It's a pointless OP.

Unless someone has put together an experiment where something come forth out of nothing, it's just a bunch of words.


Pointless? Perhaps.

As for your experiment, that would be impossible to create. In order for there to be an experiment, there must also be a universe consisting of laws. The fact that these laws exists makes it impossible for a scientist to create an artificial nothingness.

Just a bunch of words? Correct, but you could have inferred that much just by reading the title. After realizing how pointless the OP was, why devote energy into reading it and later responding to it?

 

As an agnostic, I've always had difficulty with the idea that something (i.e. the universe) can come out of nothing. The human brain is the most complex organism in the known universe, and yet human beings aren't able to create universes -and I believe there are Einsteinian laws preventing us from realising such a proposition even if we could theorize it correctly. 

All laws within realm of classical physics make perfect logical sense, but that still leaves the potential anomalies of quantum mechanics, dark energy, dark matter etc. So I don't think we'll ever 100% understand everything in the universe, let alone how it began.
