Something from Nothing

RE: Something from Nothing
You'd have to ask them...but, broadly...Krauss and Hawking have wildly divergent opinions on the matter..part of it due to each man's own opinion.. and another likely part of the demographics of their readership.  Both men address concepts in the popular mind, concepts important or interesting to their readers.  Hawking considers the subject line incoherent, and could be described as a non-cognitivist in this regard.  Krauss considers the traditional concepts close enough for govt. work..and could be considered a compatibilist. 

Neither man assigns credence to the baggage of nothing, and neither man is discussing what spacetime arose from.  That would be the BB.  Their comments surround the conditions prior to the bb...if it's a coherent notion...not after it.  In neither mans explanation is spacetime anything other than a physical product of a physical event.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
