"Existence or Nothing" is an article by Glenn Borchardt published on 8 September 2025 on The Scientific Worldview.
Asked how the fact of existence supports the assumption that the universe is infinite, Borchardt answers that an infinite universe can produce an infinite number of things but cannot produce nothing — nor can it produce the opposite limit, perfectly solid matter. Every real portion of the universe has both properties: all space contains what appears to be matter, and all matter contains what appears to be space.
