https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_M._Krauss

"In his book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather 
than Nothing (2012), Krauss discusses the premise that something cannot 
come from nothing, which has often been used as an argument for the 
existence of a prime mover. He has since argued in a debate with John 
Ellis and Don Cupitt that the laws of physics allow for the universe to 
be created from nothing. "What would be the characteristics of a 
universe that was created from nothing, just with the laws of physics 
and without any supernatural shenanigans? The characteristics of the 
universe would be precisely those of the ones we live in." [32] In an 
interview with The Atlantic, however, he states that he has never 
claimed that "questions about origins are over." According to Krauss, "I 
don't ever claim to resolve that infinite regress of 
why-why-why-why-why; as far as I'm concerned it's turtles all the way 
down."[33]"

I dont think i would want to read/listen to him,  tons of conjecture,
