The greatest philosophical questions of all time is: “Why is there something rather than nothing?”. There are possible explanations. Universes like ours can arise in a higher dimensional space: a space outside our universe that has more dimensions than our four dimensions. Many physicists define it as multiverse, a higher dimensional space in which universes are continuously created and destroyed.

But the question remains: Why is there anything? Why is there a universe, or rather a multiverse? Why not simply nothing: no time, no space, no “place” in or from which universes can occur.

But perhaps this is a wrong question. There is simply nothing. And there have always been something. The multiverse may always have been. The multiverse is eternal, but the universe it is not: they arise and pass away with a big bang in a big crunch or evaporate after a seeming eternity.

Scientific discoveries have show that absolute nothingness is fraud. Empty space is filled with “vacuum fluctuations”: particles that momentarily out of nowhere. And Einstein showed that the thin empty space can twist and curves like a snake.

But where would absolute  ”Nothing” come from?

We humans do not think it exists because we are conscious beings. If there is no consciousness, as in a deep sleep or when we are beaten or knocked out on the operating table, there is really nothing: no thoughts, no feelings, no time, no space.

Therefore, we think that nothing really must exist outside of our heads and we must ask ourselves why there is something instead of nothing. But the answer may be that nothing simply does not exist. The multiverse is eternal and endless expanse of nothing and exists only in our heads. There was always something.

The universe was not so out of nothing, but from everything.
