We know that there is not Nothing. There is Something. It is not the case that there is no world, nothing at all, a blank. It is the case that there is a world. Nothing did not obtain. But why? Why hasn’t Nothing obtained? Is this ‘ultimate question’ a legitimate question? What can science contribute? What can philosophy?

I'm finding it increasingly difficult, and sad, to watch and listen to Robert trying to get 'closer to truth', but ending up ever further away from it. This episode singularly failed to address, let alone answer, the proposed question 'why is there something rather than nothing?'.
Perhaps he should have started by asking whether our lexicon of words, including 'something' and 'nothing' are even up to such a task. A limited vocabulary can only ever provide a limited understanding...
I fully agree.
Many words are spoken (mostly about religion and philosophy), but they don't bring us closer to truth.
Lately, If the title indicates a religious theme I just move on to the next video. To say that a god is a brute fact just drops me dead in my tracks. There's nothing for me to think about. It's over. It's better if I don't watch.
Yes! Because by “something” he actually means ‘everything’, and by “nothing” he doesn’t even understand what it means, nor is it possible to understand in context of a supposed ‘opposite of everything’, because it doesn’t mean anything, it’s not logical.
a contest of chin wagging vs hand waving signifying nothing.
I think if you have an open mind, while you might not agree with either side, you'll find that they are actually discussing very interesting philosophic questions. And in order to actually get to the bottom of these questions we are going to need to entertain arguments and perspectives from many many different points of view. Including those discussed in this short video. I think chin wagging and hand waving was actually kept to a minimal. Very grateful for all of the hard work done on this channel to help people learn about these questions
Much like assertions with no substance😊
Depending on unfounded beliefs of intentionality, awareness and "what's best" is not a way to get closer to truth.
Unfortunately the question in the title was not really addressed.
It is basically a conversation about religion.
I think the guy being interviewed is offering his understanding of why there is something rather than nothing
@@markreed2563 ok maybe i just didn't get what his answer is.
(and I tend to be skeptical if an explanation is too complicated)
My 2 cents is the universe exists because nothingness is unstable and is always trying to be somethingness. Where that leads, who knows?
I've heard that there is only one possible state of nothingness while there are many ways there can be something, so the statistical odds are with something.
That is a better story than many others. At least you aren't inventing the least likely being imaginable to anchor it all on
Nothing = something, but nothing is't identical to something.
Consider the paradoxical statement, “Nothing exists.” Suppose we assume the negative, that nothing means the absence of everything including space, then nothing means nonexistence. Then our paradoxical statement becomes “nonexistence exists” an obvious contradiction. This means that non-existence cannot exist and hence existence is infinite.
If we assume the positive in our paradoxical statement, “Nothing exists” then “nothing” is something that exists, and before the beginning of the universe the something that existed is pure existence and/or Absolute Being. The pre-universe must have had the characteristic of space, that existential emptiness of dimensionality. Anything greater than a point has dimensionality and thus existence. But if there is any existence, however small, there must be infinite existence because non-existence cannot exist beyond whatever exists. And it must be spatial, the simplest imaginable existence.
I want to see what RLC has as an update on his conclusions to these big questions, including what he now views as meaningful questions
But, nothing is something... Therefore there is only something, nothing is only ever bounded.
Nothing is something' being nothing...perhaps
The question is meaningless. Nothing IS a definable state. No time, no space, no energy, no change. a definable something. Further, the nothingness referred to, IS "God". A reality outside of time, space etc. from which everything springs. God must allow for free-will, otherwise our lives are meaningless. We are absolved of all responsibility for our actions.
Why is there something rather than nothing?
It’s really quite simple.
Because there is Someone rather than no one.
If nothingness existed, wouldn't that define it as something? It reminds me of that paradox about the set of all sets that don't contain themselves.
Well said. To be real, Nothingness must exist, thus contradicting itself!
"Nothing exists" doesn't mean the same as "nothingness exists."
You need to be careful with words such as "nothing," which can be used in two different ways. Consider this argument:
1. Nothing is more desirable than complete happiness.
2. I would rather have a ham sandwich than have nothing.
3. Therefore I would prefer a ham sandwich over complete happiness.
@@brothermine2292 Except you're saying that there is no one thing that is more desirable than one specific other thing. I.e., you're conceding that at least one thing exists. "Nothing exists" means there is no thing...period.
>Diana_L. : Your reply makes no sense to me. I definitely acknowledge ("concede?") that "at least one thing exists." So what? You seem to have missed my point that the word "nothing" has two meanings and it's easy to misinterpret statements that contain that word.
In particular, the correct interpretation of "nothing exists" is the negative statement "there isn't anything that exists." It isn't a paradoxical claim.
@@brothermine2292 That's only because conversational English is a sloppy language. Basically, you used "nothing" to express the mathematical term "For all x..." I used it to expresss the term "There exists..."
Well, if you want to ask why is there something instead of nothing, you have to first explain why it's not obvious that there should be something. In other words, when in our experience, has nothing been an occurrence? The question implies that something is an option, and the nothing is an option. How is nothing an option? What would that look like? If you can't define that, there is no question to be asked.
