If nothing can come from nothing then what did the first thing come from?

Answer 1

nothong

Answer 2

One of the laws of thermodynamics shows that material things left unattended will die.i.e. an apple rotting. So the material world is slowly decaying and may have been for a long time. again this implies there must have been a beginning to the material universe. If one believes there is a spiritual dimension it would not necessarily be limited by physical constraints. I read a lengthier discourse on this subject by people much more qualified in a book by Chicago Tribune legal editor Lee Strobel. The book was called The Case for the Creator. Hope it helps. Cheers

Answer 3

Nothing from nothing is not possible according to Einstein's equation E=Mc squared. Also, the first law of thermodynamics is that energy can become matter, and matter can become energy ( hence the atomic bomb). Mankind has been debating your question for centuries, and there is still no one answer, only theories and conjecture. It seems it requires a certain amount of faith to accept our reality as it is. The information we seek on this question is not available to us....yet. What was the original singularity that caused our universe to become?and more important, why? All the evidence at this time in history seems to indicate that our assumption that ours is the ONLY universe to be in error. There may in fact be not only other universes, but other DIMENSIONS from which the original matter of our universe may have come from. But that is only conjecture. I believe in the final analysis, the questions of this type are simply unanswerable in our current plane of existence and experience. Simple logic indicates there is something going on here we cannot understand.

Answer 4

The Gamemaster.

There are those who abstain from all religion but accept that there has to have been a First Cause outwith the material world, a Creator who kickstarted all that is. It doesn't, philosophically, follow that the Creator plays any active part in the ongoing creation and change. Since the word "God" carries so much baggage, you might prefer another abstract word -- so I'm offering "The Gamemaster".

Answer 5

There is no "first cause", people just have difficulty wrapping their brains around the idea that the universe has always existed. There never was a beginning. And there will never be an ending either.

Answer 6

If this question is answered, that would be end of all our research. I can confidently say that answer to this question will never be found out by us.

Because research is all about verifiable data/proof. How "universe" was created out of nothing does not lend itself to this kind of verifiable proof.

If we try to think too hard about this, I get a wierd feeling that my Brain will crash like our windows-operatingsystem :)

Answer 7

The first thing came probably from empty space ( according to a theory from quantum mechanics) ; but iam not sure if space was nothing.

Answer 8

Sounds like you mean 'if SOMETHING can come from nothing'. My guess is that there was always something, in one form or another. Nothing can't generate something.

Deists can't answer where God came from either.

Answer 9

Who says nothing comes from nothing? Anything that doesnt yet exsist comes from nothing so clearly something comes from nothing.

Answer 10

"nothing" is just aword or descritpion ofless than or empty...it is almost impossible to have nothing in our existence because we have never experienced it in reality..its just a figure of speech, but if it helps...the first "thing" wld not be an identifying entity to itself to know if it were the 1st "thing" in the 1st place lol...confused yet???....sorry..i havent actually got a clue lol

Answer 11

Why does nothing need to "come from" nothing if nothing is already there?
