What causes the Big Bang in this scenario?
1 comments

Basically, the way I understand it, is the probability of a Big Bang spontaneously occurring (due to the quantum fluctuations) is some godawful infinitesimally low number 0.00000...1 that for all intents and purposes is 0, but is NOT zero.

So given ungodly eons of time (googleplex ^ googleplex * graham's number, etc. of years) something with a very, very, very low probability becomes inevitable.