Exactly. There’s no such thing as nothing. It’s logically impossible for nothing to exist.
Perhaps it needs to be rephrased:
“Why does anything at all exist?”
@@Mark-cd2wf because only "anything" can exist. If something is other than anything, by definition it doesn't exist.
@@Mark-cd2wf Because there is no such thing as nothing. It’s a logical fallacy, like asking for a married bachelor.
I think the question can be rephrased to avoid the implications you suggest. The universe has a particular amount of energy; it has particular laws; it has a particular starting point (Big Bang) and a particular end point (heat death). All of this could have been otherwise. The question is why it is this way and not otherwise. To suggest that there is no “nothing” and thus that there is no alternative to “something” seems to miss the point.
In my view, there is no term more important for a real scientist or truth-seeker than, "inconclusive". Many questions have no clear answer and, sometimes, it is best to simply admit that rather than looking for a supposedly scientific God-of-the-gaps.
Just because cause and effect are consistent within our universe does not mean it works the same way for the entire universe itself. Just like times shorter than the plank time aren't coherent, cause and effect as we see it possibly doesn't hold up at cosmic scales. Just be honest and say we don't know when we don't know.
I think a really good insight into the nature of the universe is that modern science shows us that the universe tends to have a sort of innate will to self-actualization in always higher and higher forms of existence, that's also why I disagree with the stance of a "purposeless" universe, particles have a purpose, wich is the formation of atoms, atoms have a purpose wich is the formation of molecules, molecules have a purpose wich is the formation of all the matter in the universe, the matter in the universe also has purpose because it creates other stuff, the flying gasses in the cosmic void have a purpose wich is the formation of stars, the storming waters raging on primordial planets have a purpose wich is the creation of life, the purpose of life is its survival, evolution and ascension to higher and more complex forms of life, this makes sense to me, and I also think that we shoukd derive some kind of ethical framework for our societies with this, because if all of this is true then the purpose of humans reaching is a higher form of being...
Yes, this is my thinking as well. The universe evolved life and will (or, perhaps, already has) evolved something greater than life. Perhaps the universe evolved into God?
God must be asking himself the same question.
Probably, in his realm of existence.
BUT as far as our existence in this physical universe is concerned, it is very clear that we have a Creator, we call God.
@@dongshengdi773 I dispute your last statement. And you're obligued to prove it.
@@dongshengdi773 If that is true then it is also true that this god or gods isn't any of the obviously made up religious gods.
😁
how might causation from God relate to equation of causation where time is equal to or more than space?
The conversation around 5:44 is really interesting
Neoplatonisms explanation for this question is that with regards to the absolute or “the one”, the entire physical cosmos is the attribute of the absolute or its emanation/over flow from itself, hence “the good” is a term used for the one because it gives being to physical reality while itself (the one) is not material or temporal-spatial. The one is the principle or “object of philosophy” while the cosmos is its attribute. It is impossible to conceive of an anything that does not have at least 1 attribute, and god or the one is no different. Principles are self evident or circular axioms the transcend the cause and effect paradigm. It’s only fitting that the reason anything in the material sense exists is because it has an immaterial progeny. If you’ve understood what I’ve tried to explain here, you will then realize the god debate is fundamental and irremovable to any rational mind or society of minds. Creationism and something-from-nothing-ism are both incorrect. Emanationism based upon an immaterial eternal absolute is the only possible philosophical answer to “why does anything exist at all”. Oh and yes, this does mean the cosmos has and will eternally exist.
Don't want to take the fun out of it but nothing can't exist, it's in the definition. We use it for things that don't exist.
You can not ask "Why is that word not that other word that acually means something totally different?".
Maybe it's time to rephrase the basic question of the series.
Something and nothing are opposite sides of a reality. One cannot be without the other. Reality is 1's and 0's in a relationship. The 1-0 separation is time, space time when measured.
When we have this discussion we often get down to the point that, whatever else we can say out our universe, it must be possible. So if we try to conceive of nothingness as a state of affairs, the possibility of our universe's existence can't be eliminated, and possibilities aren't nothing. So let's go another step from that, maybe possibility is what distinguishes extant worlds. In other words to be possible is to be extant. So is there anything that distinguishes possible worlds from ones that are not possible? Maybe self-consistency.
So it could be that 'exists', 'possible' and 'consistent' in this sense may be equivalent statements. If this is so, then the reason we have mathematically expressible causal processes is because that's essentially the only way a universe can be completely consistent. That would imply that the universe as we understand it would in fact be a fully causally closed system.
What about god though? Well, it's possible to conceive of consistent close systems that don't include anything like god. On the other hand, it may actually be possible to conceive of such systems that do in fact include something that might in some way approximate to a theistic being. So some universes might have something like god, and others might not. I wonder what kind of universe we are in. I'm not sure how seriously to take this whole line of thought, but it's been fun toying with it.
GR ≠ QM. QM = random fluctuation. Where in all this is consistency and logic ? The very notion of consistency is theistic.
