JESUS IS GOD!.....lol just kidding...

@lifeandphilosophy ;) Ya sure does :). Unless it came from some multiverse of its own.... but then... you guessed it where did THAT come from? And I like how William Lane Craig described the vacuum. He says that it is still a vibrant space filled with fluctuating quantum particles and energy that obeys laws etc.. But the universe did not pop into existence out of a vacuum. There wasnt even SPACE for the quantum particles to exist in.

@Holographys Arguments from ignorance, or hope of future knowledge are meaningless. We can only draw inferences and conclusions from what we DO know. Not what we could possibly maybe hope to know in the future ;)

[lifeandphilosophy]

@arktheball nothing :) The Borde, guth, vilenkin theorem shows that the multiverse came from nothing as well.

[arktheball]

so where did the multivese com from? I am confused!!!!

@Holographys

if one can not sympathize with the man's (a bit) far stretched theorizing,

one surely has to sympathize with the cerebral academic in company

of guys that take the refusal to drink as an offence ;-)

[Holographys]

As we do not have a unified field theory that resolves the contradictions between quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity at the very small scales (commonly touted "Quantum Gravity"), at least none physicists agree upon, how much credit can one give to statements like the one that the universe came out of "nothing" ?

[PLOCKMESH]

this fagcast is alright.

[adorianvlad]

well, I think Vilenkin explains that it is the other way around: islands of Universes in the archipelago that constitutes the Multiverse.
