Where did the matter come from to make the big bang?

Question

Where did the first stars come from? There are multiple big bangs? Can something come out of nothing?

Answer 1

Matter did not come from anywhere. Energy acting like matter may be a better way of looking at it.

I know, It looks like matter to me too, But science religion and spirituality are all pointing to a different answer. I think that We need to ignore perception on this one and think a bit outside the box.

Answer 2

There are not just protons, neutrons, electrons, photons, positrons and other subatomic particles. There are anti-protons, anti-neutrons, etc. Unlike sci-fi movies where characters split into two selves (eg. Kirk on Star Dreck), matter actually did split into matter and anti-matter.

Stars occur when enough material and enough gravity cause the core to collapse and the hydrogen ignite in thermonuclear reaction, creating helium and giving off rays (alpha, beta, gamma). Many scientists and astronomers consider Jupiter to be a failed star, that it didn't have enough material or generate enough gravity.

Yes, there could have been multiple big bangs. There's some suggestion that the one that made us is not the first, theorized because of the amount of heavy atoms in the universe (eg. iron, lead, etc.) which are usually produced in supernovae.

Was anybody there to see it? Of course not. But nobody was there to see "god" or "gods" 'create' the universe. Which one is more plausible: the one that sounds like a bedtime story, or the one which is theory based on verified facts?

Nobody knows yet, although cosmologists are stil searching.

<>
They formed from condensing clouds of gas, same as all the other stars, except that the first stars were almost all hydrogen and helium, without the heavier elements found in later-generation stars.

There's only one we can be sure of right now.

Since nothing cannot exist, the question is invalid.

Answer 4

The "matter" that fills our universe existed in the complex 11 dimensions "super universe" in a form of membranes, when these membranes collided, which was the BB, some of this "matter" unfolded to only 3 dimensions and spread, changed it's form to create the matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy which constitute our universe. the first stars appeared nearly 1/2 billion years after the BB. some theorists claim that the BB was a series of Bangs.

Answer 5

Why the big bang came about, and what (if anything) existed before it, is unknown and probably unknowable. Pretty much any scientist specializing in that stuff will tell you so.

That doesn't mean that god exists, or that god doesn't exist. All it means is that we don't know.

There's nothing wrong with answering a question with "I don't know". Personally, I think that's a much better answer than spinning some fanciful tale that's unsupported by evidence.

Answer 6

The world didn't "start." Matter and/or energy have always existed. It has to be for there can be no such thing as nothing. Nothing means No-thing and no theory can account for a state of nothingness.

God certainly don't get you off the hook. God just adds one to the problem of infinite regression. If you wonder how the world could have started then you should equally wonder how god could have started and then what started the god that started that god ...ad infintum.

The explanation is simple. Matter and/or energy has always existed (it has to be) and things change over time (we see this all around).

Answer 7

With the occurence of the big bang, the whole universe is still expanding up till this day.All moves away from a single point.

It is We who have built the universe with (Our creative) power, and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. (The Qur'an, 51:47)

Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (The Qur'an, 21:30)

Answer 8

Ex nilo---out of nothing. This is impossible for us to understand, but it is the only logical action. The idea of multiple big bangs is science's futile attempt to explain the existence of the universe apart from God.

Answer 9

Where is the end point of the universe? If you can answer this question which relates to the time being, you should be able to answer your question. There are many similar questions that can not be answered.

Answer 10

The Big Bang is conjecture at best and myth at worst.

Perhaps the universe always was.
