Nothing comes from nothing
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Nothing comes from nothing is a philosophical expression often stated in its Latin form: ex nihilo nihil fit. This principle maintains that anything that exists in physical reality has its origins in and is the manifestation of something else. The idea was first expressed as such by Empedocles. Today, the idea is loosely associated with the laws of conservation of mass and energy.
The principle is thought by some people to be a paradox, as it implies that something has always existed. Others see no problem in this result.