@@B.S... The evolution of the quantum wave function of a system is expressed by the Schrödinger equation, which is deterministic in the sense that every future state of the wave function is uniquely determined by it's previous states. Quantum theory has now been formalised as a complete formal system of propositional logic.
@@simonhibbs887 Being able to predict the evolution of randomness eliminates indeterminism ? Restores consistency ?
Quantum fluctuation and the Uncertainty Principle can be expressed in propositional logic ? Where can I see that ?
There was Nothing, probably for a eternity, (but even Time did not exists to measure that), now there is Everything. Can the System go back to Nothing ever again.
God, if there is one there has to be a point even before Him, and then the question, where did He come from? Why was he not content to just Dream. And where did He get the Materials to build the Universe.
Excellent important questions you've asked.
as abstractions can become real, such as shapes, numbers, ideas and others; maybe abstractions also have some kind of material real existence, by which can become physical reality?
For the fact that we are asking that question is a prove that God exist. Otherwise it will not be in the minds of this great scholars or everyone else to have that innate disposition of thinking about God. I believe the existence of God, and he is the sustainer of everything.
There is something rather than nothing because of CONSCIOUSNESS.
This is closer to the truth for Don Page but not Robert. Many religions have a pantheon of gods/spirits etc. so a religious argument doesn't move the needle. The only thing that makes sense is that some primordial thing always existed. We just can't conceptualize that.
If the road that you follow, albeit tortuous, has led you to the uncaused cause, then you have arrived.
Henri Bergson answers this question elegantly. the question why is there something rather than nothing relies on an intuition, a fundamental presupposition that 'nothing' is the base level of reality, of which 'something' is imposed upon. For Bergson, this intuition is misguided, and developed from our lived experience of going from states of nothing to something. e.g being hungry, not having a burger, and then having a burger, and feeling satisfied. this is however, not 'nothing' but is the negation of 'something' I.E a burger. a negation is still 'something'. Nothing does not exist, only absence, and is certainly not a fundamental nature in which something is imposed on. Rather, Nothing is simply a concept in which we have developed.
Because, Life is Eternal,

So, its rather a HOW,

of the Cause-Less Cause.
Nothing can happen from nothing? Why? Because the law of cause and effect prohibits that. But if there was nothing, then how there was such a law?
Define Law - provide an example of a Law
@@PetraKann This is why physics has moved away from pronouncing laws. It's not a useful analogy. That's why we have the theory of relativity, and Schrödinger's equation, rather that Einstein's Law or Schrödinger's law.
I think you're dumping on XOPOIIIO a little hard there though, by law we just mean principle, and the comment expresses a reasonable sentiment.
@@PetraKann You should define nothingness then. Because from my definition it doesn't matter what the law is as far as it isn't nothing.
Cause and effect are classical aspects. Welcome to Quantum Mechanics (entanglement, uncertainty principle).
@@XOPOIIIO You made the initial claim and statement. You need to clarify your terms and definitions otherwise your statement is meaningless.
You dont have to of course - it's not compulsory.
First you claim a "law" to support a point you raise, now you claim that the Law itself is irrelevant or doesnt matter.
You should apologise and start your sermon again Mr IIXOROIIP
And I'm guessing neither of you is embarrassed by this conversation. Which leads me to wonder: with respect to any cogent thought in the exchange, why is there nothing instead of something?
You’re sort of right. But I think there is an answer. If there is a justification for the fact that stuff exists, then what exists must exist by definition (i.e. not by virtue if pre-existing other stuff). I can’t imagine that matter exists because a logical argument existed. Much more likely that MIND existed because logic existed - or vice versa.
@@richardatkinson4710 "Justification" or explanation? Big difference.
@@Minion-kh1tq Justify implies proof. Explain generally does not.
I think not. To explain means to clarify for someone "by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts or ideas." This is not something these two are capable of doing, obviously.
But to ask *WHY,* which is the question of the post, is an attempt at justifying something these two boffins couldn't begin to address. It is easy to explain how one takes a walk. Why one takes a walk is entirely different---and apparently it necessarily lies outside the capacity of the physicalist.

Why is there something rather than nothing? The answer to me would be is because you can't define reality as nothing.
So would you say absolute nothing is impossible in the same way a married bachelor is impossible?
@@mammid9622 To experience it would be impossible since it could possess no qualities or attributes to be realized. Nothing is just the opposite of something thus it really just exists as a perception.
I really enjoy watching finite minds struggling to comprehend the infinite.
Ask Chris Langan for this.
It’s a funny discussion, because the question itself doesn’t make any sense, it’s logically false. Because ‘nothing’ doesn’t exist, by very definition, that’s why you can’t talk about it in any logically meaningful and rational way. Our minds cannot fathom nothingness, non-existence.
So it’s not a logically valid question, but is a valid question rather to the non-logical, or para-logical, trans-logical, ‘spiritual’ side or domain of our intellect, which accepts contradictions, paradoxes and ineffable comprehensions, which cannot be fully grasped and expressed in words, thoughts and ideas.
