At what moment in the past was there ever nothing ?
Something comes from something and that would indicate that something has always existed.
It didn't need to be created. It has always been here.
The way I think about it is that whenever there was time, there was matter, energy, and space. Causality only makes sense *within* the universe because causality requires time and time is part of the universe.
At no point in time was there 'nothing'. If nothing else, there was time.
That's wrong. Causality does not require time--time requires causality (events).
Quote:Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.[1][2][3] Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.[4][5][6][7] Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time
