If folks would learn just a "wee" bit more regarding the weirdness inherent in quantum physics, they would quit asking the annoyingly anthropomorphic question:
"Why is there something rather than nothing?"
One could just as easily ask "Why do we think it intuitively proper to ask the above question?" as opposed to the counterpart "Why would nothing be the default state of the universe?"

well, remember...'nothing' doesn't technically exist. it would
potentially exist if it weren't labelled, but giving it a label,
semantically speaking, makes it a 'thing'...therefore, 'nothing' is
really 'some thing'. so if the intellectual concept of 'nothing' is
in existence, then the physical concept of 'nothing' doesn't exist,
otherwise there wouldn't be a word for it.
semantically speaking...
nothing; syn.: void, null, nihl, vaccuum, etc...
