How could it possibly?Knowledge isn't required. Stars are formed all the time without any knowledge input from anyone. All that is required is the action of the physical laws. As for 'power', that term is rather ambiguous in this context, but again, the physical laws are what mediate the formation of things.
But, and this is crucial, the known physical laws *do* allow for a 'universe from nothing', in part because the the total energy balance of the universe is zero (the gravitational energy is negative and exactly balances the energy from other sources).
It's not new matter, so N/A. So far no physical laws that allow a universe from nothing. Just conjecture.
