    If you believe that in an academic physics paper ā€œnothingā€ can be freely substituted for ā€œsomethingā€ and vice versa and you approve of that then I’m afraid we will never understand each other.

    And around and round we go. How many times do we have to point that we are not understanding each other? I offered an alternative to the word “nothing”. It was about no spacetime, no matter. You kinda of ignored that and pointed out that it’s still an explanation of “something” that came “before”. I agreed, and talked of expanding our definition of “universe” to include more than just what we can observe and theorize about up until a few microseconds into the Big Bang. I agree, there is something “outside” of this physical universe, something “created” it, so we need some other words for it. You are so smart, so astute, and probably also handsome. I understand you completely. So, now what?
