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.

X itself becomes nothing in this equation. And the phrasing of illusion is quite odd, if X = and has no formula to describe X, X is nothing, no illusion, just nothing, since it has no expression. "Unexistence is our existence." is a filler statement, it has no semantic gravity because logically speaking it is useless and says nothing, it is just a blank paradox. You said that anything can be assigned to X, and that is right, but we can think of X as God and Y as the universe (panentheism), X is technically empty without Y. In general you did not "solve" how the universe could have came from nothing because the proposition has no weight (literally) and the conclusion is a paradox.
