Discover the intriguing concept where the total energy of the universe is precisely zero, balancing positive mass/energy with negative gravity energy. Explore the idea that the entire universe might have originated as a quantum fluctuation. Dive into the implications of DEDt=constant and DE=0. Delve into the fascinating world of cosmic energy equilibrium.

THE ULTIMATE FREE LUNCH. • Total Energy of the Universe. • Mass/Energy is positive (mc2 + radiation). • Gravity energy is negative (gravitational potential energy). • In a flat universe, these two types of energy exactly balance and the total energy of the universe is zero. • The Universe as a Quantum Fluctuation. • DEDt = constant implies that Dt is infinite if DE = 0. • The entire universe could be a quantum fluctuation of the vacuum (Edward Tryon, 1973).
