چکیده
پس از ارائه نظریه‌های جدید کیهان‌شناسی در فیزیک، یعنی دو نظریه رقیب مهبانگ[1]و حالت پایدار[2]، دو مفهوم «خلق از عدم عالم»[3] و «خلق مدام ماده از عدم»[4]از اواسط قرن بیستم وارد حیطه علوم تجربی شدند. آدولف گرونباؤم[5]، فیلسوف علم شهیر معاصر تلاش کرده است نظریه حالت پایدار را به گونه‌ای تعبیر کند که خلق مدام ماده از عدم در این نظریه به صورت کاملاً فیزیکی قابل توضیح و تبیین باشد. در این مقاله نشان داده می‌شود که تعبیر گرونباؤم دست کم با سه مشکل مواجه است: عدم تمایز بین علت فاعلی و علت مادی؛ ناسازگاری درونی؛ و تعبیر نادرست از قانون بقای چگالی.

چکیده [English]
Some physicists, notably Adolf Grünbaum, have claimed that the process of formation of new matter in the steady state theory can be explained purely physically. In effect, the central idea of this approach is that the laws of nature such as density-conservation are sufficient causes of the continuous creation of matter out of nothing. In this paper, however, it will be shown that this approach encounters insoluble problems, and the process of “creatio continua” of new matter out of nothing in the steady-state theory cannot be explained physically.
