(April 20, 2012 at 8:17 pm)Norfolk And Chance Wrote: The Universe = nothing. According to Stephen Hawking anyway - there is the same amount of anti matter in the universe as matter, therefore the mass of the universe is nothing. So actually everything is nothing.

It also gets around the xtian "how can something come from nothing" argument, because everything is nothing anyway!

Quite the brain bender.

You got a citation for this? If there wasn't a small asymmetry between antimatter and matter, there would be no "stuff" and the universe would be empty.
