Existence has no alternative, and it exists by tautological necessity.
Existence and energy are the same thing.
Energy exists by tautological necessity.
The default condition for existence is energy in random distribution and in random flux.
Random distribution and flux do not preclude order: they merely make order improbable.
Given a sufficient number of permutations, an ordered, quasi-stable condition can be randomly created.
The mechanism involved is the superposition of vacuum fluctuations, to the extent that an event horizon forms around a transient aggregation of energy. The aggregation drops into a causally isolated spacetime region. Once there, the energy seeks to relax by changing state, forming a new spacetime, matter particles, radiation, and force associations in the process.

But the ultimate source of energy is the nature of tautology. Energy is existence, and existence exists because it has no alternative. Nothing exists, except what exists.

there was no " beginning" to the universe. It has always been. It goes forever and will always exist. The big bang was just a local event in our little corner of the universe. There have been many big bangs and some where bigger than others. What caused it is unknown at this point in our technological time line. Many theories have been put forward. The most laughable is the one that goes something like.... ...
Before the big bang, there was nothing. Everything , including time started at a point, which for some reason eludes most scientist to be able to be pointed to, and within an instant everything we see and beyond came into being.
Interesting concept, but people will believe this easier than the fact that the universe has been here forever, goes forever and will always exist . If you doubt my words, then bring this idea up at an astronomical forum where some of the hierarchy of astrophysics are speaking........... make sure the doors are open and the engine is running..... heh heh

(Gah! Typeing this again, stupid Net)

According to the theory, the total entropy of the universe is always decreasing. Entropy or 'chaos' of a system. Here, the system being the universe itself.

Consider this:

Lim(x->P.o.c) equals Lim(Entropy->0)

P.o.c = Point of change

Explanation: The Entropy determinins the amount of 'free energy' available in the universe. With this free energy, heavenly objects like Stars, planets are made(Energy Converted to mass). This energy was sort of 'released' by the 'Big Bang' of the primodial atom and due to the Big Bang...the universe keeps expanding. It will continue expanding until all the energy is consumed and the entropy reaches 0. I cannot say how long the universe will exist in this, 'stable/non-expanding/entropy less' state, BUT...theoritically...it is impossible it will exist that way.

So going by that, and putting a little thought and intution into it I propose: As soon as the Expansion stops, In a jiffy(Instantly) The Big Crunch kicks in and the contraction begins. During Big Crunch, entropy is gained "IN REVERSE" of how it was lost and the gain will continue. All this 'Gained' entropy gets 'packed' into the primodial Atom. The Implosion will cause the Reverse gain of Entropy.

Thus bringing the atom to the state it was JUST before the Big Bang occured. As in...the EXTREAMLY HIGH Entropy which the atom cannot handle and is forced to blow up again(I am talkling Universe Standards here). So basically... Even the period between the Big Crunch And the next big bang is instant.

Implies, The source of energy in the very begenning of the universe was the extream, uncontrolable Entropy amased by the last Crunch.

The defect in this theory would be that, though it does explain the phenomenon, it does not say how the very first one started. This theory would be valid probably only from the 2nd occurance.

So, Here is another Proposition:
It is said by the Rishies (^.^ You just gotta LOVE 'em)

As you know(Looking at your name I take it that ur an Indian), they have said that there have been 27 such big bangs and big crunches from the very begenning.

After the big crunch, the Primodial atom sort of undergoes what i call the 'incubation period' where the Entropy is built up until its unmanageable by the atom thus leading to an Explosive Situation.

This period, what I call, the period of 'theoritical Darkness'(If the period of and Post Big Bang is the period of 'light' --as light existed)...this Darkness lasts as long as the light existed. The darkness is called so, because...during this period, No Light, No Time...Nothing Exists(Except maybe the primodial Atom).

If to be put in simple words: Period of Darkness = Period of Expansion through Big Bang + Period of Contraction though Big Crunch
(its just an estimation)

The Entropy inside the system(atom) will increase until its high and unmanageable and forced to explode.

But i presume, normal laws cant be applied when the system is the 'Inside' of the atom. It is like saying, "The other side of the mirror is an illusion of the real world"--> This is what is seen by the eye(and thus concucted by the mind) but the real fact is totally different.

Similarly i presume, the case to be with the Atom. Possiblly it has enough in it to generate the Entropy(though an extreamly slow process) by itself and every Implosion(caused by big crunch) brings back the same state of being to the Primodial atom, where it builds up within itself again.

