Question for a Physicist
#16
RE: Question for a Physicist
(October 5, 2016 at 4:51 am)chimp3 Wrote: I watched a discussion forum in which Lawrence Krauss gave an example of "something from nothing". He said that when an electron emits a photon something is created from nothing because the electron is not diminished in any way. So, for us non-scientists, is this a good reply to use when arguing with those theists that say something can not come from nothing? Does this reply reveal a basic principle of nature that extends to a more universal application in debate?

Didn't the electron absorb energy to then throw it off as a photon?

Consider me a satellite forever orbiting,
I knew the rules but the rules did not know me, guaranteed." - Eddie Vedder
