I wish that I could find the original paper, but here's the abstract at least:




Hmmm....

Aren't "quantum tunneling" and "de Sitter space" two things which taken together are something?  All of the "something from nothing" speculations I have researched require various laws, structures or processes to first be in place in order for their nothing ==> something to occur.  They all seem quite silly, at least on this point, and appear to reduce to semantics.

Aristotle would have found modern physics to be disturbing.
