But you need the field, without the field the particles wouldn’t PoP, the popping of the particles is dependent on the existence of the field, this is what I mean by “cause” sure according to some* interpretations of QM these fluctuation are random which is a very interesting an controvertial topic, but irrelevant, the thing is that the Popping of particles depends on the existence of something else. And my suggestion is that the popping of the universe was also dependent on something else weather if you what to label this as “cause” or not is irrelevant.
No, the field is not something that is independent of the probability of the particles appearing. So the field 'depends' just as much on the particles 'popping' reverse. They really are two ways of saying exactly the same thing. The field and the particles *are the same thing*.
And the point is that this field (the probability of popping of the particles) doe snot depend on anything else. it 'just is'. The particles appear *completely randomly* and the field is simply another way of saying the same thing: that there is a probability of particles appearing (or disappearing).
I would bet for deterministic intepretations of QM, but in any case the KCA is only concern about “things” “things that begin to exist have cause” probabilities are not things.
In that case, neither are fields. The fields are *probability fields*.
And there are no deterministic interpretations of QM that work with antimatter and relativity. The particle appearances are a relativistic effect and Bohmian mechanics simply can't handle this aspect of reality.
So even though I would reject the idea of “probabilities coming from nothing” weather if I am correct or not has no bearing in the validity of premise 1 in the KCA.
Sure and the burden proof has always been carried by the man who claims something contrary to our intuitions. In the absence of such proof we are all justified in trusting our intuitions, and we all do, this is how we all live our daily lives, and this is how scientists do their science.
But we *do* have good reasons to think our intuitions fail in this case. In particular, we have the simple fact that QM is not a causal theory. it is a probabilistic theory. Our intutions are *known* to be wrong in this aspect of the universe (witness the number of claimed 'paradoxes'--which are simply places where QM predicts, correctly, things that are counter to intuition).
I am not saying that “intuitions” are a perfect source of knowledge, nor that there are no exceptions, all I am saying that it makes sense to trust our intuitions until proven otherwise.
OK, relativity and quantum mechanics are sufficient reason to not trust our intuitions.
And all the examples of natural selection that have ever been seen* are from the last 200 years, to say that there was such thing as natural selection millions of years ago is a HUGE logical leap.
Nope, because we know that this model can be tested, has been tested, and passes the tests.
If I were to bet, I’ll say that you accept that things have causes outside the galaxy, even though nobody has seen any cause outside our galaxy, and you have no problem in accepting that the galaxy itself had a cause, so it seems to be that you are drawing an arbitrary line in “the universe” just because you don’t like the implications of a cause of the universe”
Wrong again. We can watch things happen in other galaxies and determine the causes of those things. And, it turns out that the models of physics that work locally also work in other galaxies.
Obviously the point that I am making is that if you apply such level of skepticism , you should be skeptical of everything,
I am justifiably skeptical of claims about the cause of the universe because I know that we don't have the correct physical laws to say what was going on in the very early universe. I also know that there are natural models that 1) have an infinite amount of time with matter and energy existing for all time, and 2) other models that have time starting at some point in the past but not being caused. I also know that the classical ideas about causality are flawed as shown by QM and until those are fixed, anything where QM might apply and where causal claims are being made should be taken skeptically.
Not to mention that the reasons for accepting premise 1 go beyond observations and intuitions, , there is a logical argument that supports premise 1 namely that “nothing can’t have any properties that would exclude universes from everything else.
Nothingness does not exist. Whenever anything exists, the universe and time exist. You are trying to apply your 'logic' to something that doesn't exist and using that to claim things about properties of things that do exist. For example, that they must have causes.
