If energy can neither be created nor destroyed then?

Question

how it came into being? Sorry for that stupid question.

Answer 1

Not stupid. Effectively what is being asked by many scientists now.
What you are asking is a non-science (not to be confused with a nonsense) science doesn't have the answer yet. However consider this. Lets say some kind of influence created energy; once that is known about then someone like yourself will ask "what created that influence that created energy" and so on and so on. Some things seem to have an origin beyond cause and effect; Ie before or just imediately after the big bang. If you follow the logic of what made what made what made what you have to conclude that something always was or that time (effect follows cause) had a begining. I hope my tirednes isn't making me write drivel and that this helped.

Answer 2

It is not a stupid question.

The thing is you cannot get any reasonable answer including my answer.

The universe consists of infinite amount of energy; when we try to destroy one form of energy it comes out in another form.

If I claim that I have created a new form of energy which no human being has so far observed, you will say, " No. You have not created new energy, but you have discovered a new type of energy"

Thus human experience tells us that no energy can be created nor destroyed.

This every one will accept.

But the question remains, " How it came into existence?"

Was there any SUPER POWER which createed this?

If yes then the question again follows who created the SUPER POWER?

But the usual answer will be since it is a super power no other power is necessary to creat it.

If we accept this answer, my question is, "Why can't we accept the answer that in the universe there is infinite amount of energy and there is no need for the energy to be created by some other super power because it itself is a super power"

Thus there is no reasonable answer to your question and no human being can give you a logical answer.

Answer 3

Energy can be created nor destroyed according to the law of conservation that states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be trasfered from one form to another.
Energy is generated when voltage is used along with current and all.

Answer 4

Energy neither is created nor destroyed in physical and chemical reactions. In these kinds of reactions, such as burning, the energy is transformed from one form to other form.
But in atomic fission and fusion material is destroyed and energy is created! For example in the Sun, in its high temperature, two Hydrogen atoms undergo fusion and create one Helium atom and energy. The mass of two Hydrogen atoms is less than the mass of the products! The lost mass is destroyed, and photon, which is a unit of energy, is created. I know that in some special conditions energy can destroy and create material.

Answer 5

The Universe did not come into being by itself=this is a biblical scientific postulate .
Energy does not exist until an interaction occurs. The same applies to force.
The postulate that you quote is a little out dated.

Answer 6

That's the question of the year, isn't it? I guess that's what the whole debate is about: did some sort of god create the universe, or was there a big bang type ordeal? I don't think anyone can really answer that, unfortunately.

Answer 7

It's definately not stupid, I mean it is one of the misteries of science. Energy had to be created at some point, if not we'd be saying that is was always there.

Answer 8

It's all about transformation. Movement can be transformed into energy, same with heat.

And, of course, every single thing existing contains energy. Gravitation is "pure" energy...

Answer 9

It is not a stupid question. It is THE question that scientisit are trying to find out too. The most famous answer is the Big Bang thoery.

Answer 10

Energy is changed from one form to another.
