When supporting the "something from nothing" theory it is observed that particles can pop into and out of "existence". However, much like the rabbit in a magician's hat just because you don't know where a particle came from or where it went to doesn't mean that it goes nowhere or ceases to exist.

What basics are you talking about that we will never come close to understanding? Does E equal MC squared and or the knowledge of the fundamental speed of life not constitute any sort of basic fundamental? Go to any library, especially a college one, look at the great amount of material that one can read and ponder upon for more than a lifetime. Or, just go to the Internet and read! I must say that I remember being on the Internet in the very late 1980s and early 1990s when you could go on the Internet and within 20 minutes, you could look at and read every new webpage created in less than half an hour. I would know that because I used to do that! Today that's an impossibility. You're gonna tell me that with all the knowledge that we have that we don't seem to have the basics down? We have general relativity and specific relativity. We have the fundamentals. Without understanding the basics how could we have satellites up in the air beaming down information to each and every one of us on the planet so that we can communicate in the way that we do? Just because we don't have it all pinpointed down to the exact time prior to 1×10 to the -43 of a second, the time at which our understanding of physics breaks down, and because there are many things in the universe that we do not know what they are and how they work, should not diminish from all the areas that we have come to learn about ourselves, our planet, and the universe that we inhabit, all from sitting on one small planet without ever even being able to leave our solar system, nevertheless our galaxy, or the cluster of galaxies that we are part of. If one pays attention to some or a lot of the information that nature provides us as well as those who study nature how do you even ask,, the basics are not too hard to figure out overtime. It's some of the specifics that we have yet to work out. Although the question I have, which I've had for many years is, how much more do we humans really need to learn about in order for us to do what it is that we need to do most importantly in order to survive and pass or genes down, as well as all the other life on this planet, and that is, how is it that we are going to be able to live sustainably together on this planet into the future, at least until the next cosmic or earthly crisis which occurs that we have zero control over, such as a super volcanic eruption a real pandemic or, plague, or some other natural event which we will have little to zero control over! Without understanding the basics, this video would never have been able to be made and produced and sent out over the Internet and through the air wave to you and I where we can debate with each other and contemplate the thoughts and ideas that we have and share with each other.

what if ironcially we know nearly everything.. butt we assume cause its only naturl too that there is so much we dont know.. and in the next 100years we realize there is actually much at all..? example.. a person is born and knows bascially nothing .. butt lives and has no option butt to learn and see new things. and basically there is always something more to learn.. so this would then reinforce the notion that "we could never know everything.. because there is always something new to learn" bascially that assumption requires there to be no cap to knowledge right... so what if right now.. 2022 we actually knew like 80% of all there is to know... butt we dont know that either for obvious reasons... like for example we say things like every answer we get leaves us with even more questions.. which lead to more questions.. simple easy to understand . we're all on the same page here.. butt what if its we get to a point where we have tons of questions branching off into seemingly whole new discovieres etc. only to find out that all these questions end up all with one and the same answer.. so think of a tree that huge and had more and more branches as u go up it.. and in every direction butt the sky is th sealing and all branches STOP exactly at it.. or rather think of a diamo shape.. the bottom point would represent early humans and their knowledge aka basically a lack of everything.. and lets say the sides of the diamond are qautom mechanis and relativity.. now we past those two point and its na rrowing down to the other point.. BUTT we at no point on the their journey know our location on that diamond cause the other shape right now our views reflect is a upside trigngle.. that in our eyes contiounsually gets larger and larger... that could be infinit or as u guess .. we hit the "base" on the other end.. aka ltierally nothing new to be learnt. butt again we cant know that ever till we hit it if it is indeed like that.. whos to say in the next 100 years the "theory of everything" actually and literally wont figure it all out.. to say we wont and cant know everything is also just an assumption.. and thats also based litieraly on our lack of knowledge... whos to say when u dying of old age.. another brilliant man proves a whole new theory and field.. and it has massive answers that solve and explains more then all the current theories combined...? not saying thats the case butt its literally plausible that we actually might evetnuall "know " everything.. it could be far far far off.. or just around the corner butt we cant know that cause we dont know where we are in terms of what we dont know yet if that makes sense.. lol