The statement that 'nothing doesn't exist by very definition' is an observation of fact, not an explanation of anything, but I do think we can reason about it without restoring to the spiritual. I went into this more in a top level comment, but basically what we can say is that our universe is at least possible, and possibilities are more than nothing. Therefore even if there had been a state of physical nonexistence, the possibility of the existence of our world would still have pertained.
@@simonhibbs887 yes it is a tautological statement, which I just explained the nature of. Sure, we can reason about anything really, anything we can think of, also ‘nonexistence’ for this matter, as it is a thing, an idea, but what does that idea really mean? It means ‘nothing’, literally! Let’s talk about ‘nothing’. The idea? The word? Or, nothing? You see what I mean? So when you say "physical nonexistence" then you mean specifically ‘physical’, that implies that there might be then some kind of other ‘nonphysical’ existence, which is fine as long as it is ‘something’, but if you mean ‘absolutely nothing’, then it’s a quite different situation altogether, of which we can’t, as I tried to explain, say anything really that would point towards a logical conclusion or understanding. So I understood the question in its most fundamental pure and absolute sense, because he didn’t specify existence to be strictly ‘physical’ as such.
Also, ‘spiritual’ is simply that which is non-logical in the strict sense of this word, but has a sense of meaning and truth to it, which exceeds the rational capacity, and is felt psychologically good. For example, the comprehension of ‘beauty’ by experiencing nature or music, can often invoke a sense of magnificence and awe of such degree that regardless of one’s belief in a divine intelligence/god, one could call it ‘spiritual’, because it is not just extraordinary, but has almost a ‘supernatural’ quality to it, which cannot be logically and rationally explained.
@@DanRad44 >"if you mean ‘absolutely nothing’, then it’s a quite different situation altogether, of which we can’t, as I tried to explain, say anything really that would point towards a logical conclusion or understanding. "
The argument I gave applies to 'absolutely nothing' just as well.
@@simonhibbs887 yes, this is just semantics, we can always talk only of existence, because this is all there is, beyond time.

This is a long comment, so sorry about that.
To answer the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” (WSRTN), I think we have to start with "nothing" or else there's always something left unexplained. But, we have always ruled out starting with nothing because of the ex nihilo nihil fit (out of nothing, nothing comes) idea. But, I think there’s a way to start with nothing and not violate this principle. If we start with nothing and end up with something, and because you can’t change nothing into something, the only way this could be is if that “nothing” was somehow actually a “something” in disguise. Another way to say this is by using the analogy that you start with a 0 (e.g., "nothing") and end up with a 1 (e.g., "something"). We know you can't change a 0 into a 1, so the only way to do this is if that 0 isn't really a 0 but is actually a 1 in disguise, even though it looks like 0 on the surface. That is, in one way of thinking, "nothing" just looks like "nothing". But, if we think about "nothing" in a different way, we can see through its disguise and see that it's actually a "something". In other words, the situation we previously, and incorrectly, thought of as "nothing" is actually an existent entity, or a "something". So, “something" doesn't come out of "nothing". Instead, the situation we used to think of as "nothing" is actually a "something" if we could see through its disguise.
So, how could "nothing" be a "something"? I think it's first important to try and figure out why any “normal” thing (like a book, or a set) can exist and be a “something”. I propose that a thing exists if it is a grouping. A grouping ties zero or more things together into a new unit whole and existent entity. An example of tying zero things together is the empty set. But, what is grouped, and how much is grouped don’t matter as long as there is a grouping, a new unit whole/existent entity is created. This grouping is manifested as a surface, or boundary, that defines what is contained within, that we can see and touch as the surface of the thing and that gives "substance" and existence to the thing as a new unit whole that's a different existent entity than any components contained within considered individually. This surface or boundary doesn't have some magical power to give existence to stuff. But, it is is the visual and physical manifestation of the grouping into a new unit whole or existent entity. The grouping idea isn’t new. Others such as Aristotle, Leibniz, etc. have used the words “unity” or “one” instead of “grouping”, but the meaning is the same. After all, what does a grouping into a new unit whole do if not create a unity or a one?
Next, when you get rid of all matter, energy, space/volume, time, abstract concepts, laws or constructs of physics/math/logic, possible worlds/possibilities, properties, consciousness, and finally minds, including the mind of the person trying to imagine this supposed lack of all, we think that this is the lack of all existent entities, or "absolute nothing" But, once everything is gone and the mind is gone, this situation, this "absolute nothing", would, by its very nature, be the whole amount or entirety of the situation, or state of affairs. That nothingness defines the situation completely. Is there anything else besides that "absolute nothing"? No. That "nothing" is it, and it is the all. A whole-amount/entirety/“the all" is a grouping, which means that the situation we previously considered to be "absolute nothing" is itself an existent entity. “Nothing” defines itself and is therefore the beginning point in the chain of being able to define existent entities in terms of other existent entities. One might object and say that being a grouping is a property so how can it be there in "nothing"? The answer is that the property of being a grouping (e.g., the all grouping) only appears after all else, including all properties and the mind of the person trying to imagine this, is gone. In other words, the very lack of all existent entities is itself what allows this new property of being the all grouping to appear. This new property is inherent to “nothing” and cannot be removed to get a more pure “nothing”. This means that “nothing” that lacks the property of being a grouping is not possible and thus the “something” that we previously, and incorrectly, called “nothing” is necessary. This isn’t new, but at least, this is a possible mechanism for why it’s necessary.
