It's hasty to say it came from any where.

Well, if we are asking about the absolute origin of everything then asking about the origin of the initial conditions of a quantum foam is a meaningful question. I don't know if we can ever figure out a complete answer (that doesn't have brute factors beyond explanation) but valid questions deserve to be considered.

Absolutely. It is interesting to consider and speculate, but we would only be making shit up at this point. There is no truth value to it, but certainly entertainment value, and mind exercise value.

Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

Thank you, even though I will need more explanation than that and I will need to read more but I got the point.

Can we say there can be another universe made up of Dark Matter or Dark Energy just like our universe is made up of Energy and Matter and these 2 universes, ours and their interact with each other and form Gravity Something like when u form those bubbles with foam when kids play and there are 2 bubbles stuck to each other and they move in the air but they pull each other or shit like that.

Speaking about cosmology, "it came from something contra from nothing". Lawrence Krauss new book is out. I am going to check it out!