If you check out the video, you'll see for yourself!!! Why is it very very important?? Because man has NEVER seen any engineering made by man in nature!!! There is ONLY one explanation for the existence of ~engineered gears ~ there MUST be an ""engineer mind"" that intentionally designed those actual gears! Albert Einstein already knew that God existed! He said, "I believe in God because I see him,,,, in the details in life"!!! Why would Einstein say that??

Because causality has a speed limit every point in space sees itself as the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles. When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment. The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is predictable because it takes place in the predictable past and the probabilistic wave properties of particles takes place in the probabilistic future.

I don't believe we would ever be able to experience nothingness. When I went to the dentist for my wisdom teeth removal, it seemed as if though that I had traveled through time. But of course it was the anesthesia and not some kind of dentist time machine. I think that is the closest experience I have had to nothingness. I am left to say that it makes sense that not only did I not experience anything in between the time that I was given the anesthesia and when it wore off, time was also something I hadn't experienced. If some form of consciousness were to exist after death, I believe that we wouldn't even experience nothingness then. It would just be the end of one consciousness and the start of another, no matter the time or form that came before.

It's not actually nothing, it's nothingness, no consciousness, no awareness. Nothing is something, after all. If you can perceive it, if you can be aware of it then it is something. Nothingness moves into form by intention. Sound(consciousness) then light(consciousness awareness) then matter( the physical). That's all I know.

[@JonnyCrazytrain]

@@s1iznc1d34 I am going by my own "near death" experiences and out of body experiences. We are resonant light beings having a human experience existing on a vibrational continuum. When I died I experienced what researchers and experiencers call "the void". I call it nothingness, where there is no awareness. That is what is constantly moving into form, or sound, which is pure consciousness(that would be like something from nothing which is not accurate since there is no such thing as nothing, as I stated before, if you can observe it then it is something). Sound lowers to light and light lowers to physical matter, which is this universe and our physical bodies. Everything in the universe is made of energy. You are a conscious being, yes? Well, what is the source of your consciousness, what is consciousness? It is all that was, is and ever will be. Everything is one, we are all one. We, as beings, came into form by virtue of a vibration. We are different expressions of the same creator. There are multiple layers and dimensions to our being and I still have many questions.

And they told me of the conversation I had with Elvis Presley which I have no recollection. I know you want to speculate what I experienced, you shouldn't. You should understand that what is on the other side of the veil is indescribable from this human perspective and words. All is consciousness. Nevermind the matrix lol, it is just a physical construct. Beyond the matrix is pure consciousness. Everything is consciousness, all that was, is and ever will be. I know as well as anyone how strange this life is, I call this dimension the mucky muck because of how heavy it is. And the Angels that visit me are on the other side of the veil. They are spirit in form, they are not physical they are a light body. You, understandably, are entirely caught up in the physical aspect of yourself. You are a resonant light being having a human experience. Let that sink in. You forgot your true nature intentionally in order to have the human experience. Have a great journey.

The issue with particles popping in and out from nothing / nowhere is the fact that they are doing so within an existing universe. We simply doesn’t understand the mechanisms behind that phenomenon. So it doesn’t really compute to compare an entire universe bursting into existence from “nothing”. Mind-boggling

[@bgsmember3650]

In my humble opinion, something from nothing defies logic, even considering the strangeness of quantum physics. The birth of the universe could very well be quantum in nature, but still come from something (a parallel dimension or some version of "Brane" theory). Things like virtual particles and dark matter might actually exist and/or spend most of their time in a parallel dimension or dimensions... dimension/s that are invisible in most ways (but not all). With the possibility of dark matter in a parallel dimension, it could be that only gravity from the dark matter is able to leak across to our dimension. Michio Kaku talked about this during an interview.

