If all that exists-everything imaginable, physical and nonphysical-is ‘something’. Why is there ‘something’ rather than ‘nothing’? Wouldn’t ‘nothing’ be simpler than any sort of ‘something’? It’s a haunting wonderment. It’s the biggest possible question. Why is there anything at all? There must be an answer. But who can know it?

Quantum theory uncertainty principle assumes existence of space time as well as vacuum energy to “create particles”, I believe. Therefore it doesn’t create particles from nothing. Also it begs the question of how quantum laws came to be?

We think in terms of time, and in terms of cause and effect. We can not even conceive of what is outside time, and not dependent on cause and effect. Is there such? Undoubtably there is, since time and cause and effect to do not allow us to explain the universe, yet it is here.

When you exist within a wider structure, that contains a wealth of complexity and shaped the very parameters that caused your biological existence. And sits clearly within a much grander cosmic context of which it's potential is undeniably unknown to us. Surely asking how the environment came to exist comes first because it gave rise to the creatures that developed the consciousness.

@@arthurwieczorek4894 In our reasoning on this question we must take care to not lean on conceptualizations that are themselves artefacts of any possible reality. Examples of such might be time, space, matter, energy, physics, mind, God, perhaps even mathematics itself extending to concepts like sequence, state, logic and the truth values of True and False. Time for example is implicit in so much of our language in the form of tense or state. Is it possible to think in terms of reality-agnostic abstractions? Is there any practical meaning outside of what Willem posits as a “narrative” or “framework” of ideas from which possibilities can “bubble” out of? To even contemplate the idea of “Nothing” in its most absolute and complete extreme, is perhaps to immediately invalidate all reasoning on the very concept itself. Even the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" may be invalid in the sense that it implies a logical disjunction of states. Could reality be such that there is a superposition of nothing and something? In a certain sense, even "Nothing" is something. It is a lack of “Something”. We can really get ourselves down a semantics rabbit hole on this question and the real problem is ... what definitions we agree to impose on our words, what are the agreed limits we impose on what is implicit and explicit in their meanings.

Of course there is an answer, we just may not have access to it. If something is happening and you ask "why" or "how", it's a perfectly valid question because the thing is happening in front of you and there's some reason for that... saying "no, there is no answer to how that works" is a logical inconsistency.

Existence exists. Ayn Rand Existence exists and the universe is its character, its nature. The main thing about the universe, that is frequently overlooked, is that The universe is not just another thing in the universe. Which means you cannot meaningfully ask the same questions about the universe that you can about things in the universe. To do so is to implicitly assume The universe, its just another thing in the universe.

