In order for that to happen, "nothing" would have to be some kind of some thing, that another thing could come from. Nothing, by definition can't be any type of thing at all. In other words, perhaps matter has always existed in some form. What are your thoughts on that?(December 1, 2017 at 11:12 pm)Grandizer Wrote: I'm sorry, but I don't know how better to explain what I mean by the Cosmos. The Cosmos is everything in existence, excluding God. Yes, people have varying definitions of this and that, but I'm trying to help you out here by giving you one definition that I adhere to. No, you're not the whole Cosmos. You are a part of it. Using some basic mathematics set terminology, the Cosmos is the set, and we are the various elements of it.
About this local universe that you and I are observing: actually, it's not necessarily true what you're saying. With the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe was started, but the theory doesn't actually state/imply that this universe had a beginning to its existence.
Well clearly I haven't always been here. So which part of the cosmos do you believe has always been here?
