A Simplified Proof That The Universe Cannot Be Explained

How would a reality in which there's nothing real be possible?

Is reality a thing?

In which case, it's thing dependent, and the same for existence if we view it as a state of things rather than a thing. Pure nothingness cannot be real and cannot exist without contradiction.

I thought that's what you were trying to do.

No.

Certainly. And it could be a horse box without a horse. If we could take everything out of our box, every particle, and try to get an absence of space time itself, what might happen at the point where we seem to achieve it, instead of the desired result, whoosh "big bang", we've created another set of dimensions, lots of somethingness, and become gods.

In order for someone to have a proof that the universe is inexplicable, they need to show that it can never be explained without reference to prior cause.
