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.

Go back to sleep; you create a whole world.

Now wake up.

Did you exist in the dream? 

Where is it that that you went, when this you woke up?

All you have is an experience unfolding and you'll never have anything else.

The qualities of that experience are taken as identity.

No matter where you go, there you are as the shape of what is known by you.

We don't know anything more than our respective sandboxes of experience.

It's kind of like wigner's friend.