Your topic is existence, I will post again my view about it so that this concept will carry on. Regarding the origin of things, in quantum physics it could be said that energy exists forever since the law of conservation of energy states that " energy could neither be created nor destroyed it only transforms from one to another" in which sense it means energy is there forever thus infinitely there is something instead of nothing. Where we always use the basic equation energy entering in the system = energy going out. Even if there was still only stellar space and there no matter but in reality in the quantum realm it was just plasma or space of energy field. As per quantum physics, at quantum state particles are in constant vibration, and in the long process like billions of years elements are created, and due to heat which produces nuclear fission and fusion processes and magnetic field, the elements would produce isotopes, and the process repeats and then the big bang expansion occurs. Second thing is that consciousness is inherent in nature. How is that? Spinoza presents the basic elements of his picture of God. God is the infinite, necessarily existing (that is, self-caused), unique substance of the universe. There is only one substance in the universe; it is God; and everything else that is, is in God. But be aware that this is different concept than the God being described in the Bible which instructs human beings morality, who created heaven and hell, since this God is an individual invisible being who lives in the heavens as claimed by believers. As we can observe everything, bacteria, viruses, insects, and when we look at them and analyse intricately, we will be amazed with much astonishment as to their peculiarity and amazing ability. It is so obvious that a certain force of entity should have caused them. That might be the one which was pointed Spinoza, he called a God, a self caused, one substance in the universe. This substance must be conscious to have come up how to design everything like how many kinds of fishes look like, insects, birds with their amazing capabilities. Since, according to him everything is in God, thus everything is conscious. To support that claim many experiments show that water in glasses reacts to words. Another thing is that traditional farmers doing a winnowing of rice paddies make sound with their voice and whistle when they want more air and air seems to respond to blow more. Now how life emerged? Look at public water. It has been treated with chlorine and undergone some purification processes but when you store it in the white plastic storage tank where sunlight could pass through algae will gradually be produced, then bacteria would also exist. What is water composed of? It is hydrogen and oxygen, and also air contaminates it which is composed of nitrogen and oxygen. Then we ask what is there in the hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements which might be present in the water and how it reacts with words? While we know that they just contain molecules and molecules contain electrons, neutrons and protons. Then how species evolve with amazing design? This is my view, we could combine these theories. We go back to the quantum realm of what the experiment has shown in the double slit board where it seems that particles have consciousness in my view. Others insist that there was no consciousness involved there but for me there is. Why? When someone is observing the particles in the double slit experiment, they would surely go as expected since the energy radiating from the observer is stronger than the energy of the particles that it would act like it was being controlled. When no one is observing or when no outside force is acting on it, it would go as it wants to go like a bacteria deciding to go where it wants. That’s why in my view in the quantum realm there is consciousness or in totality the universe is conscious. What about the question of the language in the DNA of living cells? This would be the theory. When various conscious particles as derived as per the anomaly in the quantum experiment, cling into the DNA, then having form combined consciousness, and now created species would manage by itself to create language or code in the DNA. According to a neuroscientist the human body needs 90 minerals for it to have the best health condition. Now imagine such various kinds elements we do not know yet which specific element has the conscious properties, but we can only assume that which such complex combination, advance functions could be performed as we are, the human consciousness, comparing that of a computer functions excellently with just two options of gate the zero and one. As observed in the simple experiment with water reacts with words, we can infer that anything which has water has consciousness like algae, bacteria, virus, plants, insects upto the human being. Think about the cells of human being, they, convert nutrients into energy, cure inflammation, fight enemy, signal you to eat, poop, sleep and many more. Now it becomes clear The theory of multiverse also would be in conjunction with this view, where it relates that at any space multiverse exists. Considering it collectively, energy and consciousness are inherent in nature. With these energy and consciousness it could originate species and also made the galaxies to arrange by themselves. Being conscious they could evolve by themselves, right? A computer could do a tremendous job with just a binary combination of gate zero and one. Compared to conscious particles, consciousness surely would be much more advanced, complex and amazing which is the primality of genes and DNA, where particles like different sorts of electrons, protons, gamma, theta or what not (refer to the water in the tank above) clinging to it forming different kinds of species. This process underwent a billion years in the past. With science as our tool in scrutinising subjects, and referring to the data which have been gathered for the past centuries, the data does not point to any supernatural being with which anomaly that it has created things, but rather, it would aligns with the postulate of Spinoza regarding the universe. There are levels of consciousness; consciousness of algae, bacteria, plants, cells of living things, and those which have brain like insects, animals then human beings.

To me, the answer as to why there is anything at all is simple - because there has always been something. If there was nothing at all, then there would be no possible way for something to become. The fact that something exists means that by default, there has always been something. And the fact that there is something, means than nothing has never been a possible state. I'm not sure where the problem is.

The concept that consciousness is fundamental is bolstered by the similarities of human descriptions of being conscious over the eons; each description is indistinguishable regardless of who, where, when and it is also unrelated to intelligence levels. This is such an unlikely phenomenon that it suggests individual brains tune into consciousness, as it were, rather than generate it - in the same way that any radio tuned to the same station would play the same songs. A corollary of this would have to be panpsychism as, with everything being made of atoms, we cannot expect certain structures to be imbibed with consciousness and others not; because at some stage this would require a ’switch’ or a special particle or ingredient. A plate of food in front of you cannot be dead and unconscious before you eat it then alive and conscious once inside you merely because its atoms have been rearranged.

