How did the universe originate?No religious type answers please.?

Answer 1

This is probably the best explanation I can give you:

The big bang theory basicaly states that at one point, there was a huge ammount of energy that clashed with itself into a given point. Through various experiments, it has been proven that clashing highly mobile sources of energetic particles can result in genesis, in the formation of matter and anti matter. This means that this energy was transformed into matter (matter is basicaly just energy trapped into the form of an atom, giving curvature to the universe, and therefore having mass). The matter, as we know it today, shot towards 1 direction from the bang, and the anti matter into the other. Theoreticaly there should be the same ammount of matter as there is antimatter in the universe. There are galaxies just like ours out there made up of antimatter, and would look virtualy the same. If these galaxies were to come together, they would turn back into the energy, since the reaction of 1 atom of hydrogen, and 1 antihydrogen atom result in the release of a photon (energy basicaly put). The universe was made this way.

P.S. A Wood's answer is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. First of all, the big bang does not state that it came from nothing, and second of all, the law of conservation of mass and energy is not newtonian law.... Jesus... such ignorance out there...

Answer 2

Edwin frend the universe never started because it has no begining no end it is rather like emptying a glass of water into other.
One glass is the universe and the other too and transfer goes by WORM HOLES theses gives rise to the term MULTIVERSE that is there are many universe connected by wormholes and also something can come out of nothing but nothing here is singularity remember there is no space empty at all because every where there is a feild gravitational field electromagnetic field or other and the quantum mechanics suggests that due to irregularities in field values with time particles and antiparticles can krep out and if they do not inhhalate they will form the mater or the universe

Answer 3

No one knows. This is one of the 'big questions' that we don't have answers to as yet, along with "Are we alone?" and "What is the ultimate purpose or destiny of humanity?"

Based on the microwave background radiation, a tremendous explosion occurred about 13 billion years ago and the expansion and formation of the universe began. First the elementary particles formed protons, electrons, and neutrons. Then those combined to form Deuterium which started to collect under the force of gravity and stars started to be born. Later on the first stars died and released the heavier elements into the universe that resulted in the formation of planets. And here we are. Beyond that we have little clue as to the 'why' of the big bang and the 'what' of what was here before it.

As to whether God created it? Well, I'll grant the religious types that answer if they'll answer my simple question of who/what created God?

Answer 4

That is a tough one to answer, because regardless of how many super geniuses you put in one room, they will never come to a conclusion on how the universe started. But, from what I know, is that it was a bunch of molecules consisting of protons, neutron and electrons floating in space, and because these molecules have energy they got super heated and collided into each other forming a bond that was harder to break and when the molecules finally cooled off they were bonded into particles that can be seen. Now if that happens at slowly but surely, then over the course of time you would have a galaxy, which would then lead to the universe. If you go to wikipedia and search Universe you will see it there. But basically, everything originated from molecules, each molecule has some sort of an energy and these energies bond to form a particle and it continues on.

Answer 5

The simple answer is the Big Bang. At one point all matter, energy, and (according to Einstein) time was contained within an infinitely small "space." This is referred to as universal time "0". At time 0+1 all that matter and energy began expanding out at the speed of light creating the entire universe.

Questions such as what was before the Big Bang, what caused, what is the universe expanding into if it contains time and space, etc. is addressed by a field of study called Cosmology; sort of theoretical physics meets philosophy. A good book on all of these issues is Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time." It's a very readable book written by the world's best respected theoretical physicist.

Answer 6

There is of course the "Big Bang" theory that the last star exploded, causing everthing around it to turn to dust. Then, large parts of dust were compacted into large rocks, which had more gravity to pull in more dust to become bigger. While all the planets formed like this, the new star is born, holding all of the rocks and dust near it. Some rocks only got so big, like in the asteroid belt, while others got huge, and contains lots of dust, and turned into a gas giant, like Jupiter. Many scientists believe that Jupiter was the first planet, so it gathered the most dust before any other planet could gather more dust.

Answer 7

Have u heard of the BIG BANG theory?
if not go to www.islam-guide.com
currently the big bang theory is widely accepted by astronomers for the origin of universe.this theory contends that about 15 billion years ago the universe began with the explosive expansion of a single extremely dense mater,the primordial mass.

Answer 8

By refusing to accept a religous answer, you refuse to accept the right answer. I am not talking about Christian Creationism. I am talking about the TRUE nature of the universe, which can only be described with metaphysical terminolgy because no words exist in science to fully describe it. The closest thing in science to describe it is quantum mechanics and the hypothesis' of those who study it. However, even their ideas and terminolgy is incomplete. If you want to know the truth, email me (sallymarlyn at yahoo.com).

Answer 9

One theory is the Big Bang Theory. It states that all the matter in the universe came from a single pin-prick of energy. It is basically the reverse reaction of e=mc2.

Answer 10

How can anyone ask a question then limit the answers? That turns open forum to a closed one. If it were Big Bang, where did the material for the Bang come from? DOG if I know !
