Why is there something rather than nothing? (Humans)

Did anyone here se Jim Al-Khalilli's programmes on "Everything and Nothing" which summarised the modern physics understanding of these terms? There's only two days left to see "Nothing" though! He interprets it in terms of quantum theory as a void in which matter and antimatter particles keep appearing and disappearing as quantum fluctuations, in accordance with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Dirac's equation.-http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zw0n6-Does dhw really want some examples of things that really exist? His mind must be in a perpetual state of fog, with everything around him fluctuating in and out of existence. Is this a table I see before me?
