Irony of borrowing from nothingness concept
I wonder if we will ever understand how you go about making a universe - how to split nothingness into positive and negative charges. In one sense
you apparently don't need anything, it just happens. Maybe you could use a giant electrophorus. ha
"To understand how something can come out of nothing, he writes, you have to appreciate the fact that "there probably isn't anything here anyway" --
that "at a deep level there is nothing" in the universe, really. "The substrate of existence," he argues, "is nothing at all."

tricky concept hum?
if you wait long enough ,things that normaly dont happen in the physical world will happen.
long enough being trillions of trillions of years ,much longer than the life of the universe.
99% of any atom is mostly empty space.
that space is space its something called space its not nothingness.
it has a certain level of potential energy in a balanced state.
the balance could tilt either way (positive or negative energy) and in fact it does it all the time , the average of all this positive and negative
energy is most of the time equal to zero...but wait long enough and things start to happen .
Particules seems to pop up out of it or...whole universes
the quantum foam is too small to be seen but its effect can be felt in laboratory.

Interesting stuff.
There's actually a theory (it might be outdated) that black holes radiate positive gravity particles which appear from.... nothingness.
Actually, I don't think the universe is "nothingness". In fact, I'd argue that the universe is (or once was) pure energy. You could argue that the big
bang was just a colossal conversion of massive amounts of energy to matter.
I like armchair speculation on this subject, because it involves things that are beyond our understanding. I think that if there is perfect symmetry
in this universe, we would have to find "negative energy". Since everythig with mass has energy, we would either have to find negative mass or
negative energy to prove that the universe came from nothing, and is perfectly symmetric.

back in the golden age of black holes (70's and 80's) it was speculated that black holes evaporate over time by radiating real particules from the
vacuum...is a gamma ray of energy >1.02Mev passes by a black hole just at the event horizon, and materialises in a pair of electron/positron one
could be free if the other was captured by the black hole.
hence the radiation of real particule from pure energy.
the universe is NOT nothingness it arises FROM nothingness ,
i like these armchair speculation as well ....
one thing that wakes me up at night (besides the bills and my wife) is the fact that this very universe we live in could very well be the last edition
of a non working concept and many many trials of failled universes could indeed came to be on a scale of time beyond comprehension...this universe and
reality could be just one that works for intelligent life to wonder and think about it .

That's my point, if the universe arose from nothingness, it would mean that it has perfect symmetry, that is, all the mass and all the energy in this
universe adds up to zero, meaning there is either negative mass or negative energy somewhere out there and we haven't found it yet. This, of course
would rely on E=mc2 being completely and unquestionably correct, even at the instant of a big bang or in the presence of black holes and what not.

do you remember the anti matter problem?
it was true the first few milliseconds of the universe life but somehow 1 in a billion particule of matter versus anti matter was in exes , resulting
in what we can see today. everything came from that 1 in a billion particule that survived the original anihilation.
why? i am not smart enough to answer that but it did happen.
so what now? is E=MC2 not true?
no it is still valid for what we can see and experiment with today but somehow 1 particule out of 10e9 survived....

AFAIK the theory that black holes radiate (so called hawking radiation) is still thought to be correct.
What puzzles me is how conservation of energy is preserved by black holes.
You gain energy when mass falls into the black holes gravity field. Eventually it dissapears into the black hole, but its mass is converted into
radiation (=more energy).
Where is any work being performed in this process?

Since we are on an armchair basis here I have no shame in stating that there is no such thing as matter, all matter appears to be is a bending of
electromagnetic radiation by energy to give the appearance of a solid object of a specific color. It has already been proven that matter and energy
are interchangeable, I argue that it is energy in the form of a standing wave that causes it to push other standing waves(other matter) away from
itself causing the illusion of it being a solid object.
My hypothesis goes much deeper then this but its a rough outline on how I view matter. I have done much research into standing waves and I have
noticed groups of them moving though water and acting as if it where a solid object. If those waves where to small for me to see I would no doubt feel
that the cluster was nothing more then a solid object.

There is no such things as a 'solid object'.
At the smallest level, particles have no dimensions or color.
The fact that we experience something as solid at the human scale is because electromagnetic interactions generate a force. If you push your finger
against the wall, what you feel pushing back are the electrons in the wall exchanging (virtual) photons with the electrons in the tip your finger.
Consider a 'collision' of elementary particles, for instance in a accelerator. What I imagine really happens is that the speeding particles exchange
photons/gluons/Z-bosons etc, and these mediate a force between the two, altering their trajectory, or even generating new particles if the interaction
is energetic enough. It is called a 'collision', but the process is quite different from what you might picture as a such at the human scale.

