In a 1996 essay, “Why Is There Anything at All?” I examined an argument for the conclusion that the probability of there being nothing was 0. My former student Dustin Crummett has recently shown that one of the premises of that ar-gument is demonstrably false. In the present essay, I present a weaker version of the argument, the conclusion of which is that the probability of there being nothing is at most infinitesimal. I show that this version does not depend on the premise Crum-mett showed to be false, and I suggest, finally, a reason for supposing that another of the argument’s premises is open to serious doubt.
