Can something come from nothing

[robvalue]

I see no reason why not, logically at least. Matter could have joined in at whatever point, somehow. Maybe it got shifted in from a parallel reality or something.

As we already discussed, our reality might have been "started" at any point on our timeline, and the history just invented to be consistent.

Personally, I get the feeling that we're just not "looking" at things in the right way, because of the highly subjective viewpoint we're trapped in. I can imagine things suddenly making more sense when viewed from the outside. However, we may never be able to escape enough to achieve that. Just a hunch

I once had this hypothesis that our reality is having an n-sphere pass through it. The "singularity" represents when the tip of the sphere first touches our 3D space. It then "expands" as the sphere passes through.

(By the way, I'm a mathematician and the idea that I don't understand the Aquaman arguments due to a lack of set theory is silly. The ordering and such is not the problem. It's the base logic being used in the argument. It's broken as fuck. And that's without even worrying about the fact that it's all just an abstract system trying to model reality without using any evidence at all to demonstrate its accuracy. It fails even at an abstract level.  Even if the arguments "worked", it's still just prescribing reality as if it's an abstract system. You don't get to do that.)