We’ve only had written records for a few thousands of years, that’s an eye blink in evolutionary terms so those people were basically genetically indistinguishable from us. It’s hardly surprising if their brain activity and baseline conscious experience was essentially the same as well. As for tuning into consciousness, I don’t see how that’s consistent with the way brain damage and psychoactive drugs affect the felt experience. They would have to reach back up the broadcast somehow to influence the original source of consciousness. That implies a physical dependency for consciousness that’s not consistent with the broadcast model. As for why some matter can be conscious when similar matter isn’t, some silicon is rocks and other silicon is microchips. One can compute Fourier transforms and play chess, while the other can’t. That makes sense if consciousness is an activity, not a substance or property for example as proposed by dualists.

This question is as old as human imagination and is still as inscrutable as it's ever been, or at least almost. It's inscrutable because we simply don't have the evolutionary depth, A.K.A. brain power to fully apprehend any answer commensurate with the utter totality of the question. I'll use this analogy again. If we quizzed our ancestors two million years ago about Einstein's theory of relativity or quantum mechanics they'd be as nonplussed as we are today in attempting to explain ultimate reality. However we have a much firmer grasp of how our universe works and its history. One could take the purely intellectual position that the human mind is incapable of fathoming ultimate mystery and that's all there is to it, but there's another aspect to this question that's worth considering, and it's essentially and inescapably theological. If I subscribe to a theistic interpretation of how the universe came into existence, and that must mean a transcendent agent, my question then becomes what is my relation to this transcendent power. If I further grant that the process by which our cosmos came into existence seems formulaic, intentional, and designed, as modern cosmology describes then it seems this transcendent agent is a knowing, self lucid force that expresses itself in and through the evolved emergent complexity we see throughout the universe, and we are exhibit A in this process. You may ask what does this have to do with the title page question of Mr Kuhn's CTT episode. Here's my answer though yours may be different. Take the question of what constitutes ultimate reality and pose it inwardly to who you think you are or who I think I am. You'll find it's just as difficult to offer any definitive answer. Here's my attempt to answer this profound question. If you ask me who I am, my answer would likely be my name and history, occupation and so forth, but these are only outward states and conditions that this thing I call "me" is presently experiencing, and yet even when I do experience anything from a poetic thought to a toothache I still have the real psychological sense of being "removed and separate" from these things and this carries over into every experience I've ever had or ever will. Have you ever heard a survivor speak about going through an horrific and extended period of pain or privation? They nearly always talk as though they were an observer to their suffering. This begs the question; what and who exactly is doing the observing? At the center of our being is a space where one thing is permitted to reside, and until that one thing does reside there, no other force or power can claim that space. This doesn't mean we can't be distracted by small things but these annoyances are peripheral and have no life beyond the confusion that spawns them. Something quiet, reassuring and reflective is at the heart of who we are. This immutable essence is in type and kind the same immutable essence that expresses itself throughout the universe through it's most intelligible form consciousness. There is no other way to describe this truth but spiritual. To ask what constitutes ultimate reality is really to ask who we are.

It is simply the nature of reality that there is something. With that, there is no getting around it from a human perspective. We exist in a very strange reality where there is no beginning and no end and it is infinite in every way. I agree with the guest that our reality proceeds God or quantum mechanics. The only answer from a finite human perspective is, that reality simply is and there is no other way for it to be. It seems good if we are uncomfortable with that as an answer. It will give us something worthwhile to do for eternity. I believe it is about the most worthwhile thing to do with life. To look for ultimate answers even if we're not capable of getting them.

