This thought originally came out of the idea that "everything came from nothing" which seems to be a central debate no matter what level of regression your beliefs allow you to envision. This topic is probably better categorized under philosophy, although I wanted some professional mathematicians to tell me where I might be wrong...
So, without necessarily assuming there was a "beginning" to anything, I'm starting this thought experiment at zero. Rather than thinking of zero in its traditional sense (that of being nothing) we can actually think of zero as being infinitely vast in its nothingness. You might assume that an infinity of nothingness is still nothing, although that assumption overlooks the incomprehensible nature of infinity. Georg Cantor was one of the first to really embrace the concept of infinity for what it really is, which is limitlessness within limitlessness taken to infinity. It's a difficult concept to struggle with which is probably why Cantor went insane...
A concept that I can't seem to shake (and if you detect a flaw, please elaborate) is the idea that zero divide by infinity allows for all possibilities. Consider 0/1=0, 0/2=0 ... , all the way up to 0/∞=0. Regardless of the denominator, 0 divided by anything is still zero. But, taking into consideration the limitless nature of infinity, zero divided by infinity creates limitless possibilities for something within nothing.
I bolster this point with the idea that physicists speculate that sum over all energy within our own universe is actually equal to zero. The positive balances the negative which makes us a null equation. If you take the nothingness of our universe and insert it into one of the infinite fractions of zero, the equation still balances to zero.
Just so that people can wrap their heads around this concept, I'm suggesting that something may be possible when you take 0/∞/∞/∞/∞/∞/∞/∞/∞/∞..../∞. Zero may be nothing, but when examined on an infinitely small scale, there is always the possibility for something...
(Please put this idea to rest because it's been bothering me for a while...)
