Thread: Theory to the Existence of Anything

Matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed. This is a basic law of our known universe.

That is not the point, this theory is not saying anything is being created at all. you are simply taking "nothing" a.k.a. "0" and splitting it into "matter" and "dark matter" a.k.a. "1 -1." Do you not understand this? Do you get the concept of dark matter? Scientists theorize that it exists everywhere where matter is not. So your view of "nothing" and my view of "nothing" are completely different.

I like this idea.. makes you wonder.

Interesting thought, I recently read a similar article on the subject.

So, in some sense, universes are for free. It does not take net matter and energy to create entire universes. In this way, in the bubble bath, bubbles can collide, create baby bubbles, or simple pop into existence from nothing

The whole concept of Ying and Yang, the two opposing forces is also about the universe coming out of nothing. Two complementing, opposing forces canceling eachother out.

Can't believe I'm supplementing a post by Chayba, but:

A while back there was a lecture posted that explained your belief in more detail.

But essentially it was the same, how the universe could just be the positive and negative frequencies that, together, would cancel each other out, hence explaining the notion of "something out of nothing".

Here it is.

I have often thought of this, that everywhere is something, but it is mixed with nothing, thus creating nothing. But I believe that all matter is really very focused energy, so something is equal to the presence of the energy, and nothing is the loss of such. It is very hard to explain what I mean by this, and it is likely you won't take this as I mean it.

Hypothesis*

That is actually all very interesting and makes perfect sense. The universe is 0.

Haha thank you. I would also like to thank everyone for feedback on this topic.

Antimatter is made up of the same stuff as matter, it's just put together differently, it's not a matter of 1 and -1. Dark energy is also not the same as negative energy. The laws of physics do not allow creation from nothing. You'd have to find a way to vibrate the branes that make up the universe without applying anything to them, not possible.

Quantum physics is tricky business

The problem with this hypothesis is, if you start with nothingness (forget numbers, just think a lack of space and time), only more nothingness can come from that, represented only by that nothingness (by 0). If you have two opposing forces which somehow amount to the nothingness, what happened to make the nothingness be expressed by the existence of those two forces? How did it go from being 0 to 1-1? How did dark matter, etc. come to exist in the first place from nothing? You say a creator could have been responsible, but a creator would be something, so there wouldn't have been nothingness anyway. Also, if the creator is omnipotent, it should be able to create something out of nothing, create a 1 from a 0 in the first place.

He means everywhere there isn't matter, there is nothingness. Nothingness = 0, 0 = a single 1 and a single -1. When you add 1 + -1 you get 0. When you separate 1 and -1 you get matter and anti matter. That is at least what I got from it.

quantum fluctuation.

If you ask, so why the quantum fluctuation, my only answer is 'it's a strange universe.'

You have to keep in mind that matter and antimatter don't cancel each other out and result in 0 energy, they annihilate and turn into pure energy. This is more about all the negative energy, like negative gravity.

About how it started from nothing, well, quantum physics is stupid and confusing. Hopefully we'll have a better understanding some time.

the point here I think is that nothing (or a vacuum, dark matter, whatever), in terms of quantum physics, doesn't have no energy. In fact it seems to have even more than the stuff we can observe, even when most of our universe is composed of this "strange matter" (nothing).

Well I was under the impression that the OP's hypothesis describes how something comes from nothing (literally nothing, no 'pure energy', no God, no anything). Sorry if this is not what he meant, ignore my previous post. If it was what he meant, logic can tell you why it fails. You don't need to take physics into account at all.

Fuck theories! Lets build a time machine and go back 15 billion years and find out for ourselves!

Well first of all...
Anti-matter wouldn't represent negative numbers and matter wouldn't represent positive numbers.
It's the other way around. Numbers represent the objective thing.

Also, I think this kind of makes sense. But not exactly in the way you described it.
I'm thinking more, that everything can be represented by both it's counter-parts.
It's hard to articulate this.

Maybe more like the universe can be explained by everything being 0 and 1-1.

It's not really what I am trying to convey, I'll have to think about how to say it better.

if you're experiencing it, it exists.

Except for hallucinations.
