Vacuum genesis

Edward Tryon, in the audience, was seized by an idea and blurted "Maybe the universe is a vacuum fluctuation."

Zero-energy universe

It originated in 1973, when Edward Tryon proposed in the Nature journal that the Universe may have emerged from a large-scale quantum fluctuation of vacuum energy, resulting in its positive mass-energy being exactly balanced by its negative gravitational potential energy.
