of the exceeding clever backwards deciphering partly-within t=0, *cough* on down to a round-bottom picture of τ=0 (Aren't we lucky that such puzzles
keep us off the Street and ..they pay us a stipend too !?) Have to check out the series, next: how vastly superior to yesteryear physics texts!

(I had grokked that the quantum vacuum contains numberless Potential Energies, all nicely invisible to an Observer: antithesis of 'emptiness', that Void)
Oddly, that concept is a pronouncement of some ancient Sages, too: ~~ "the dark blue Nothingness which is alive with energies." Small (intellectual) world, eh?
Seems all you need is One of 'these' for n clones of our own small Universe.

It's compelling physical deduction. Still, quite far afield from God-ness hypotheses, the physics view leaves us with (never mind n-Universes)
a perpetual quantum vacuum; we don't understand 'perpetual' of course, nor how That application of pre-Time "time" squares with any old τ=0 in any old
(or New! Universe on, say 1-31-15 Our 'Time'?) I so confused.

At any rate, the seeking of The Origin of It All (the vacuum) under unKnowable laws of Perpetuity: is clearly a fool's errand, unless: the vacuum too had an Origin.
One could argue that these imponderables trump any query connecting a Source, Origin? to this Consciousness apparition. Quite beyond simple chicken -vs- egg, that-all.

Unless..
