i looked on non familiar matter as something that wasn't there before which in turn i saw as something that came from nothing.
I understood your question. I have no other answer.

Oh all right. In the Big Bang model, a quark-and-gluon soup preceded the formation of atoms. This is the "unfamiliar matter" I referred to -- unfamiliar to everyone but supercollider operators, that is. But matter is implied at any stage of the Big Bang by the energy alone, since matter and energy are interconvertible (e=mc2). So I'd expect that a patch empty of matter would need colossal energy to bang out a new universe.
If you're really curious, buy the paper and I'll help figure it out.
