Who or what created the stars or the first quantum of energy that then created the elements after the big bang

Question

"energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be changed from one form to the other "Now some scientist and knowledgeable people from this site tried to tell me that all elements were created from the energy then the stars resulted in 91 known elements . They are sure hydrogen and helium origins but they are only composed of hydrogen and oxygen elements . what of the other 89 known elements .who created the stars that contained these other elements in them . What caused the first spark that ignited the first big bang . For something to be present it must come from somewhere , where is my question ?

Answer 1

Obviously the wording "who created..." leads to a nonsense answer.

As for the production of the heavier elements, that happened through fusion reactions inside the stars. I think - I'm not certain - that stellar fusion is responsible for all of the heavier elements, though I suppose that some Helium and maybe Lithium could have been formed through fusion of Hydrogen and Helium elsewhere (that's a SWAG, BTW).

I don't think that we really know right now what started it all, but I think that the two leading contenders are "it really DOES appear from nothingness" and "it always existed". I can't imagine any other possibilities.

Answer 2

We don't know anything about the environment outside of this universe, if there was one, that allowed this universe to come into existence. We don't know what, if any, kind of causality rules applied to that outer universe if it existed.

We may never know.

We do know how the elements came about. After the Big Bang, the universe expanded which caused the average temperature to be less. This allowed atoms to form out of the energy. The first atoms were hydrogen, because they were the simplest. Later, gravity pulled the gasses into stars. Fusion in the stars caused the hydrogen to become helium then heavier elements.

Even your statement that "For something to be present it must come from somewhere" is false. Physicists now think you can get something from nothing as long as the net energy is zero, such as with Hawking Radiation and virtual particles.

Answer 3

Thats the big question! Fluctuations in the non-ether isn't mch of an answer for the first millimicro second.
The other elements in stars were created by the standard nuclear fusion cycle
true the first generation of stars would have been only hydrogen/helium but would also only lasted a short time (millions not billions of years). the higher order elements would occur in larger amounts each time through the stellar fusor. But that first imbalance in the fabric of whatever it was that the universe exists in is anyones guess. It is the physics equivalent of asking christians if you have to go to church in heaven to worship whoever made god as surely god came from somewhere so his creator must be worshiped., (assuming it wasn't men who invented god).

Answer 4

The big bang could not have had a cause. Cause and Effect require time. Time began with the big bang.

Now, there are many extrinsic theories (collapsing vacuum energy, cyclic universes, etc...) that describe a metadimensional time in which the universe is just one point of many. None of these can be tested, so they remain nothing but hypothesis. However, the fact is, it is just as concievable that all of reality just EXISTS in the same way that you ascribe to your creator.

So no, there doesn't HAVE to be a god because we exist. Existence is insufficient proof of an intelligent creator.

Your comment about a 'spark' proves that you know nothing of the workings of the big bang. It was *NOT* an explosion in the classical sense. It was the sudden formation of a LOT of spacetime and matter all at once. It was not 'ohhhh, here's something, let's blow it up now'.

Answer 5

"E H " diverse religions say somewhat some issues with regards to the creation of this universe. Scientist says it became created via huge bang. I accept as true with your question that if it became created with a bang then what became there earlier this ? As a Muslim i've got self assurance Allah (God we Muslims have self assurance in) created this universe and all different issues. So diverse human beings have diverse opinion yet for me no longer something became like huge bang. Allah created this all.

Answer 6

Do some research on nuclear fusion. Other than that, everything has a cause, the big bang most probably has a cause. Just because we don't know what it was doesn't mean it was some god, it just means we don't know yet.

Answer 7

Where is your question indeed. If you'd like to know what the catalyst of the universe was, why don't you ask God? Then wait patiently for an answer. I'm sure he'll get around to you.
