Talk:Why is there anything at all?

Source 📝

1038:"Some argue that the question may be inherently illogical; if the universe had no beginning point then its non-existence might never have been an option. One study has suggested a model that eliminates the initial singularity and predicts that the Universe had no beginning but existed forever as a kind of quantum potential before 'collapsing' into the Big Bang's hot dense state. In other research a possible consequence of ‘rainbow gravity’ might be that the universe had no beginning with time stretching back infinitely without an initial singularity and Big Bang. Similarly physics may conclude that time did not exist before the Big Bang, but 'started' with the Big Bang and hence there might be no 'beginning', 'before' or potentially 'cause' and instead always existed." 445: 1261:
its own)? Howbeit, from this dream argument, it can be argued that ‘nothing exists’ is a possibility and therefore the first question should not be ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?’ It may be something deeper and original which does not invoke any assumptive axiom. Before arriving at this question it seems that we have to confront some other questions like ‘Is there something rather than nothing?’ Or maybe ‘Is something different than nothing?’ Or ‘Is something the same as nothing?’ Or even ‘What is nothing? What is something?’ These questions disturb the sediment of Cartesian certainty of our existence or of the existence of the universe in the first place.

because one function of existence is observation. Likewise, if anything exists in these spaces and can’t observe us, we’re equally nonexistent. Following Hobbes’ Critique of Descartes’ Meditations: “Does Reality Admit of More or Less?” If not, then anything not entirely real doesn’t exist at all. Thus, while this question remains unanswered (and always will), the Jury is Out on whether or not Anything Exists.

why implies whom) cause, which of course is the deity or other personified ignorance of the questioner. This is the real import of the question, to beg the existence of God, or other rebellion against reason, in actual use in the real world although this not always made clear, it is usually self evident in the context of natural discourse.
298: 1596:. Susskind is noted in the now beleaguered string theory. My personal naive model identifies the cosmic singularity with a one time event, the interaction of the primordial branes, a collision is how it would be portrayed in Peanuts style. So i guess bringing this new thing in, our universe is a holographic image of that event. 791:"Origin of matter" leads towards thoughts on matter (atoms, etc), and towards mechanisms of Big Bang etc.. As above the scientists and thinkers referenced are pursuing the much more general question of how come anything at all exists. Also some thinkers believe our existence may be virtual, i.e. matter does not exist. 941:
I am removing this reference. As mentioned, the incompleteness theorems are abused in all type of ways. Currently the mention is vague and doesn't properly explain how it relates to the topic. "System" and "superset" have specific meanings in the context of Godel's theorems and I don't think they can

Following the 'deletion?' discussion, I agree with suggestions to (1) rename the page to "Origin of existence", and (2) redirect of "Ultimate question" and "Why is there anything at all" to that renamed page. Please could some wizard with sublime wiki skill action that? JCJC777 (talk) 20.07, 25 April

I wish I could say that was in general the case Hyperbolick, unfortunately it's not. In the shitshow of contemporary physics, in addition to main one you mention, there's plenty of singularity from nothing, precipitation in ekpyriotic cycles and the like. It's not wall-wall though there's people who
1081:^this. North of the north pole is a classic analogy in physics often used to address the question of “before the big bang”. It was clearly misunderstood or misused, either by whoever wrote this article or by the guy being cited. As you’ve pointed out, this whole page is full of irrelevant nonsense. 1689:
The Leibniz quote is used twice, in both the Mathematical Necessity section and the God section, both times without much explanatation. Suggest removing from at least one section, citing "the above leibniz quote" in the other as needed, and provide some additional context as to the meaning, because

In modern contexts, particularly in the cultural milleu of science and the Analytic philosophical tradition, this is not considered a meaningful question and is considered a model case of the meaninglessness of traditional metaphysics generally. The question begs the answer of a first (personal, as

1049:
For the record, I agree the question seems illogical, but only because the logic of its answer (and there must be one) is beyond the ability of the human intellect to comprehend, not unlike a computer trying to interpret commands written in a computer language it is not programmed to comprehend.
780:
Ref. what I am trying to document; it is the completely general question of how come anything at all exists (as set out by Liebniz et al refs in the page). i.e. atoms, laws, maths, pink guineau pigs, the universe(s), consciousness. I have added a sentence to the page intro to try to help on this.
1720:
Its just begging the question. If an observer was “obviously” implied by observation then the question wouldn’t be possible to ask, nor would there “exist” non-self based ideologies like Buddhism. A conscious observer working with only sense-perceptions can absolutely be delusional about its own
1639:
Now to the Nothing, I don't fear; for the books do say the dead do sleep; And in the memory of God, where nothing lives, I think I would not weep. But bring me out of such a slumber, built on dreams of more and a new wish. To take me out of memory thats nothing and to eternity I would be a dish.