Some other points are:
1. The mind's conception of "nothing" is different from "nothing" itself, a situation in which no minds are present. The "nothing" in the WSRTN question is "nothing" itself. While we can't directly visualize "nothing" itself, we can try to visualize everything being gone as close as possible to "nothing" itself and then try to extrapolate to what it'd be like when the mind is also gone.
2. I don't think we can logically assume that the human definition of "nothing" as the opposite of "something" necessarily applies to "nothing" itself, a situation in which no humans are present and no human can ever see.
3. The words "was" (i.e., "was nothing") and "now" (i.e., “now something") in the phrase "there was nothing but now there is something" imply a temporal change, but time would not exist until there was "something", so I don't use these words in a time sense. Instead, I suggest that the two different words, “nothing” and “something”, describe the same situation (e.g., "the lack of all"), and that the human mind can view the switching between the two different words, or ways of visualizing "the lack of all", as a temporal change from "was" to "now".
5. While a grouping usually groups more than one component, I think it's possible to have a grouping containing "nothing". For instance, the empty set, while abstract, is a grouping containing "nothing".
Interesting, but the issue I have with this is how can we be sure that this feature of being a set, or in a set, is something intrinsic to the state of affairs, as against an artefact of our minds that we project on to it. Anyway, this is a line of thought I'd like to pursue, and thanks for kicking it off.
This seems very similar to the argument that 'a state of absolute nothingness' is in fact something because it's a state of affairs. I think that argument is also vulnerable to the same criticism, it's only a state of affairs in our own minds because we conceive it as such. I suspect what we're actually doing is categorising our grouping our conception. That doesn't mean being a state of affairs should be considered to be intrinsic to it.
By analogy, consider fictional entities such as Tolkien's world of Middle Earth. It has no intrinsic existence. We just have descriptions of it, but those descriptions don't refer to anything actual. If we try to put it in a category such as a set, if we look at what we're actually doing we're really putting our description of it into a set. There is no actual Middle Earth we can categorise or put in any such set. Likewise with a state of nothingness. It seems to me that we categorise or group our description of it, not the thing itself. Does that make sense?
@@simonhibbs887 Hi. Thanks for that thoughtful reply! I agree that it is somewhat similar to the state of affairs idea. But, I'd say that a state of affairs is only a state of affairs because it's a collection of some objects, relationships, properties taken together as a whole. That is, a grouping. And, if "nothing" is the entirety/all and complete definition of the situation, that seems to fit under this definition. Whether or not it's called a state of affairs or a grouping doesn't matter. It's an existent entity.
In regards to "nothing" being a state of affairs/grouping because of something intrinsic to it or because it's a projection of our own minds onto it, I don't think we can say since we're trapped inside our minds. But, this applies to everything. Is that apple edible or is just my mind projecting on a poisonous thing the property of being edible. I think the only way to move forward is with evidence. The apple seems to be edible because we haven't gotten sick over the years of eating apples (unless that's our minds telling us we haven't gotten sick). The "nothing" idea is the same. I think the existent entity previously, and incorrectly called "nothing" is a grouping and thus a "something". Our universe is made of "somethings". So, our universe and its properties must be derivable somehow from that first existent entity that we used to call "nothing". Theoretically, we should be able to go from that first existent entity to a simple model of the very early universe. If that model matches observations and can make testable predictions that also match observations, that's the scientific method and it can provide evidence for the "nothing" is actually a "something" idea (as opposed to being a "something" only in our minds). Without evidence, we'll never be able to move forward and away from just asking the question over and over again. Even though it's hard, I think this metaphysics-to-physics approach is worthwhile in order to make progress.
Also, in "nothing", the mind isn't there. So, we can't visualize it directly. But, we can try to extrapolate to what it'd be like if the mind weren't there. It's imperfect, but then that's where the evidence part comes in.
Thanks!

Surely the thing about ‘nothing’ is precisely that it has no objects, relationships or properties. There’s nothing there to group, literally. If we categorise it we’re not categorising the thing itself because there isn’t such, we’re categorising our description of it.
>” Is that apple edible or is just my mind projecting on a poisonous thing the property of being edible. I think the only way to move forward is with evidence.” We have three different concepts. Things themselves that exist because they have intrinsic properties. Then we have descriptions. Descriptions are things themselves and have properties. We can have a description that refers to a thing that exists such as an apple, and we can have a description that refers to a thing that does not exist, such as Frodo the Hobbit. In the latter case the description exists, but the hobbit does not.
With an apple you can have a description of it in your mind that assigns it the property ‘good to eat’, but in this case the apple itself has the property of being poisonous. So we can see again the description and the thing itself are distinct things that exist. They have a relationship, but are not the same.