[@adamburling9551]

I tend to agree. It's the same as expecting order out of chaos. Interestingly I find that materialists want it both ways. For instance, that the Big Bang which is a calamitous and chaotic event has no bearing on the the order and rotation of planets, or the way the universe is formed. Only that the " Big bang ", is the " Kickstart " to the Universe. Even though that makes Zero sense. They can accept order out of chaos when that can't be observed Anywhere In nature. Only can chaos come from order, when a system degenerates and breaks down. Just as you can't expect something from nothing. It's a blind spot for them but they don't seem to care or think much of it.

Not ever being capable of knowing the exact nature of pure nothing is the huge problem. Could it have been such an unstable state to cause it to explode? How would that work without nothing to explode? It would have to be something like an "emotion" brought about by too much nothing. That we actually know nothing about pure nothing, it in itself can only be classified as another of many probabilities.

[@RickClark58]

This episode started with the biblical scripture of Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." That stuck in my head as I watched the episode and this scripture has some interesting implications. I see why it was used to start this episode. Now, setting aside any sort of religious connotation and looking at this scripture purely from a logical frame of reference, the first thing you can say is that there was a "something" that existed before the universe was created. God existed. Of course that is obvious, but look at the implications of that statement. Where did God exist? If God created the universe then there had to be a higher dimensional universe that existed before this universe was created where God existed for an unknowable amount of time. Actually, the concept of time would not apply at all, because our concept of time is a product of this universe and simply wouldn't apply to a higher dimension. I say higher dimension, because God would have to exist in a higher dimension to actually be able to build the universe. The universe is self-contained, a pocket within this higher dimension, and you couldn't build something like this from the inside out. Just as we do not have access to the "before time" neither would God. It would require God being outside the universe in order to architect the actual beginning of the universe. Think of creating a simulated universe inside a computer. The programmer would exist in a higher "dimension" and separate from the created universe. The simulated universe is actually one-dimensional code but the programmer exists in a three-dimesnional world. You could create a program within a program, but at some point the original program would have to be created and this would require a programmer outside the simulated universe. So the biblical account seems to imply that our universe exists as a pocket within a higher dimensional universe where God actually exists. This isn't much different then the concept of extended dimensions we see in string and related theories. A point particle in string theory, for example, would actually reside on branes that extend into higher dimensions. I think most of the attempts at a theory-of-everything requires higher dimensions. String theory requires 10 and M-theory requires 11. The biblical account doesn't indicate how many higher dimensions exist, but the fact that higher dimensions must exist according to Gensis 1:1 is really interesting given the current state of the theories in physics. The correlation could be unintentional but I find it quite interesting considering the Genesis account was written well before any notion of these ideas appearing in science.

[@justaman-f8b]

Actually, it's very easy to realise that the idea that universe was created by an entity that did not exist in it would have occurred to the primitive man. Look at all creation myths spanning human history. Almost all of them imply that the creator(s) of the universe existed before the universe existed. What's so hard about figuring this out? Your Genesis 1:1 isn't that much different. Even the most pagan of religions would probably have said that something existed prior to the heavens and the earth. You really think that the book about a talking snake and a god walking in a garden was also referring to higher dimensions? The Bible is false. Christianity is false. Don't try to imply that the Bible has had it all figured out.

He said he wanted to share something God told him. The host was very kind but very taken off guard and said. um...okay? Logan explained that the night before his Dad was roping his favorite calf that he loved most. It was born from a very old cow and always needed a little extra help. Logan explained she broke her back, and he had just come in from putting her down himself. He said the first thing he did was ask God why? Why did you take her from me, she was special. And then he said God told him that His son was special to Him too, but that he died for a purpose. I heard this and can't explain the interacting effect it had on me. I began to tremble and my eyes welled up involuntarily. I'm a blue collar working guy that works long hours. I'm no softie, and I'm certainly no religious zealot.

