As we've said, "nothing" doesn't become matter as we know it (protons, electrons, neutrons, and quarks) because these particles all have different weights and qualities. The closest particle we have to nothing is the neutrino (no charge or weight to speak of), and the only force acting on a neutrino is gravity. Ten trillion neutrinos from the sun go through your body every second, and they don't even tickle. So let's pretend the nit in our neighborhood of the universe is a subneutrino, one of the supernothings. In the tables below, we'll bow to tradition and use the term natural selection rather than our preference, natural elimination.

In "The Beginning"
1) Some "nothing" splits into a subneutrino surrounded by a little ball of space.
2) Some more nothing splits into a subfat surrounded by a little ball of space right next to the space of the subneutrino.
Is this better than nothing? Yes, sort of.

Is this better than the subneutrino? Don't know yet, but it's nice to have a place to stretch our legs. Distance exists.
About 1012 years go by. The universe has space and distance with subneutrinos, subfats, subtinies, subquirks, and subsanwidges scattered around. These evolved particles all fall in different directions according to the laws of gravity. Which of these is the smallest? It's an important question because the smallest ones have the best chance to build up high speeds before they run into something else. Hey, the smallest are the subneutrinos, the ones I was rooting for. When they hit something with such high speed they merge with it creating something completely new or split it into what it used to be, just as cosmic rays and cyclotrons may be doing.