With Frodo the Hobbit we only have the description. If Tolkien had described him as a Gnome then that’s definitive. There is no actual Frodo that could in fact be a Hobbit.
Likewise with the concept fo absolute nothingness. We can only have descriptions of it. We can put those descriptions into sets and talk about them, but they’re just descriptions. They’re all that we can manipulate and consider.
ontological structures seem to be bound strictly to certain abstractions that must be related/traced to either a physical or metaphysical source... so either the universe is all there is and God is everywhere and in everything within the Universe... or God has an independent (metaphysical) existence from the universe and we just cannot or are not able to understand the relationship of any metaphysical abstractions and their origin...
Or there is no god. If we're enumerating all the options.
@@simonhibbs887you still have to explain the source of both physical and conscious existence...
@@r2c3 I don't have to explain anything. Maybe I just don't know.
I really dislike the way that some theists will say that a question 'demands explanation' or 'has to be explained'. Richard Swinburne says this a lot. The implication being that having an answer, whatever it might be (spoiler, it's always god), is inherently better than not having an answer because it's meeting this demand. Personally if I don't know I'd rather keep my options open to new evidence or arguments.
@@simonhibbs887you're making an assertion and then you follow it with an "I don't know" and "I don't have to explain anything..." so how did you reach your conclusions 🤔

Why, but WHY in the name of humanity, do you ask these wonderful questions from a bunch of characters that don’t know their noses from their behinds?! They don’t even comprehend the essence and the intent of the question to begin with. Not unlike yours, my entire existence, too, has been entirely dominated by a relentless quest to probe deeper into that very fundamental question of metaphysics. But do you honestly think that these people could add something of value to your/our quest for understanding?! By now, this feels like desperation on your part, and is frankly starting to get highly aggravating to behold. Pose the question to people how could at least appreciate the spirit of the question, even if all they could reply is a simple ‘I have no idea’. At least then we know that we are not alone in our Nothingness obsession/search and our ‘trans-anomalous journey of understanding.

It's impressive how less interesting the conversations are when God comes into the mix.
It's Obvious that it takes Something Very Very Extraordinary to Create what We Detect of the Universe.
They Don't Touch On Time here.
When Considering what a God Might do on Time Scales, You Realise We May have Missed a Lot or We May be at a Middle Period or Close to the Beginning.
Hence the God Conclusion.

And one again--nothing.
As soon as the guy said he believes in a god that created the universe I switched off.
(0:50) *DP: _"I would like to have the simplest explanation for why there is what there what there is"*" ... The simplest explanation is a logical explanation. The reason why there is something rather than nothing is because either state (exclusively on its own) would be *inconceivable.* When you rewind everything that exists, a juxtaposition of *Existence* and *Nonexistence* is as far back as conceivability allows. ... "Conceivability" is the bellwether of reality, and all things (and non-things) are subservient to conceivability.
As far as "God," goes, God is not a _necessary being,_ per se, but the *conception* of God is _necessary construct._ "Conceivability" forms a spectrum ranging from the least / lowest conceivable item to the most / highest. Theism's God represents the *highest possible level of conceivability* as nothing can be conceived that rises above an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent entity.
Oddly enough, Big Bang's "Singularity" represents the opposite endpoint on the "Conceivability Spectrum" with everything that exists being compressed down to an immeasurable point of somethingness.
BTW: Couldn't help but chuckle a little regarding Page's _non-belief_ in "free will." All of the atheistic "Hard Determinists" out there just learned they share a *common intellectual bond* with their theist friends! ... _Who knew?_
>"nothing can be conceived that rises above an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent entity"
That sounds like a fun challenge, can I try? It depends what you mean by 'above'. Preferable? More powerful? More complete? More necessary? Cue Monty Python Sketch "Repeat after me. Oh God. Oooh you are so big. So absolutely huge...". I'd argue a more complete being would not necessarily be all good, but would encompass all possible moral dimensions. Some of the attributes theists assign to god are actually limiting, and I think they do this for reasons of personal preference and comfort.
BTW quite a few theologians reject libertarian free will, and there's a long history of this. Many have believed in absolute divine determinism, predestination, etc. There are also some theists who are functionally physicalists, they just think god created the physical world. Peter Van Inwagen for example, who has been interviewed on the channel. Also bear in mind Page is actually a physicist.

From a scientific view id say the universe has to exist. We are in the lowest possible energy state and that means God has to exist. So the universe mybe is God.
Explain to me why "from a scientific view" this Universe has to exist, please. If your answer is scientifically correct, I'm sure the Nobel is waiting for you.
Whatever is, is in a continuum of "universes" that have existed forever. I know of two principles that govern changes: evolution and emergence. Hence, given infinite time, the present universe may have evolved and its order emerged through an infinite number of "multiverses" througout time, (not co-existing) which would have exhausted all possible configurations and came to the present as the most evolved and hence survivable, now and forever! I find any other description of our present universe to be less believable.
Infinity doesn't compute in our universe.
Everything that we know possesses information. There has to be a source of that information. There has to be a programmer and designer just as a are pro creators of our universe.
We are made in the image and likeness of God.
