This is very non scientific, non technical , without basis in any fact
.... but doesn't
logic lead to the conjecture that the sum of all universe(s), matter, time
and dimensions ought to be zero. The only way "something" could be created
from "nothing" is if
"nothing" could divide itself into "nothing" and "anti-nothing" by some
kind of internal or external destabilizing event or circumstance. Call the
extra-corporeal superintelligence able to split time/space/dimensions "god"
or whatever, it does
make for the occaisional creepy feeling that "something is out there"?