Of God vs the quantum vacuum, at 4:16 Robert says "They both seem kind of equivalent". The subsequent conclusion ("no answer" versus "unknowable answer") fails to satisfy. What exists before God? Answer: the void. The void is not empty space. It is a dynamic domain, before space is defined, where "somethingness" attempts to manifest, constrained by the laws of symmetry - the virtual particles. "Because God", as first cause, never explains anything. The void and its phenomenology precedes God, and it is in understanding the void, as a possibility space, that an answer is most likely to be forthcoming. Even God, were He to exist, would probably agree.

The difference between "the law of quantum physics" and God is that God is the epitome of consciousness, fully knowledgeable and eternal in structural existence, whereas the so-called laws of quantum physics are fully dependent on zero probability wherein the laws themselves do not exist due to lack of enforcing element in the state of absolute zero, eternal nothingness. Also it is empirically impossible to explain the origin of the so-called laws.

“God” is as good a term as any for the state that preceded our universe. I feel that God exists and that “God” shares in my existence and I in “God’s”. I feel that “God” created the universe in whole from beginning to end and that our perception of the forward movement in time is an artifact of our inability to know the future. We can successfully intuit the likely future based on the present and the remembered past, but not know for sure. I feel that “God” created the universe to allow existence to be and us to be. So to share our experience. I feel that “God” is omnipresent in space and time. I feel the “God” must allow for natural and optional “evil” for our existence to have real meaning. Just because we can’t know the future with certainty because of our perceptual limitations, doesn’t really matter in our lives experience. We feel like we have agency, even if we don’t.

Are you a truth seeker? If you want to know the truth what I write is for you. I want to know if the Quran was memorized or not. I don't want to believe, i want to know. What it would mean for the future of Islam if it is proven the Quran was never memorized? The Quran was never memorized because the task is beyond human capabilities and the question you have to ask yourself is "is it a big or a little lie?". Why muslims lied about such issue?. There is no need to lie about the memorization of the Quran, so why did they lie?. Reality is for everyone the same, whoever discovers the true God wins. At the end of the day the only that matters is to discover the true God because any life is infinitely shorter than eternity. Muslims say "research and read the Quran", as if the reading of the Quran would make you any wiser. Would you read Spinoza? If you read Spinoza is not going to kill you. To not waste this loving poem I say atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. The true God is Spinoza's God. To end Islam and the war you have to ask for proof that the Quran was memorized. Trust me. Emergency. Thank you.

The fact is that science not only cannot explain existence but does prove that it is impossible to explain existence. And that is a paradox since we already exist.

A superior power necessarily exists.

@@simonhibbs887Thanks for sharing your thoughts. In fact, there is no need to fill any gap. If you agreed that there is a paradox knowing we already exist, we simply have to rely on how our science guides us to resolve it. Here comes the solid second Godel Incompleteness theorem. No matter what system we are talking about, even whole universe, it is impossible to prove completely its consistency. An external (out of system) axiom / element has to be used to prove its consistency. Hence, we have by science to realise existence of an out of our universe factor that can render all theories consistent.

@@tarekabdelrahman2194 Gödel's theorems just means a system can't be internally proven consistent, even if it is. Yes an external framework such as a meta-theory needs to be invoked to prove consistency (in that meta-framework, which itself has the same problem), but no such external framework is required for the original system to actually be consistent. So we cannot infer the necessary existence of such an external framework from Gödel. Also since our meta-framework has the same problem as the original system, of being unable to prove it's consistency, if we require such a proof we end up with an infinite regression of required meta-frameworks. That's why the god proposition doesn't resolve the question, we then just ask why god? I think neither science nor logic can help us here. Science requires observations, and logic requires proofs. I don't think either are accessible to us on this question.

On the other hand, a meta theorem like you said is by own definition beyond our science which means not necessarily bound with the same laws of science we have. Hence, the straightforward deduction is that we do not get into an infinite regression. The “meta theorem “ will be : - Can explain our universe laws consistently - Beyond our science so not bound necessarily itself with the same theorem - Explains the creation of our universe How can we interpret this power ?

