The matter-gravity system is examined in a path integral approach for the case of conformal matter coupled to a Friedman-Robertson-Walker space time. In particular the case of gravitational potentials of interest in cosmology for which the universe tunnels from a small radius is examined. It is observed that in the presence of such gravitational horizons the universe evolves in a complex time and it is shown how a classical time and temperature emerge. Correspondingly, one will have compensating quantum and thermal fluctuations for the matter and gravity system and it is noted that the unstable mode of gravity corresponding to the universe tunneling into existence will be compensated by an analogous mode for matter corresponding to its creation. This last point is examined in a simple De Sitter model with conformal matter and a relation is found between the cosmological constant, the number of matter fields and the self coupling of matter responsable for its instability.