Have you read "The Holographic Universe"?, by Talbot I think.
It was a great read. I love speculation on this subject a well. There are many good programs that I have seen recently on the science channels. Some
stuff will really blow your mind. A lot of really good science (and some bad). The book talked a lot about interference patterns, and how the
holographic model explained many of the unexplainables in physics. I definitely recommend it. Even if it is not meant to be taken "seriously," it is
still great at stretching the bounds of your logic and helping see things from a different perspective.

While this podcast doesn't provide any answer to the question of how it all began, it does a good job of hinting about the nature of how "it" works.
The actual start of the program begins around the 2:30 minute mark if you want to skip the chaff. At first you will probably be skeptical, but as you
listen to the analogies with air and Joseph Priestley, light and eyes, and such you might get a glimmer of perceiving the universe in a new way. One
of the speakers remarks that the idea presented in the book is kind of creepy. And to me too, it's kind of eerie to look at what might really be going
on and what is to come. If you can just hang in there, the latter part of the talk will be worth the listen I think.
I promise you won't lose your mind, there's some stairstepping but I didn't hear anything along the lines of my feeble attempt of satirizing
"borrowing from nothingness" or all adding up to zero as in the article I first posted/linked.
Recall the article...
"To understand how something can come out of nothing, he writes, you have to appreciate the fact that "there probably isn't anything here anyway" --
that "at a deep level there is nothing" in the universe, really."
Anyway, this talk explores a different aspect, and might provide some clues.

Why do you assume that the universe began with nothingness? Also remember that there is a relationship between mass, space, and gravity. The phenomena
of space arrises from mass. The phenomena of mass arrises from the potential energy of gravitational force. "Space" is a very long wavelength
type of energy, so long that the flux is imperceptible. The "vacuum" energy (responsible for radioactive decay) is more of a rogue wave
phenomena. In the absence of space, matter would move infinitely fast, simultaneously occupying an entire linear path, which is the same effect that
would be observed if the matter was without mass. Neutrinos have a much lower cross section interaction, so it is possible to exceed the speed of
light because there is less coupling with the vacuum energy. The coupling between light and vacuum energy is analogous to the coupling between a
photon of light inside a transparent dielectric medium. (Photons are, in fact, statistically transiently absorbed into their medium, but they are
reradiated in synchrony due to interference phenomena, rather than scattered)
The original reason for discounting the theory of the "aether" as a medium for the propagation of light did itself become obsolete after the theory of
relativity, but theorists never went back to reexamine their justification for the non-existence of aether. In other words, it is a logical fallacy
to infer that the Michelson–Morley experiment disproves the theory of aether while at the same time accepting the theory of relativity. The "aether"
itself is electromagnetic radiation subject to relativity, so any possible confirmation of the Michelson–Morley experiment would be contradictory to
the theory of relativity.
As for the nature of the universe, the only thing that can be said is that everything that "exists" is only relative to everything else that
exists. It is illogical to claim any inherent property for anything outside of this.

i am a simple man with a simple mind ...you lost me there !
however
Neutrinos DO have a mass indeed o.o7 ev ! small ! granted, and a very discrete cross section but absolutly no potential for traveling over the speed
of light at all!
did you mean tachions? theorytical particules invented to account for observation on entanglement.
please explain the vacuum energy and radioactive decay?

I don't think there's an explantion, for neither proposition seems to make any sense. 13 billion years ago and then here we are, incubated from stars,
all the horror and wonder and on some level not a clue to where these forces are headed. In the podcast it was brought up how the eye evolves without
any direction or intelligent design, and yet some powerful force drives it to happen. There's a kind of intelligence in matter that likes to mimic
itself, to parrot the sounds it hears, to playback the images of itself.
I was watching an episode of The Power of Myth where Joseph Campbell talks about the earth as an embryo and people becoming it's eyes to see itself.
And when asked about a purpose he says there is no purpose to life.
This article kind of plays into the closing theme of the podcast of What Technology Wants and where the author assumes we are headed, the podcast
suggesting higher artificial life forms may come to solve the riddle but we, never to comprehend.

talking about time without space is irrelevant, talking about space without time is irrelevant as well...
time and space are one aspect of reality. it can be stretched and compress at will , but i still struggle to understand where does radioactivity fits
in all of this .....
protons are the longest living particules known but yet they too have a half life of several trillion years...so what is matter ?
wait i am getting off course.
time matter and space were created at the big bang thats a known fact, but from what ? nothing ?
possibly ,
the M theory ( M or brane for menbrane) put a recycling universe that keeps bouncing on itself ,and everytime it does ,a new big bang appear...again
thats just a theory but very seductive i may say ...
it does beg the question...
where and when the hell does it all begin????
