TIf you are talking about a vacuum as Physics you would be referring to space void of matter, or a place where the pressure is so low that any particles in the space do not affect any processes being caried on there.
That rules out any particle appearing and causing the universe to exist.
No it does not. since virtual particles love poping in to exsistance in vacuums.
And they dont need any cause to do so there is just a chance that they might and so they do.
everything on the quantum scale works on a wave of probability or chance, and untill you actually take a look at what is happening thats all anything is on such a small scale a wawe of chance or probability. Its only when you look that particles and everything else become real.
If you shoot atoms trough 2 slits, untill you actually look trough witch hole the atom went the atom was only a wave of probability and went trough both holes then the wawe colides with itself and forms an interference pattern of collisions with the detector behind the slits. But if you check trough what hole the atoms goe they go trough just one hole and form a 2 stripe pattern on the detector.
In essence i think the universe came to be because there was a chance it could or a probability it could form. No cause or causer needed. Even no laws of physic need not be broken as long as the net energy of the universe or universes poping in to exsistence is 0. Or in math terms +1-1+2-2+3-3=0 But that does not mean the numbers being added up dont exsist.