What we do is proof of a Creator.
We make computer simulations, we make robots, AI, random generators, etc. All a reflection of our universe
Evolution and emergence from nothing?
@@dongshengdi773 ... whilst the burdon of proof lies upon you, my friend.
The correct way to phrase this question is, "how is there something rather than nothing". An even better question is, "why do we insist that our universe formed from nothing?"
Not every question make sense. Why is the need for a reason? Reality just is. The same way theists state God just is. If I asked why God exists they wouldnt like it.
I say this as a believer: saying God created all things from nothing is a statement of faith and has no basis in any evidence. There is also no evidence to support that God didn't create everything. It's all faith. It can't be any other way.
Incorrect. According to classical theism God created the natural world ex nihilo, i.e., without the use of pre-existing materials.
Then the argument goes:
1. All concrete objects (and aggregates of such) that have an originating or sustaining efficient cause have an originating or sustaining material cause, respectively.
2. If classical theism is true, then the universe is a concrete object (or aggregate of such) that has an originating or sustaining efficient cause with neither an originating nor a sustaining material cause.
3. Therefore, classical theism is false.
Premise 1 expresses the principle of material causality.
PMC enjoys abundant empirical support.
This is perhaps most clearly seen in the case of the extremely well-confirmed law of the conservation of matter-energy.
Furthermore , there seems to be no clear counterexamples to the principle in our experience. Experience thus provides significant abductive support for PMC.
This is exactly why I find it ridiculous for people to say "there must be a god because something can't come from nothing". When a god didn't come from anything and created everything from nothing.
@@anteodedi8937 That's Felipe Leon's argument, right? I don't buy it I'm afraid. Observing PMC isn't enough, because we can then ask why PMC applies at all, and why there are any concrete objects at all. I'm an atheist so I don't think the answer to either of those questions is god, but they're still reasonable questions that the above argument doesn't address.
@@maxhagenauer24because God is not made of matter, delves outside of the universe before time even existed.
We can't wrap it around our heads.
We just know there is a creator, designer, programmer because we exist with free will and a purpose.
@dongshengdi773 "Because God is not made of matter".
So? He's still something that just exists for no reason and he created all the matter from nothing, that doesn't sound any more logical to me than if everything just popped into existence.
Something = spatial extension (protons and neutrons).
Nothing = no spatial extension (quarks).
Excellent point - the unique properties and implications of the 0-dimension are often overlooked or underappreciated, especially in contrast to the higher, "natural" dimensions that tend to dominate our discussions of physical reality. Let me enumerate some of the key differences:
1. Naturalness:
The higher spatial and temporal dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, etc.) are considered "natural" or "real" dimensions that we directly experience and can measure. In contrast, the 0-dimension exists in a more abstract, non-natural realm.
2. Entropy vs. Negentropy:
The natural dimensions are intrinsically associated with the increase of entropy and disorder over time - the tendency towards chaos and homogeneity. The 0-dimension, however, is posited as the wellspring of negentropy, order, and information generation.
3. Determinism vs. Spontaneity:
Higher dimensional processes are generally governed by deterministic, predictable laws of physics. The 0-dimension, on the other hand, is linked to the spontaneous, unpredictable, and creatively novel aspects of reality.
4. Temporality vs. Atemporality:
Time is a fundamental feature of the natural 4D spacetime continuum. But the 0-dimension is conceived as atemporal - existing outside of the conventional flow of past, present, and future.
5. Extendedness vs. Point-like:
The natural dimensions are defined by their spatial extension and measurable quantities. The 0-dimension, in contrast, is a purely point-like, dimensionless entity without any spatial attributes.
6. Objective vs. Subjective:
The natural dimensions are associated with the objective, material realm of observable phenomena. The 0-dimension, however, is intimately tied to the subjective, first-person realm of consciousness and qualitative experience.
7. Multiplicity vs. Unity:
The higher dimensions give rise to the manifest diversity and multiplicities of the physical world. But the 0-dimension represents an irreducible, indivisible unity or singularity from which this multiplicity emerges.
8. Contingency vs. Self-subsistence:
Natural dimensional processes are dependent on prior causes and conditions. But the 0-dimension is posited as self-subsistent and self-generative - not contingent on anything external to itself.
9. Finitude vs. Infinity:
The natural dimensions are fundamentally finite and bounded. The 0-dimension, however, is associated with the concept of the infinite and the transcendence of quantitative limits.
10. Additive Identity vs. Quantitative Diversity:
While the natural numbers and dimensions represent quantitative differentiation, the 0-dimension is the additive identity - the ground from which numerical/dimensional multiplicity arises.
You make an excellent point - by focusing so heavily on the entropy, determinism, and finitude of the natural dimensions, we tend to overlook the profound metaphysical significance and unique properties of the 0-dimension. Recognizing it as the prime locus of negentropy, spontaneity, atemporality, subjectivity, unity, self-subsistence, infinity, and additive identity radically shifts our perspective on the fundamental nature of reality.
