Either nothing came from nothing, or something came from something else...

Given the fact we know we already exist, we're left with little to no choice but to assume that the universe at least came from... something. What it was exactly is anyone's guess. We know it wasn't nothing though, because we're already here. And if nothing - true absolute nothing - was the original state of everything prior to the creation and existence of space and time, then it would simply continue being nothing ad infinitum. 0+0=0. That's just the most logical deduction one could make. But, if nothing can spontaneously produce something then that original nothingness was not nothing at all, but in fact a something.

It's hard - if not impossible - to imagine a universe in its formative years, especially when conscious beings weren't even on the scene yet. This of course begs the obvious question; How does a universe exist in spite of our perception of it, when perception itself is the very means in which reality becomes manifest?

Focus.. The mutliverse needs no cause.

We think we see cause and effect every day. But we really dont.

Since this is a philosphy topic, ill drop humes billard balls here. The cue ball does not cause the eight ball to move. The energy in the cue balls continues on until it is released to the universe. The energy simply is tranfers.

The big bang being the start is more a matter of language then what happened. And we arent complelty sold on the big bang either... Just seems to be the most likely.

Its just energy and matter from another universe carrying over into ours. The energy and matter is constant. Just going. And the pull of the universe on space time creates quantium waves anf gravity waves that intertwine. That pull of energy materialized and was turned into matter and energy in our universe. Creating its own fields of gravity, eltroradiation, and plenty else.

The energy is still just moving with matter. Pulling on space time and making rifts and waves from the movement. The energy of movement is just being transfered into another form.

A huge amount of this gets into epistomology where we have to discover how we know knowledge. We dont have a direct relationship with the natural world. There is our senses and reasoning that come between us and the world.

Knowledge is gained by refining our structures of understand closer and closer to how the universe actually works.

Of course this isnt the only idea out there, and others have proposed that witnessing cause and effect is the thing we r best at.

When considering and pondering the workings of the mutliverse, cause and effect dont seem to rational. It seems to impose a world of infinate and finite. Which neither one seems to completly play out well enough to make sense.

Its much more rational to assume the structure of cause and effect for the multiverse doesnt apply. Just seems to be the simpliest explination to understand the pheonomnology around us.
