To any sane natural philosopher it is a fairly ridiculous concept.&amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; George: I completely disagree with this!&amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; How accurately can nothing be measured? &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; To be an absolute nothing it has to be 0.00000000000... &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; where there are an infinity of zeros. &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; If there was a nonzero digit somewhere along the line &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; it would not be nothing but something.&amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; Something, however small, is something. &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&gt; Nothing, to exist, has to be impossibly accurately defined.-This discussion is not at a math level, but philosophic. Nothingness can be conceived, and does not need to be measured. As conceived it is stable. Krauss&amp;apos; &amp;apos;something from nothing&amp;apos; is not nothing, but a quantum virtual vaccuum, which is a something. Thus, something has had to be eternally present for us to be here.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nice review article of our gaps in understanding. but the georgous part is the first (and only) comment by a professor who understands how philosophically stupid Lawrence Krauss&amp;apos; &amp;apos;something from nothing book&amp;apos; is.-http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/life-unbounded/2014/03/12/this-is-what-we-dont-know-about-the-universe/</p>
