For a zero net sum early universe, he wants to know why the net zero isn't just " nothing".
Why does it have to be composed of 2 alternate energies resulting in a net zero.
Is this a theoretical explanation or is it occurring in nature constantly?
Is this argument a little like abiogenesis where we know we are here and hence work backwards to find a natural explanation? I assume neither can be proven or recreated in a lab.
OP, please know that if skyfairies exist, science will be the first to let you know, I promise.
Lots of nobels to go around when the time comes... Until then, don't waste your time with bronze age fairy tales.
It is ocurring in nature constantly. The particle-antiparticle pairs which constantly appear in the vacuum due to the uncertainty of matter fields do basically the same thing.
If you wait long enough (and in an infinite expanse of eternal infinite void, what else is there to do?) eventually something more interesting than 'just' a particle/antiparticle pair will appear.

And if you wait long enough after that happens, your little item of interest will vanish too . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
