination. To see that all knowledge is a form of ignorance is itself a movement of reality. The witness is not a person. The person comes into being when there is a basis for it, an organism, a body. In it the absolute is reflected as awareness. Pure awareness becomes self-awareness. When there is a self, self-awareness is the witness. When there is no self to witness, there is no witnessing either. It is all very simple; it is the presence of the person that complicates. See that there is no such thing as a permanently separate person and all becomes clear. Awareness -- mind -- matter -- they are one reality in its two aspects as immovable and movable, and the three attributes of inertia, energy and harmony.
