Why is there something rather than nothing?

On the one of the greatest questions in philosophy

One of the greatest questions in philosophy is: "Why is there something rather than nothing?" Answers to this question have been unsatisfactory, despite every generation of philosophers (and not only philosophers) grappling with it for over two thousand years.

In my opinion, the reason for this ineffectiveness is that the question pertains to metareality, but attempts to answer it are limited by the perspective of our reality, which is only a microscopic fragment of metareality.

In the context of our reality, questions about why something exists—like an object or an animal—make sense because non-existence is common and existence is rare. For example, when we look at the night sky, we see a vast emptiness very rarely filled with stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. Similarly, here on Earth, when we see an object more complex than a rock or a clump of soil, we naturally ask—how did it come into being? Was it through evolution, created by human hands, or perhaps a geological process? Since the question is justified for almost everything we perceive, we assume we can also ask it in the case of the Universe.

However, the difference is that everything we perceive was created within the Universe. The Universe, however, is the only object we perceive that was "created" in metareality. This is a significant difference that, unfortunately, is hardly appreciated. It leads to the conclusion that the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" probably doesn't make sense.

The reason is that while in our Universe non-existence is common and fundamental, and existence is rare and derivative, in metareality, existence is fundamental and common, and non-existence arises only in the context of created beings, for example, in the form it takes in our Universe—empty space. Therefore, the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" loses its meaning—existence in metareality is simply more fundamental than non-existence; it is the only option that exists.

If we don't understand this, it's only because we know only reality but not metareality. If we could somehow break free from the reality that limits us and encompass metareality with our gaze, we would see that we are asking this question based on our narrow, limited reality, and it does not apply to metareality itself.
