Why does anything at all exist?

[Mudhammam]

This is what I want to know.

Why did that question pop into your head so that you wrote it at exactly the time of 8:37 today? Why didn't you ask it at 8:36? Or 8:38? Can you give me an exact reason why you asked it when you did before I try to attempt an answer?

Yeah but there are in fact laws there to begin which which spawn something. Why are there laws instead of nothing? Anyway I get it nobody knows. Never mind.

Now you're hitting on a huge question - what is nothing?

There seems to be an almighty fight going on in physics to define it.

Again according to Krauss this process would happen with no laws governing it, no laws of physics and even no energy as long as the net energy of the process is zero.

Have to remind you though - this is my interpretation of watching a series of videos on youtube. I am not a physicist. You'd be better watching Krauss' stuff on youtube for yourself and deciding from there.

I recommend the universe from nothing one and the worst possible universe one. They are about an hour each I think.

That's easy. Nothing is the absence of everything.

I haven't read Krauss' book yet but I've watched a number of interviews and some lectures on it. I got'a say, I'm not impressed. When Krauss says "no laws," he's granting that there's some underlying principle by which quantum foams produce any Universes at all. To me, that's a law. Call it a meta-law.

Still, I love everything else Krauss has to say.
