On the Question Why There Exists Something Rather Than Nothing
arXiv Preprint Archive November 23, 2021 Roderich Tumulka
The author offers a speculative explanation for why there is something rather than nothing, though they believe it is incorrect because it predicts the absence of qualia, which they consider empirically false. The reasoning, if correct, could in principle derive all laws of nature and physical facts about the universe. The author then discusses which objections to this explanation are valid and which are not.