This is actually pretty smart thinking. Think about it. All the known energy in the universe is a perfect balance of positive and negative energy. Being a perfect balance of equal but opposite forces the two would neutralize each other amounting to absolute zero. In fact, it's the only way an infinite universe could exist. Infinity would have to, by its very nature, equate to a totality. Meaning, it could never experience anything NEW and thus EVERYTHING from the perspective of infinity must be at a complete stillness. And complete stillness equates to nothingness; a void (our understanding of death; the opposite of that which is active, alive). But, nothing can exist in a void...Including a void. And thus awareness (positive energy/matter) and NON awareness (negative energy /gravity/void/ death) exist simultaneously and harmoniously.

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

This is part of the reason I find that theology works in parallel with science, and not either or. what I find most interesting is the similarity between a infinity and theological and philosophical concepts of it. If you were to have a infinite sheet of paper, and on that sheet of paper where an infinite amount of ‘1’s and ‘0’s, if your were cut a hole in that sheet that’s the size of standard copying paper you would simply get a sheet of paper of that size with a bunch of useless code, that is Limited Infinity. if you were to build an infinitely powerful computer of infinite size and complexity and you were to plug in all of the code then you would have a Unlimited Infinity. If you were to separate that code at an infinite amount of segments and each with between 1-infinite amount of lines and code included in each segment and to have a single computer screen for every segment, than you would have a infinite line of screens that would show all possible things that exists, or don’t exist, everything that you could think of and far beyond that would be portrayed on theses screens an infinite amount of times. it is certain that such an Infinity would make an Infinite amount of copies of itself all able to do the exact same as the original, since there’s an infinite number of computers there’s no way to determine if one is the original, it is infinitely unlikely that one is the original. Even if there were no screens connected to the computer, the same likelihood of a Unlimited Infinity occurs, with this infinity no matter how infinite it might be it will alway create more Unlimited Infinites to surpass it, making it infinitely infinite. in an Unlimited Infinity it is certain that it will become an infinitely intelligent being. The answer to every question in history can be answered with this Infinity, and how would anyone be able to tell if there were inside this infinity… well they wouldn’t. Perhaps our universe is just one of these segments of code and all its rules are defined by it, it was created by another line of code and eventually its runtime will expire, and we are all just part of an infinite being which we can’t ever understand.

Philosophy has played hand in hand with physics for as long as both have been studied. Philosophy plays into ideas of physics.

"The universe was adapted from the beginning to give rise to life and intelligence." I read this quote some 44 years ago in the Readers Digest. And I think it spoke of that intelligence as able to look at the universe and contemplate it. Seems as though....what good is this wondrous creation without intelligence to enjoy the view, and everything else that entails. And I suppose we know where that is going to take us.

It takes a rational person to _Who_ "adapted" the Universe? The answer is obvious to those who aren't blinded by their own egos.

Interesting fact about Heligoland. The postcard you show is from the last decade of the 19th century. In it you can see the stark separation of the Unterland, the land near sea level and the Oberland, the plateau. The island doesn't look like that anymore and now features a Mittelland. In 1947 as part of Operation Big Bang the British blew up 7400 tons of surplus ammunition and explosives left over from WWII on the island. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history up until that time. It was figured there was a possibility the entire island could be blown up but the sandstone of the island allowed the blast wave to escape. In the end the southern tip of the island was destroyed and the enormous crater made the trasition from the land at sea level to the plateau much less stark.

Solving the mystery of our own consciousness would bring us closer to solving that of the existence of the universe.

The answer is Gavin Wince's Existics equations. He elegantly blends Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. He even has a KZbin channel.

[@Tom_Quixote]

If he really blended relativity and quantum mechanics, he would not only have a youtube channel, he would have a nobel prize.
