I have no knowledge of astrophysics or astronomy. However, when some one tries to answer they need to think beyond "unified theory", "big bang", blackholes. Dust to dust (stellar) concept amuses me to levels acceptable . Matters mundane force me forsake the quest. I was on, in and under sea but "at sea" part I leave it to others. Do give me an answer.

The scientific theory is that the Universe started as a fluctuation of the vacuum. Such vacuum fluctuations make appear a small amount of energy, for a small time. This phenomenon, which appears randomly, is responsible for the existence of forces, that hold the Universe and matter together.
Normally the bigger the energy fluctuation, the smaller the time it is in existence.
Not so the Big Bang. That was a HUGE fluctuation. So big that a lot of energy came to appearance in the form of mass, elementary particles. These particles started expanding, before the vacuum could reclaim the energy.
And it is still expanding today. 14 billion years later.

Why? may be an unanswerable question.
Even How?will probably always be only a guess.
An analysis of the question may shed some light on it.
We live in a dispassionate universe which someway developed the capacity to become aware of itself.
It can now ask "Why?"
Philosophers may be your best chance at an answer.
The question does not seem to yield to logic.
"Why?" An event took place that simply had to run its course,some where in its evolution it asked "why?"

Why is there something rather than nothing?
Physics has no answer to this.
One possible answer is that there was always something. We have no problem with a future eternity, so why not a past eternity as well? Then there is no origin. Seems more likely than something coming from nothing.

There is no reason! It's contrary to everything we think of as common sense, but quantum events such as the Big Bang don't have a cause!

The answer is 36. You just need to figure out what the question is.

No one knows why the universe began.

Because it was important! I mean, think of it this way -- where would we be without it?!
