Question: Something from nothing!?
*IF* it were the case that "something" could come from "nothing", does it follow that "anything" would come from "anywhere", or "everything" would from from "everywhere"!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Not exactly!.

If something can come from nothing, then we can safely say that somewhere could come from nowhere, sometime could come from notime, and somebody could come from nobody!.

This of course means that a nobody could go on to be a somebody - which is a nice, comforting thought if one is at present either
(A) an underachiever, or
(B) an entity caught between dimensions and attempting to become manifest in this physical plane!.

And if you happened to be an underachieving entity caught between dimensions, you could totally, like, knock yourself out just thinking about it!.

Good question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Having a thing come from nothing only demonstrates that this particular thing can do so!. There maybe be reasons why subsets or supersets of that thing cannot behave similarly!.

This is the same logical error that many people make when talking about the universe as a whole!. Even if nothing in the universe can just come from nowhere, it does not mean that the universe as a whole cannot come from nowhere!.

Different cases are different!. So it goes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ya, everything is Everything where Everything is God, and for Everything to be everything, it has to include nothing!. It's from nothing that the illusion of the universe seeps out through the OM point and the OM point is infinite and is everything!. So everything is the center of creation because God is infinite and everything and is actually the only thing that exist and is the center of creation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no, it does not follow

because in that "anything" might be something that could not come from the original "something", because anything is more encompassing than something!. and even if it is granted that "anything" could emerge from nothing, it does not follow that "anything" could come from "anywhere" because that "anywhere" could include a place in which there is something rather than nothing!.

This pseudo philosophy is starting to get old!. Do you really want an answer to this pointless question, that has no real life application or are you indulging yourself, seeking confirmation to your intelligence from others!? Philosophy is not about playing with words, it is about the search for the truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

something = a particle of existent matter
nothing = not part of existent matter

anything = generic infinity of objects
anywhere = generic spacial infinity

everything = all that exists or ever did exist
everywhere = an infinity of spacial locations!.

The analogy would be something came from someWHERE not NO THING!.

People can't even understand the words they are typing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

everything from nothing, yields a subset of anything (but may not all things) from nothing, and an even smaller subset of something (but definitely not everything) from nothing!.

Moreover, everywhere and anywhere might have been spawned from nowhere!.

Simple, nothing doesn't and never existed because it's nothing, thus something always existed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I only dispute the everything would come from everywhere!. Don't ask why, that was just my first thought!Www@QuestionHome@Com

G This question certainly came from nothing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
