Once again, the turtles story. Turtles all the way down. When will physicists learn to tell a new story?

I was looking forward to some fresh ideas about why there is something rather than nothing. Instead I learned fresh ideas about the distribution of energy in the universe, which is fascinating, but not informative about the primary question.

I get his argument, the sum of energy in the universe has been accounted for, so there is no need to invoke a creator. Fine, don't invoke a creator. But why is there something rather than nothing?
