Don’t fall into the determinism trap. Everything is, in fact, random | Lee Cronin

**💥 How Does Something Come from Nothing?**

**Spoiler: It’s All About Chaos, Copies, and Cosmic Coin Tosses 🌀🧬**

At the very start of *everything*, physics points to the **Big Bang** — an unimaginable explosion of space, time, and energy 💣🌌.

From there:

☁️ Energy expands

➡️ Hydrogen forms

⭐ Hydrogen clumps together → stars

🌠 Stars explode → planets are born

🌍 Planets cool → life sparks

🧠 Life evolves → tech emerges

🚀 And here we are, flinging stuff into space like cosmic toddlers with slingshots.

But wait… that tidy story?

Underneath it lies **quantum chaos** ⚛️🌪️.

Quantum physics says the universe isn’t a clean, predictable machine — it’s *random*, like a cosmic slot machine spinning infinite possibilities 🎰✨.

And yet, somehow, from that randomness… order *emerges*.

How?

### 🧬 Enter: **Replication**

In the swirling soup of quantum foam, random patterns appear.

Every now and then, one of those patterns gets lucky — it can **copy itself** 🔁.

### 🧪 Then: **Evolution**

Copies that survive in their environment get to stick around.

The rest? Gone.

That’s natural selection, even at the molecular level 🌱⚖️.

### 🧠 Finally: **Order from Chaos**

The universe *looks* ordered because what survives is what *works*.

But the raw fuel underneath? Still random.

What seems deterministic is just **billions of years of error correction** 🔧.

You flip a coin:

- Heads.

- Tails.

- Heads.

- Heads.

Too many heads? That’s not chance — it’s a loaded coin 🎯.

The more predictable something becomes, the more it’s shaped by history… not randomness.

So, **how does something come from nothing?**

✨ **Randomness births a copy.**

🔁 **The copy survives = replication.**

🔬 **The copy grows = evolution.**

🏆 **The copy fits = selection.**

The universe didn’t need a blueprint.

It needed a spark, some chaos… and the power to repeat 🔄.

And from that?

🌌 *Everything.*
