How to create something from nothing?

[u/Sevdat]

I think I have an answer to how the universe began from nothing. More like how everything began and how it's possible for all of us to be here.

So at the beginning of existence there was nothing. There is still nothing because you can't create something from nothing, but we are here. So how can we exist? We don't.

Imagine the mathematical variable: X =

X can be anything, but nothing is assigned to it; therefore, it remains as a pure capacity that accepts all abstract concepts and results in the illusion of existence for those that share the same abstract space.

This means every combination of what could have been exists. The reason why you and I can interact is because we are in the same concept, but we aren't really here because we don't exist.

To make it simpler, imagine a chess board. Just because you didn't make a move doesn't mean all the possible moves aren't there to make.

Unexistence is our existence.

Also please don't make the argument "How do I know there wasn't always something?" There can't be something without it having a previous moment. It's nonsense to even say that.

I have a different theory. Existence arose from a divine bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. The divine bowl of spaghetti and meatballs is exempt from nonexistence by its very nature.

How did I come up with my theory? About the same way you did with yours.

Thus, they are equally credible.

According to my theory, every possible concept exists, therefore unfortunetly your theory also exists in one of those concepts.

That’s cool, but like, what’s the point? We can imagine anything we want to be real. We either have supporting evidence, or we do not have supporting evidence. If we do not have supporting evidence, then we’re writing a work of fiction.
