Universe/Something comically comes out of Nothing

This is presented as a conversation or discussion between the two friends Kri and Udh:

Kri: Hey Udh, Universe came from Nothing.

Udh: No, it did not.

Udh: Universe came from something, something always comes from something.

Kri: Where did that something, from which Universe came, come into being then?

Udh: Well, even that something came from something else.

Kri: And where did that come from?

Udh: From something else.

Kri: So, it all goes back forever?

Udh: Yes. But, it does not necessarily have to be an infinite series of unique events/things. It can even be finite number of unique events or something and be cyclic, you know.

Kri: Hmm…. But isn’t universe this whole everything in itself?

Isn’t that every “something”, be it in infinite numbers or finite number of them, all included in the thing called the “Universe”?

Doesn’t Universe, by definition, contain all of those somethings?

Udh: Hmm…. Yes.

Kri: So, the universe or call it everything or call it all of or whole of the something(s), be it infinite in number or finite in number, came from Nothing?

Udh: No, they’re eternal, they don’t come from anything, or rather they come from themselves.

Kri: Exactly my point you see, they come from nothing. They don’t come from anything, means they come from Not a thing, i.e. they come from Nothing.

Udh: No, they come from themselves, they don’t come from nothing.

Kri: For it to come out of itself, it must pre-exist itself, which sounds like a contradiction. But even ignoring that, say it comes out of itself. Let’s agree on that. But then coming out of itself to itself is not “coming out” at all. Also not coming out is “not coming out”, not coming out is not “coming out”.

If that coming out is not coming out, then that’s a contradiction as well.

Udh: Oh!, I guess so.

Kri: So, the universe or all of everything didn’t come out of itself as well, and didn’t come out of anything.

Udh: Yes, I think that’s true.

Kri: So, the universe came out of, NOTHING.

Kri: In other words, Universe came out of NOTHING. Well, it’s not really, “in other words”, but what I meant was in “other tone”.

Udh: But, Universe is a necessary thing, it exists simply because it’s necessary.

Kri: Again my point, it is necessary so it wouldn’t have come from anything else, and it cannot come from itself, so in general, it cannot come from anything, so it just ‘is’. And that in other words again means, Universe came from NOTHING, not-a-thing.

Udh: Wha….What! Hmm…. I think so, what?, Damn!
