Establishment Physicists will tell you there does exist an established principle in quantum theory that pairs of particles can spontaneously, momentarily ‘pop out of empty space’. Hmm. Bursting from nothingness, with the impetus being to then inflate to cosmological scales. Our Universe could thus have been ‘burped into being’ by the laws of physics alone.

Vilenkin concluded this result put an end to the question of what predated the ‘Big Bang’: Nothing. At least in his and the mind of mainstream scientists. Many cosmologists have come to agree with the idea of a Universe without what they refer to as a ‘prime mover’. They would. Such is the nature of group think. No mavericks allowed.

Today, scientists involved in Universe generation technologies, as with the LHC at CERN, express few moral concerns over the possible implications not only to humanity, but to our present Universe as we know it to exist in our reality. They acknowledge such creative mechanisms are within our practical grasp. Hmm. Ethics anyone?
