“Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the
universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch
paper and set the universe going.” (Page 180)
“We've seen that there must be a law like gravity, and we saw in chapter 5 that for a
theory of gravity to predict finite quantities, the theory must have super symmetry
between the forces of nature and the matter on which they act. M-theory is the most
general super symmetric theory of gravity. For these reasons M-theory is
the only candidate for a complete theory of the universe. If it is finite - and this has yet
to be proved - it will be a model of a universe that creates itself. We must be part of this
universe, because there is no other consistent model.” (Page 181)
However the real trick here is in the definition of “nothing”. Here is how the materialists
explain the ex nihilo creation of cosmos out of nothing:
”Can Something Come from Nothing?
To most people, the claim that something cannot come from nothing is a truism.
However, most physicists disagree. Against the claim, they often cite what are
variously known as quantum vacuum fluctuations or virtual particles. These are
particle-antiparticle pairs that come into existence in otherwise empty space for
very brief periods of time, in agreement with the Heisenberg uncertainty relations
“In the everyday world, energy is always unalterably fixed; the law of energy
conservation is a cornerstone of classical physics. But in the quantum micro world,
energy can appear and disappear out of nowhere in a spontaneous and
unpredictable fashion.” (Paul Davies: 1983: 162)
“The uncertainty principle implies that particles can come into existence for short
periods of time even when there is not enough energy to create them. In effect,
they are created from uncertainties in energy. One could say that they briefly
"borrow" the energy required for their creation, and then, a short time later, they
pay the "debt" back and disappear again. Since these particles do not have a
permanent existence, they are called virtual particles.” (Richard Morris 1990: 24)
