Why there is something rather than nothing...
#27
RE: Why there is something rather than nothing...
There is something rather than nothing because it is impossible for the alternative to be the case: It's impossible for there to be nothing. Nonexistence cannot exist.

There is something rather than nothing because the only alternative is logically impossible, logically incoherent and simply makes no sense. "Why is there something rather than nothing?" Is like asking "Why aren't bachelors ever married?", "Why aren't squares round?" or "Why doesn't 2+2=5?".

The real question is why isn't the totality of the existence of all things a void of emptiness teeming with quantum activity like it was before "the universe" (or multiverse) expanded from it?
