Dear all,
I just read something in a book by Lawrence Krauss which I don't understand. I hope you can answer my question:
Kraus makes the argument that if you take quantum mechanics and gravity, something is more energetically favorable than nothing. Hence if you take nothing, at some point something will arise.
My question is:
Doesn't gravity (or maybe quantum mechanics, too) break down, like the nuclear forces, in the big bang?
If so, then does Kraus's argument still hold? Or do I interpret it wrongly?
I'm a biologist and only read bits a pieces about physics, so forgive me if I've said something ignorant, which I know is easy to do.
Kind regards,
Daan from Amsterdam
