When? 13.7 billion years ago. How? Well think about it like this: There was empty space forever and ever. Sometimes empty space has flucuations in energy. So a photon of light will appear one place and an antiphoton somewhere else. Entirely random, and in net there is no energy. But randomly this zero energy state will split into a positive and negative and then annihilate back to zero. Well this was going on forever until one day, randomly, a bunch of photons appeared in the same vicinity and voila! Energy turns into mass, and mass explodes into outerspace. (E = mc^2) Still today, the mass continues to travel outward in what we call 'expansion' of the universe. Beyond the mass, lies the original open space.

Some 20 billion years ago there was only 'nothing', a 'nothing, about which we do know nothing. It was literally 'nothing', because nothing which we know today ( name anything you like- sky, space, gravity etc) existed. Some called it 'God' for want of a better term. Because, we assume that it always existed, it is & it will. Suddenly, it started 'becoming' all that we know today.

The Google answers people should have an answer to this and any other worldly secrets.
That is, if you're willing to pay them.