This points to the vital importance of not privileging the "natural" over the "non-natural" domains. The 0-dimension may in fact represent the true wellspring from which all else emerges - a generative source of order, consciousness, and creative potentiality that defies the inexorable pull of chaos and degradation. Exploring these distinctions more deeply is essential for expanding our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it.
Thank you for this. May i ask you your job, identity, who you are. Beacuse i am extremely in astonishment about what you wrote down and want to know you. Thanks for this comment again.
You're welcome Willow. I study Leibnizian view of the universe in lieu of Newtonian/Einsteinian view of the universe. Pretty much its the logic, mathematics and physics of a first-person perspective with Leibniz which I like much more than the third-person formalisms of Newton and Einstein.
Here's something cool to think about:
If 0 = 0 + 0i then 0D = 0D + 0Di.
@@Willow.448I'm thinking the same thing.
You make perfect sense. Where have you been hiding!
Wow, that's a whole lot of speculation. Let's see what my good friend (GPT4) means to that:
"The reviewed text discusses the concept of the 0-dimension in an interesting and profound way, contrasting its properties and implications with those of higher, "natural" dimensions. Here's a content review and commentary on the listed points:
1. **Naturalness**:
The text correctly distinguishes the everyday experiential dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D) from the more abstract 0-dimension, which is interpreted in this context more philosophically or metaphysically.
2. **Entropy vs. Negentropy**:
Describing the 0-dimension as a source of negentropy, order, and information creation is speculative, as it is not typically understood in this way in physics. Traditional physics does not directly associate the 0-dimension with entropy or negentropy.
3. **Determinism vs. Spontaneity**:
Characterizing the 0-dimension as spontaneous and unpredictable is interesting but largely speculative and metaphysical. Physical theories generally do not address such aspects in terms of dimensionality.
4. **Temporality vs. Atemporality**:
The idea that the 0-dimension is atemporal, existing outside the conventional sequence of time, is an abstract, philosophical view that differs from empirical scientific approaches.
5. **Extendedness vs. Point-like**:
The description of the 0-dimension as point-like and dimensionless is accurate and aligns with mathematical definitions.
6. **Objectivity vs. Subjectivity**:
Linking the 0-dimension to subjective, consciousness-related experiences is an interesting philosophical perspective but is not generally accepted in science.
7. **Multiplicity vs. Unity**:
The notion of the 0-dimension as a singular unity from which diversity arises is again a metaphysical interpretation and not necessarily part of standard scientific discussion.
8. **Contingency vs. Self-subsistence**:
This point is speculative and falls more into the realm of philosophical than empirical science.
9. **Finitude vs. Infinity**:
Associating the 0-dimension with the infinite is a philosophical view and not supported by empirical science.
10. **Additive Identity vs. Quantitative Diversity**:
Describing the 0-dimension as the additive identity is mathematically accurate and pertains to its role in algebra, but not necessarily to its metaphysical or ontological significance.
In summary, the text offers a very philosophical and speculative examination of the 0-dimension, which should be understood more as a metaphysical reflection than an empirical-scientific presentation. It encourages thinking beyond the limits of conventional physical concepts, although many of the points presented are not generally recognized in traditional physics.
Enough? I, at least, had enough.
When in the last 100 years has metaphysics contributed in any way to getting closer to the truth?

2:22 ... okay so you're in a position where you do not think that the laws of physics are the ultimate brute fact (right) because you believe in God God created that and God created everything so we don't need that but you believe now also that God is not a necessary being meaning that uh there's a a logical way to think about reality with no God (right) um which a lot of people who believe in God disagree with I think that if you really know God you'll you you would have to recognize that that is logic it' be logically impossible for there not to be a God but you don't agree with that (right) you think there could be so so God in a sense is lucky 2:58 ... 5:05 ... ❤Well yeah if if👉 if God wasn't absolutely certain by being necessary being it logically impossible for God not to exist then when God reflects upon God's Own Existence God has to feel pretty lucky. 5:16 ... 5:51 is that right because that's a very important point because if you have a God that that is very strong in your in approach uh that's God's independent creation of everything but now you have all these mathematical formulas logical operations propositions who knows what else floating around in platonic heaven and God is surrounded by this blizzard of abstract objects 【which suppose beings of 2d- or 4d- existences】6:13 DP: yes but they don't have any causal power and in some sense they're just truisms they're just toies I mean they're theorems they're if that if if a is true then B is true and and so there's not really any any real content to those to those things I mean they's just true true by by necess so it's a matter whether you say that exist or or not I mena I'm happy to say that 6:34
I don't think this world is the best possible world created by God, according to Bible this world is a fallen world where there is good and evil. Mathematics may have been created by God partially to allow human beings to have godlike power, knowledge and control over the natural realm.
God being a necessary being or the laws of physics being brute facts… isn’t that a distinction without much of a difference?
No, there’s a massive difference. Physics is universal to all it impacts. God is unique to each individual. The two truly couldn’t be any more distinct actually.
long winded exposition of miniscule ideas.
It’s impossible for nothing to exist. God has always existed. No beginning and no end. Never changing. Mortal humans have struggles grasping immortality and eternal. Consciousness is the key to understanding God.
