WHY IS THERE ANY MATTER, is GOD really creator?

Question

i mean why is the universe here?

Answer 1

The God has created us and that too is an illusion in true words (because this world around is a dream spanning our so called life time). What matter we see in this world is due to Time and space which are the concepts of this world but as per vedas there is no time and space concept at all. It is through MAAYA what we see in this world. Actual truth is oneness with GOD, NATURE OR ALMIGHTY whatever you may want to call it. Time & Space is therefore a concept with this physical body and not with the Soul, God or Truth....which is nothing but eternal peace..or AKHAND ANAND or oneness with that Supreme!!

God is not something to be seen, it is something to be felt within....and that is the eternal bliss!!!!!

Answer 2

That's easy: there is matter in the universe because, a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang, there was a Universe-wide Higgs field that got stretched into a below-zero energy state. Since Higgs bosons are responsible for gravity, a negative-energy Higgs field acts like phenomenally powerful anti-gravity. Within a vanishing fraction of a second the Universe went from smaller than an atom to larger than the current size of the Solar System, driven by the Higgs field. But the negative-energy state was highly unstable so it snapped back to zero energy very soon; this released enormous amounts of energy that condensed into all of the matter visible in the Universe today.

The Big Bang happened because it seemed like a good idea at the time. However, since spacetime is a property of the Universe there was no time and no space before the Big Bang -- so the first sentence of this paragraph is devoid of meaning.

Answer 3

That's really an R&S or Philosophy question. Physics doesn't answer 'why'.

But the answer is, 'because it was necessary', and yes, God is Creator because HE is necessary, knowing what we do of the Big Bang.

Oh, and the universe was NOT 'always here'. We've known that for decades.

Answer 4

Matter is here because God put it here. God put matter and us here because he desires to have relationships with us.

I believe this question does belong in the physics category because physics is a study of the way things work and why they work. In physics we go so far in the study of the nature of the universe, but science always comes to a dead end. I believe it comes to a dead end because the deeper into physics you go, the closer to the answer you get, and the answer is God. But God himself can't be studied in physics because he is not physical. But we can figure out many aspects and attributes of God by studying the universe/physics.

Take the wind for example. You can't get a sample of the wind and study it, but you can study it's effects, you can learn it's nature, you can figure out where it's been from the evidence it leaves behind in it's path. That's how it is with God.

God is the ultimate answer to physics and the universe.

Answer 5

That is a very old and deep, and IMO extremely scary question.

Why is there something instead of nothing?

Sometimes I imagine that if I just stopped believing in the universe, it would all vanish into its native non-existence. No people, no matter, no space no time no God no existence of any kind. Then I have to think about something else to get that horrible idea out of my head! How crazy is that?

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure I'm stealing this from a movie, but I could be stealing it from somewhere else. (Like Quantum Leap)

Imagine a million sided die. If you rolled that, the chances of any one side coming up are 1 in a million. But 1 of them is still going to come up.

So wether you believe in God, Destiny, Fate, Big Bang, Little Bang, Mother Nature, Intelligent Design, or the Green force, someone or something rolled the dice....

I personally think the reason was to give people a question no one can answer.

Answer 7

You are right in asking "Is there any matter?" When a person considers the passing of events and the unknown value of our physical universe, perhaps the question arising is "What is matter?" as much as, "Does it exist?" If we learn what matter is, perhaps we shall understand the possibility of it having been created.

The substance of matter has to do with that of physical time. We are composed of physical time. It is for this reason all events pass from the present into the past at the same rate, no matter the energy involved or the mass involved. There is the physics trilogy that describes this passing of time, and what the basis is of all mass and energy forms. It is, E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. Notice that in all these thoughts that the only value that remains unchanging is that of the "c2" value. This is what we are composed of, a particular velocity having as its basis a particular energy value composing it, that of "h". The value of "c2" describes that our physical existence is equal to that of the "c2" duration, and how quickly the present flows into becoming our past. It shows that all physical existence has but present time only and there is no value between it and our past or future. All that exists is present time, and that duration is never static.

Our universe was all created in the same instant of time. There is no manner whereby mass may be composed of electromagnetic energy in order for us to exist as we do, but by an act of creation.

Answer 8

The universe was always here in some form. Saying god made it just moves the question to why is god here and you will give the same answer. It isn't reasonable to add an extra layer of complexity without evidence.

Answer 9

When you frame it as a 'why' question instead of a 'how' question, you are really asking something about yourself more than the universe.

In general, things are as they are because they could be no other way. We can imagine other ways, but our own imaginings are just that, possibilities we make up for our own entertainment.

This is why science is such a powerful method. We go out and see how the universe is, not as we would imagine it to be.

Answer 10

Who cares? It IS here and that's really all that matters.
