Thought it best to start a new topic and maybe someone could guide me to a relevant thread. Why is there something instead of nothing at all? I realize that even in an empty vacuum, particles spring in and out of existence. So maybe nothing is a false concept? I just want to shine some clarity on the topic, as it causes me a lot of anxiety with my current interpretation of it. I almost wanted to post it in the atheism room because, to me, no God could be involved with such things.
