No way. There is no evidence (by the way, we do not prove in physics) that something could be created out of nothing. NOTHING cannot create SOMETHING and SOMETHING cannot turn into NOTHING.

Your disbelief is noted, but the 'nothing' that physicists speak of is not an absolute nothing but a 'nothing' filled with fields and virtual matter/antimatter particles coming into and out of existence. If you had read the article you would had seen what they were talking about.

In quantum physics, that is absolutely not true.
Anyway, we are faced with a conundrum. Either the universe once did not exist and now does, or the universe has always existed. The first violates our nothing-from-something principle, while the second violates our everything-has-a-cause principle.
Bringing preconceived notions to this table accomplishes nothing.

I think the latter is only true if the arrow of time is universal, which we only know is true following the Big Bang event. If it isn't, then it's not clear what is even meant by giving rise to something.

That's my point. Trying to apply everything ideas of common sense, or even basic principles of how things happen, to the basic nature of the universe is folly.

wasnt one of the points of he article that if E=mc^^2 then with enough 'E' in a complete void, there has to be a mass? sorta implies one is created.
@#$@#!!! no wonder the lander crashed on mars. dammit!
