Speaking to a sold out crowd at the Berkeley Physics Oppenheimer Lecture, Hawking said...

Just out of curiosity, how does he do that?

I generally agree with him, but I do wonder how "something" could have come into being from absolutely "nothing".

That, of course, doesn't necessarily posit a "Creator"; at least not for me. But if, in the "beginning", there was "nothing", then how was space created? How was time created? I don't think one could have time independent of the other dimensions, but who knows? I'm not Hawking...

".. to me it is intriguing how you, as many, can believe something which you just cannot
know, 100%; how you can set yourself in stone, so to speak .. i'll never understand that .."

Am I correct in saying that everything we know of was created?
