Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? Philosophy and Science Explained

This episode tackles one of the deepest questions in metaphysics: why does anything exist at all? We explore philosophical and scientific attempts to answer it, from cosmological arguments and the Principle of Sufficient Reason to ideas like the quantum vacuum and the multiverse.

Along the way, we examine the problem of defining “nothingness” and perspectives such as existentialism and brute fact theory, showing why this question remains unresolved yet central to human thought.
