Why is there something rather than nothing?

Because if there was nothing, that would really be something.

[MoralNihilism]

The best answer to this question I have come across is this:

Nothing exists except logical possibility, which necessarily exists, and our perception of material existence is an epiphenomenon of our being logical subcomponents of a logically possible universe.

I'd link you to the website where I read that but YouTube won't let me, so type into Google: "Nothing exists except logical possibility" in quote marks, & you'll be able to find the answer on the knowinghumans website among others.

@MoralNihilism

I think nothing is not possible.

Awesome, but I though Fermi took his crap on a squash court, not handball.

[premed2]

@TheSameDonkey Crap you are right. Errrr ahhh... MOS knew that all along, I was just testing you. Well done.

There IS nothing.

[premed2]

@xy11xy Had you not left this comment I might have believed you. :p

@premed2 yay my repository of useless knowlege came in handy for once.

Just had the thought... Nuclear piles could bring a whole new definition to the term roid rage.

I'll be sure to add my voice to the chorus Monty Python style as we sing, Always look on the bright side of life while the oil is hitting the fan. ; )

@jogayot So jogayot, you find "value" in contradiction. Well MOS says, "something is better than nothing because you just said nothing is better than something. Checkmate!

Re: time/space, there is increasingly compelling evidence that time and space are derivative properties of our universe. MOS does not have the time or space to elaborate.

Lastly MOS implores you to please not use profane expressions such as "l*g%ic@l v@l*@t%&n", on this channel—or else—M'Kay?

[jogayot]

@premed2 thing is that nothing is "better" than something because it can contain contradiction at the same time/place. something has to have either of the "truth" values. or as in the case of material statements be obviously beyond logical valuation... mumble bumble.
