Mathematical proof the Universe expanded from nothing

L.Jenkins

Please indulge me in what could be the most, utterly daft thing you have every heard.

I've read a short article on slashdot.org regarding the expansion of the Universe from nothing and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation used to prove it. For some reason, the following immediately sprung to mind having read the article, Mathematical proof the Universe expanded from nothing.

"I wonder if the assumption can be made that, if the universe has been proven or can be proven to expand from nothing, does this in fact represent something of or be seen to behave in a similar manner as a biological entity? For example, the universe expanding in a similar fashion to cell division, but on a much larger and more complex scale."

I have no idea why I compared the expansion of the Universe to Cell Division. Anyone have any thoughts on the article or my odd way of thinking about the Universe?

Cell division has nothing to do with the universe coming from nothing.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle may be the best explanation of the universe coming from nothing. Simply put, nothingness has an uncertainty (it would have to, because how could nothing have any rules, it's not even there). In classical physics we think of causality. But, if you have a space, or a point of absolute nothingness, not even time, then you get fluctuations, But the fluctuations don't even exist; as time is created and destroyed with in them. Time and space can appear, and then disappear. But there is no then, or was, or future, or past. Just nothing. But we can exist in these instabilities, because their net existence cancels itself out.

Do you get me?

We're not even here.

We're not even made of stardust....We're made of pure nothing.

When the end of the universe comes, it will erase its' own beginning. So, it was never there, here, or anywhere.

I understand now, but for some reason I was trying in my own mind to make a comparison between the expansion itself and cell division as an explanation of a Universal Expansion.