This whole article needs to be rewritten from scratch. In a strict language of formal logic and observations (of patterns) that doesn’t allow nonsense like opinions, beliefs, delusions, ignorance, stupidity, miscommunication, social standards and wishful thinking to derail it again and again and

In terms of experiments, I’d say start with either “Imagine the Space Between Atoms” or “Space Between Universes.” Both different degrees of nothing. If anything does exist in these ‘spaces’, its completely inaccessible. Functionally nonexistent. Anything functionally nonexistent is nonexistent

1627:
Because this world does stand in shadows of His light and others shown, Light that teaches truth, the wisdom, and knowledge of things now known. A soul does crave the light; wants to know the truth and peace because. For in darkness we become the dark and let our souls embrace more flaws.
1643:
Pour forth forever after; for our bodies only take from something given; The grace of God; forgiveness and the ability to join now the; enliven. For I've been good, I'd cry, and given too, and always tried to learn; Of the very much that came from nothing and the darkness I did spurn.
1635:
Of the dark we speak of nothings but some things do haunt the land, Fallen angels and unspeakables that twist and grope, and shake the hands. I would rather turn to nothing; be in the memory of such a God so great. So to return to everlasting, and to the judgement I would make a date.
1619:
For I yeild to a God of Nothing, more than one of something grand; For more things have come from nothing and return, I do understand. What with Big Bangs bold as bullets, shooting out from none at all; I would give my last breathe, breathing from which angels stood to fall.
900:
I don't want to contribute directly to the article as I'm involved in the afd discussion, but I would caution the mention. Godel's incompleteness theorem is abused a lot in a pseudoscientific way, and without a credible source for its application, this probably falls foul of
1623:
For there is a place called nothing, and a place called shadow too, And as the fallen know they stand, in such a place that knew but few. And as God must be, such light that causes shadows, here, to grow; I am but to Him nothing so to this nothing, I must seem first to go.
1647:
Of the shadows that we live in of the Light and God and other men; I know I still live in shadow of the light of God and so other then, To be in light I crave and when, I ask and try and move to thee; In life do I have to eat the fruit of good and evil and their tree.
1105:
I agree and removed several of those passages, as they clearly presume something existing (e.g. quantum mechanics) to start their speculations or misunderstand the question as "why is there a beginning?". I've also tried to generally clean up and focus the article. -

Cyclical universe is not necessarily paradox. Could just be a series of repeating iterations. Same with "The Last Question." The computer creates a universe, but we don't know, could be a brand new one. Paradox is raised by a situation like time travel: traveler from

More precisely, why as opposed to how (the something we see arose from what was before) implies agency. Also this article could have more on scientific theories about what precipitated this universe and how that's different (when it is) from something from nothing.

Spotted this in a discussion forum, don’t know its provenance: “Isn’t it odd that anything exists? It’s most peculiar. It requires effort, it requires energy, and it would have been so much easier for there to have been nothing at all.”

in a way that applies it to the article? E.g. our universe/something is the system, and to answer why there is something and not nothing, can not be answered from inside our system, as it applies to our system and its superset.

existence. “Something” is only implied by a scientific, disembodied, non-conscious observation (something impossible for humans to accomplish). As soon as consciousness is projected onto it, it becomes uncertain.

I did not know that, but "Why there is anything at all" is in my opinion, grammatically incorrect. The title is a much better fit because the article is about a question, which makes it easier to search for.

The fact that the question “Is this really happening right now?” has self-evident colloquial meaning is proof in-itself that the Universe can’t necessarily be said to exist.

The question is most decidedly not analogous to asking: “What is north of the North Pole?” Rather, the question is analogous to asking: “Why is there a North Pole?”

At most, the last paragraph of the first section currently mentions two of the tree possibilities, but doesn’t even mention the causal cycle as the third option.
501: 1779: 1570:, don't the scentific theories themselves presuppose a "something" preexisting everything else? A quantum state or a vacuum potential dynamic, or some such? 393: 271: 1769: 356: 346: 1809: 598: 90: 1439:. Either way, having an article title phrased as a question is a bad idea.
