THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE

'What is a big deal - the biggest deal of all - is how you get something out of nothing.

Don't let the cosmologists try to kid you on this one. They have not got a clue either - despite the fact that they are doing a pretty good job of convincing themselves and others that this is really not a problem. "In the beginning," they will say, "there was nothing - no time, space, matter or energy. Then there was a quantum fluctuation from which ..." Whoa! Stop right there. You see what I mean? First there is nothing then there is something. And the cosmologists try to bridge the two with a quantum flutter, a tremor of uncertainty that sparks it all off. Then they are away and before you know it, they have pulled a hundred billion galaxies out of their quantum hats.'

nothing. New Scientist, 151(2047):49.
