In this video, I explore what physicists actually mean by processes like string breaking, why the Big Bang does not necessarily imply that the universe emerged from absolute nothingness, and what Buddhist and Taoist philosophy might add to the question.
From sunyata to the Tao Te Ching, Advaita Vedanta, consciousness and death, this becomes a much bigger question than physics alone.
