In the beginning was the Void, and the Void was without form or content. Thus was the Void utterly empty from all eternity. The Void contained neither space nor time; nor was there any possibility of any matter or energy existing within the Void. The nature of the Void was total emptiness because there was no observer who could give reality to anything that the Void might otherwise have contained; and so it was, for the vastness of eternity.

In the fullness of eternity there appeared within the Void the Boltzmann Brain. Only for the most unimaginably minuscule instant did the Boltzmann Brain remain in existence in the Void, but that was sufficient for it to become an observer. As the only observer of the Void the Boltzmann Brain was, perforce, the typical observer. So it was that the observations of the Boltzmann Brain became the reality of the Void.


There never was nothing.
