Our current scientific models, regarding what happens within this universe, suggest you can't get something "from nothing". But it's mere speculation to extrapolate that beyond the realms of our universe, in my opinion.
Can a universe pop into existence from nothing, for no reason? I don't know, and I don't see how anyone else can either. Maybe it can, maybe it can't. The answer to such a question doesn't need to make sense to us, it doesn't need to conform to our logic, nor to correlate with our local observations of this solitary universe we're subjectively experiencing.
(I'm using "universe" here as shorthand for "some self-contained environment", since it obviously makes no sense to talk about the universe being "all that exists" and then to discuss where it came from, or other potential universes.)
