Why does anything exist?

Only true if you assume time is independent of creation, which it's not.

But why would any particular configuration of the universe exist? It seems so arbitrary.

The two least arbitrary ways are if either everything exists or nothing exists.

If everything exists then there's a universe just like our where no other universes exist. Therefore it's not true that everything exists. (if you complain that truths in a universe don't extend to another universe then you get into more arbitrary decisions between truth interactions between universes)

The only option that makes sense left is that nothing exists. But clearly something exists.

It really bothers me.

Can you explain that better?

I understand you and think similarly.
I think it's more likely that everything exists. Maybe our existences are only a part from an infinitely infinite thing. Imagine there is an infinite amount of Universes just like this one, all are occupying the same position in space. And also an infinite amount of infinite Universes each just one subatomic particle different from each other. Absolutely everything exists within one single instant and within one single point of space, in a way it occupies infinite space and time. Your whole life is only a part of that. And it keeps flashing between existing and not existing. This single point becomes infinite existence and absolute non existence simultaneously super fast like in a superposition. I could try to explain it better, but it's a concept I have in my mind. Maybe in the distant future Internet Historians will look back at this post and say "damn he was right" and praise me for being a genius.

The fascinating thing about these two models is that either one is equally mind boggling.

another question along the same lines of
>how did something come from nothing
is
>why is the something finite

Time started when the big bang started. There was no before. There doesn't need to be any conception whatsoever that there was or wasn't something because even if there was, it wouldn't be part of our universe.

Does a=a?
If there was nothing then it would actually be nothing. It's wrong to say nothing is something.
So even in 'nothing world' there are still laws of logic and facts. Those are not really nothing so it turns out nothingness is logically contradictory with itself and therefore can't be the case.
