why is there anything instead of nothing?

Recommended Posts

The 'nothingness' of space does have a temperature. So space on its own has a small density that creates heat at a standstill. If there were to be nothing at all then the density and temperature of space would have to be infinitely zero which isn't possible. So instead of nothing you have heat that squeezes the universe and variations in the density of space as a medium.

The nothingness of space by definition can't have a temperature because there are no molecules within a vacuum (as implied by the term vacuum) from which we can measure/average kinetic energy.

Do you think even though it can't be measured that temperature still exists however?

I'd have no reason to suspect so, but I could be wrong.

Because God/Brahman has a creative aspect.

Gravity fields provide the temperature of empty space. If space were infinitely cold, which is impossible, but if there was some point in space that was it would absorb all the energy and matter from the universe.

So since heat is infinetly divisible in both ways hot and cold is why something exists because the heat is small and dense and the cold expansive.

Space isn't a vacuum though. Even in the emptiest parts of space you still have the CMB, which measures about 2 degrees above absolute zero.

No they don't

You keep saying "infinitely cold" which is a meaningless sentence. You have a lowest possible temperature which is about -273 C.

Heat is not "infinitely" divisible. Heat is the movement of particles. This is by definition quantizable.

It's the closest thing that we have to a perfect vacuum, in all fairness... so for all intents and purposes, it's a vacuum. We can split hairs on this one, though.

Well, if it was, it wouldn't have a temperature as you've pointed out. But the CMB is everywhere and does have a temperature.

You're correct.

There is no "why" everything just is. "Why" implies purpose and purpose, in turn, implies a directed universe, a concept unsupported save by circular reasoning.

Can “nothing” EXIST?      No.    Therefore, there is…IS.  :yes:

Neat Emma well we already discussed this same BSYHP on another forum and determined that if the universe had a 'lowest possible temperature' that it would fill up with heat from stars. instead the heat dissipates. any comment?

Stars do heat up the universe. But stars are small and the universe is huge. Its also expanding, meaning any heat generated by stars is stretched out and lost. 

This really isn't a mystery mate.

So the heat put out by a star isn't backed up because the universe stretches it out? that would be weird. Where would it go to? wouldn't that spot in the universe fill quickly with heat?

The first two videos should help with a few of the basics.

The third is much more relevant to your actual questions.

Its kind of scary that we use big nuclear power plants and X-ray machines when the basic understanding of space and heat for some is what is in those videos.

Why? We have a pretty thorough understanding of how they work.

I don't know what you mean by "backed up". And what would "be weird"? I really don't think you're grasping how small any heat increase is compared to the sheer size of the universe.
