Can something come from nothing

[vorlon13]

A negative particle and its positive equivalent will cancel out to nothing. ( with some possible energy release).
The reverse is also possible. Maybe the universe can borrow energy in advance to create itself from nothing.
Weirder things are possible, right, theists?

Known physics strongly suggests that the universe can actually borrow energy from spacetime, and it is a plausible possibility that the sum total is in fact zero.

and whatever is going on 'now' averaged over a plausible future evolution of just our region of infinity/eternity of an increasing profound emptiness and coldness and nothingness that continues to progress . . .


Black holes, which look like what everything we are aware of going to absorb sooner or later, eventually evaporate, but they do so into a dead dead dead empty empty empty universe of catastrophically enormous size.

Yeah, at 13.7 billion years into it, the current configuration of the universe looks like a big deal, but in the big picture view, it's not much of anything at all.

Really.
