Why is there anything instead of nothing? How did life come to exist?

>>38139600
apparently modern physicists are coming up with ways something can come from nothing but I would never really understand it.

if you want to be rational about god you only need to ask who created him to end up at the same dead end of ignorance.

>>38139639
But the existence of something does imply something came from nothing, right? There's an implied t=0 for everything. There is an answer that exists, right? That's incredible!

We created existence for dank memes

>>38139600
the answer is god

>>38139689
possibly.

i think it's string theory,...reality is strings like frequencies and they touch and universes are made.

Can you be more specific, you zealot freak? HOW did he do it?

I heard it came from frequency + pure water

Thank you, sinpay, I'll look up some string theory shit

god is a religious term not a scientific one, he made it through wisdom as the good book says. He is the alef and the tau, the alpha and the omega the first and the last. His memorial name is YHWH.

How does wisdom create the universe?

>Gnosticism

Watch it anon

>>38140141
Gnosticism is LITERALLY the thinking man's fetish

Reality would not exist if we did not perceive it, ergo nothing exists if there are no brings to perceive it. The greater consciousness of the universe has struggled eternally to understand itself, like the cells of a body or the the atoms of those cells, we humans play a part of something bigger. It is said that the organism is enlightened when even it's individual cells become self aware. This is a never ending quest, the average iq of humanity as a whole increases by 10 points every 2 generations as a result of increased competition due to population increase. I suspect that humanity will colonize mars before it becomes extinct here on earth, with that being said we will continue to grow and consume like every other natural creature in the universe until we surpass the mass required to manipulate light. I like to think that our knowledge will be so vast before that point, that we will become interdimensional beings. But essentially we will reach a point where the universe will return inward on itself, and "time" will reverse as well. It will go like this until the universe condenses on itself and becomes both nothing and everything. Forward and backward, but we have a hard time grasping this because we can only grasp it from the perspective of outside the universe. Where our universe is but an atom in the conjecture of another universe, the relevance of time is different depending on your mass and the speed you travel in the universe. so it continues into infinity.

It's an age old question, and there's no real definitive answer, but essentially to understand the universe you have to have a brain the size of the universe to hold that information.

But the real question is....
>why do you need to know?

>>38139600
To ask why there is existence is to ask why there are some things that don't exist. Both reality and unreality depend on each other. They constantly change as well, ideas are brought to life, creatures go extinct, birth and evolution bring things into existence. There's my quick armchair metaphysics thesis

>>38139600
Consider this:
The only time the universe would notice itself is when it organizes itself in a way such that it can notice things.

In other words, the reason why there is anything is because the only time anything can be observed is when anything is organized into agents which can observe. You feelin' me?

The logic is strange, but it'll make sense once you digest it.

>>38140112
nowhere. It encompasses everything. Its the principle of totality.

the big bang came from nothing which created the universe which then compressed and became nothing again

so in essence the nothing came out of something in reverse (:

that means that there isn't anything and there never was

Duality in nature is a peculiar thing, it always fascinated me how almost everything has a front and back existence. From male/female to our DNA, to time itself our understanding of abstract thought always concludes that there is ultimately two. I find it fascinating, especially how most things cannot exist/evolve without their other half

>>38139600
>>38139639
The theories that attempt to actually answer that are not as of yet experimentally testable. But they all seem to imply that there was always 'something'. The 'nothing' physicists talk about that the universe supposedly comes out of isn't actually nothing, but some kind of quantum fluctuating state of existence. For example they talk of quantum tunneling of a vacuum into a false-vacuum bubble that detaches and inflates its own universe, and use this to hypothesize both where our universe started from as well as how our universe will recreate another after heat-death.

Not in the realm of physics anymore, but Alan Watts had an interesting bit to say about it, something along the loose lines of "if the universe has the possibility to exist or not exist, then it will always exist, for so long as it is choosing not to exist, there will be no space-time or beings in space-time to make note. Once existence is chosen, it will seem to be all there is". It kind of shifts the question to "why is existence even possible?"

There are of course religious answers to your question too. But I feel that whether you approach it in terms of physics or philosophy or theology, the best you can do is to shift the question.

>>38139600
Because nothing was stopping it from existing obviously

Nature disdains our aesthetic preferences. We think anti-matter and matter should have existed at the start in equal proportions? Nature says, "fuck you, I do what I want." The ancients assumed the celestial bodies must be perfectly spherical, because they were equally dumb.

Nah life's better than that man, having realized these things has helped me to move past selfish ways and to achieve some great things in my life. Use the knowledge as a tool rather than let it eat you from the inside

The very first life is a result of geothermal vents where elements like sulfur interacted with the water and carbon to create single cell lifeforms.

However, it took 3 billion years for life to evolve beyond a single cell, which is the more interesting area of study.

>>38140351
Yes yes, I agree. Maybe it breaks all the way down to a simple True and False; Yes and No; 1 or 0. More likely that everything is simply based on that system of logic, but who knows?

maybe future humans will be capable of all kinds of shit we think is impossible now, but i think humanity as a whole is numbered. if we dont kill ourselves first, the planet will finish us off.

>Reality would not exist if we did not perceive it
Ergo, if a tree falls in the forest and no one was around to hear it fall, it didn't happen. :^)

Nothing is no thing. It doesn't exist outside our imagination.
There certainly can't be no thing where there is some thing and since there is some thing everywhere, "no thing" must not exist.

I suppose the vacuum of space or the "nothing" surrounding the protons and electrons of atoms could be said to be nothing.
But it still must be something. At the very least it's the thing that separates the little parts that make up the material world.
