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.
I haven't got a citation, but he said it on TV, and the link for the programme was posted on here, on a thread.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
