A universe from nothing? Is this fucking guy just a total charlatan or should I actually buy into this shit?

"nothing" in physics isn't what it is in philosophy.
Fields are non-zero in their lowest energy state because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Yet it is called vacuum. That is the 'nothing'

>there is nothing
>but there is something actually
at least philosophy makes sense
Samuel Kelly
It bugs me when he uses the vacuum fluctuation bit in his atheism debates. If the vacuum has potential, where does the process that excites fields come from? Why is there even a zero-potential state to begin with? Why should anything "happen" ever?
I'm not saying it was god, I just don't understand as it being a starting point. It seems the fact that processes even become initiated is already a "something," so these processes aren't arising from nothing.

If your "sense" isn't compatible with reality
is it really making sense?

>a starting point
It's a starting point because it is compatible with what follows.
You can suggest a different starting point, but be prepared to do the heavy lifting to make it combatible with reality.

I'm not saying I know a better one, I just don't understand how this is not just another state arising from something else before. Where did the arena for fields and the vacuum come from? I understand that they are the arena, in a sense, but does something "host" these processes?

As opposed to what?
