>>10935945Imagine that reality and Nature have always existed forever, that whichever the most encompassing structure of reality may be, that it truly stretches out to an absolute infinity and has always been and ever will be, extending the block universe concept of time to a ln 'eternal worldcrystal' containing all possible physical worlds in it.
We have not yet determined the fundamental axioms of mathematics and logic, nor the most general laws of Nature (with the greatest descriptive power). For all we know, a divergence from "eternal reality-crystal in infinite sea of light" may be logically impossible.
The theory of "Nature is eternal" makes the fewest assumptions of all origin theories, and doesn't even allow certain logical paradoxes that give rise to the others such as the necessity of a prime mover and on how can something come from nothing. The simplest explanation is that there isn't a 'nothing' at all in Nature because it is impossible for there to be a discontinuity in reality itself. Seriously, 'nothingness' as a concept makes no sense unless 'something' or 'everything' are already defined.
