Hey, welcome back :-)

The basis of these arguments is along the lines if you were to mix matter with anti-matter you get nothing therefore it must be possible to move the other way around... The universe is in a constant state of flux

... called "quantum fluctuation".

Reality as we know is simply an illusion.

Err. Is that your contribution to quantum theory? :-)

I think it was Hawking (may be Penrose?) who argued these fluctuations around the boundary of a black hole can create something out of nothing because one of the twine pairs can be sucked into the black hole before it can find its twin counterpart and annihilate it.

Hawking. In his book "A Brief History Of Time". This is how he explains the phenomenon of radiation observed from the event horizon of a black hole.
