Krauss claims that the laws of quantum mechanics can provide an answer to the old philosophical question of why there is something rather than nothing...
Is this a spat about real world physics transgressing onto philosophy's lawn? Is physics unable, or necessarily excluded from, addressing this question? is the answer not to be found in physics, nor can/will it ever be?
(I see that Yair is among the commentors).
No, it's a spat about wibblers thinking they can dictate to physicists about how they use language. Little do they realise that all their wibbling is utterly fucking useless in elucidating reality.
As Cito would say, this is spoon-bending at its finest.