Wow! Godel's incompleteness theorems are about formal provability (always relative to some formal system). Let me repeat that, FORMAL PROVABILITY. First theorem: Any consistent formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out is incomplete; there are statements of language in F which can neither be proved nor disproved in F. The second theorem: For any consistent system F within which a certain amount of arithmetic can be carried out the consistency of F cannot be proved in F itself. A common misunderstanding is to interpret theorems as showing that there are truths that cannot be proven. And that's incorrect, for the theorems do not deal with unprovability in any absolute sense but only unprovability in some particular axiomatic system. And that's it. My question is: How do you draw your bizarre conclusions from Godel's theorems, and how do you apply them outside mathematics? Godel's theorems don't say anything about what explains what in concrete reality or what exists or what can and cannot be explained. At best, they have some epistemological implications, but not any groundbreaking discovery. Stuffs that ancient philosophers already knew and considered.​@@tarekabdelrahman2194

For example we can probably never observe anything that would confirm the multiverse predictions of inflation theory, but some of its predictions about the homogeneity and anisotropic of the CMB have been bang on the money. Similarly the Hawking-Turok model of universe formation predicts the creation of singularities in the early universe which in principle could be verified against the incidence of primordial black holes. Nobody really knows exactly what the limits of observable verifiability actually are.

It Seems Obvious for Me to come up with Two Examples of the Human Conclusion for a God, by Our Ancestors. (There are Other Possibilities, Another Good One is Lightning) One is the MOON. Another is FAMILY DEATH. Humans would have Encountered these Two Phenomenons from Our Start, Long Ago. Hence One of Our Ancestors, Maybe a Group of Ancestors, had the Chance to Wonder about the MOON :- Easily Observable in the Sky. The Picture of the Moon in the Sky Changes Shape Regularly. The Picture of the Moon in the Sky Changes Location Regularly. The Picture of the Moon in the Sky Changes Colour Regularly. The Moon is Harmless. In the Case of DEATH. Death More than Likely Triggered Emotion First, but then Wonder as to How that Occurred and Why Death. Early Humans Liked Each Other More than Disliked Each Other, this is Why We Exist Now. Then as with Jesus, Our Ancestors Would have Experienced Recovery from what Seemed Like Death, Unconscious to Conscious. Now the Key Point here is Our Ancestors WONDER, they are Conscious More than Any other Life. I Say Wondering Ends Up Splitting into Two Cultures :- What We Call Science Now. What We Call Religion Now. The Other Critical Component in Both these Wonder Cases, Moon, Death, is Human Communication. At the Point of the God Conclusion Our Ancestors Must have been able to TALK. The God Conclusion is Carried Forward by the Human ability to TALK. Hence it is Real Examples of Wonder, Emotion and Talk which causes One of Our Ancestors to become one of the First Geniuses if Not the First Genius. A GOD Created the Moon and causes the Picture of the Moon to Change. GOD Created Death. GOD Gave Us the Ability to TALK. Our Ancestors Concluding a GOD is a Huge Moment of HUMAN IQ. Possible the Defining Moment of Human IQ. We Use Our Wondering to Conclude Something much more Powerful than Us Must have Created the Moon. GOD!. Ancient Science of course Moves Forward Very Slowly. Science Eventually Offers Evolution, The Big Bang as Reasons for the MOON and Humans Ability to TALK. Science Methods, Scientists Seem to Know it has a Problem with Consciousness and Struggles to Explain Why Humans Would Wonder and Conclude, Long Ago. Human Consciousness Creates a Full Circle Moment :- The Ability to Wonder causes the God Conclusion. The God Conclusion Explains Our Ability to be Conscious and WONDER. Something Far More Poweful than Us gave Us the Ability to be Conscious, Including the Tools of Human Consciousness, Brain, Ears, Eyes, Nose, Pain, Voice, Emotion. So Why do Humans, the Moon and the Universe Exist ?. God Knows Why, offers the Something Much Bigger Answer. Science is Constrained by Science and Unfortunately Offers No Sound Science Answer.