I hope you get the message o.o

That is a very inovative question.First in order to talk about energy we need to know what IS" Energy."
Energy is not a flowing quantity only mass can be a flowing quantity.
So Energy is rather a phenomena rather than an entity.
The modern definition of Energy is = the product of a moving mass and its potential.
Where potential is equal to the square of velocity.
Since we really dont know how the materials of the Universe were created. we cannot known how the power ,that sustain the motion of masses in the Unverse, was constructed.

The energy already existed at the beginning of time. It is not known why this is or how time began. I think it may be because of the fact there are pairs of oppositely charged particles constantly coming into existance (because their charges are equal and opposite, energy is not being created). Some of these particles collide and destroy each other, but others never did so.

if that was to be found out, we would not be a part of the present universe at all. We are all probably a part of that ultimate source of energy that created this universe which is why it is very difficult to decipher what the source is...

There is no source of energy. Energy exists as a constant quantity, except that its being transformed from one form to another.

In 1687, the book "Mathematical beginnings of natural philosophy"
by Isaac Newton was printed out. This book has become the fundamental
scientific textbook. In the foreword to this book, Newton has written:
"All the difficulty of physics, as it will be seen, is in recognizing
forces of the nature by the phenomena of motion,
and then to explain other phenomena according to these forces".
"The First Newton's law" breaks on the spot
this well formulated logical thought.
It states:
"Any body, until it remains insulated,
saves its state of rest or rectilinear motion".
This law of motion is considered fundamental in classic physics.
However, it permanently causes critics of initial positions of mechanics.
Because in earthly conditions it is defaulted.
This law does not take into consideration influence of external forces
; it also says nothing about internal forces. The reason on which the body
is moving or rests is not clear. This law is abstract.
Newton perceived illusiveness of this law. His scientific slogan was:
"I do not invent hypotheses".
He said: "I shall not mix conjectures with reliability".
He aimed to build a building of science without hypotheses.
Therefore, he wanted to correct somehow, to change his formulation.
But all attempts were unsuccessful.
However, this law is useful and necessary to explain then accelerated motion.
For this reason, this postulate of Newton
was forced and wrongfully erected to a rank of the law.
And from a school bench the person learns this postulate
as the law (unproved supposition). Here we have the paradoxical situation.
The Bible begins with the unfounded statement
"In the Beginning there was a Word ",
and classic physics begins with the unfounded statement
" In the Beginning there was the First Newton's law ".
The science states that the origin of the World according
to the religious version is not reliable, and builds the scientific
foundations based on abstraction. As a result, both formulations
(religious and scientific) are unsatisfactory from the point of view of logic.
====================================
Newton,s dream was realized by Planck.
let us analyze the discovery of quantum of light by Planck.
M. Planck in 1900 offered to examine the radiation emanating from
absolutely black body (Vacuum radiation of Kirchhoff /Max Laue / ),
as separate portions (quantum).
If the quantum of light will penetrate inside this absolute black body
and will not reflect back, the radiation and heat will die.
That it will not happen, the ideal black body should reflect
(radiate) this quantum of light back. Then and only then,
this initial (natural) radiation of quantum of light is characterized
by the constant of Planck -h .
The quantity of this particle, s impulse is h=1.
Under influence of this impulse the particle moves with speed c=1.
The particle has the form of a circle.
This quantity is described with a formula (h=Et) and has a title of
“the least quantum of action”,“ internal impulse of particle”, “spin”.
================================
Einstein realized Newton,s dream in another way
For the basic point of his argumentations, Einstein
took the constant of Boltzmann R/N = k
and coefficient (b) from the formula of radiation of Wien.
The multiplication of these two quantities gives the formula
of “ internal impulse of particle”, “spin” h = kb.
================================
Quantum of light is a privileged particle.
Only the speed of a light quantum in Vacuum has
a maximal, constant, absolute quantity of c=1.
No other particle can travel with the speed c = 1.
If quantum of light flies always rectilinearly c=1, it is a mad one.
Is he really mad?
No.
Goudsmit-Uhlenbeck also realized Newton,s dream.
Another impulse (spin) in 1925 was found by
Goudsmit-Uhlenbeck .
They came to a conclusion, that the particle should have other impulse.
Quantity of this impulse is described with a formula : h = h/ 2 π,
forcing a particle to rotate around his diameter.
This means that it particle does not move rectilinearly,
but rotates around the diameter (has the form of a sphere).
The rotation of these particle creates electrical waves.
========================
So, when Newton wrote many years ago:
"All the difficulty of physics, as it will be seen, is in recognizing
forces of the nature by the phenomena of motion,
and then to explain other phenomena according to these forces",
Planck, Einstein, Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck realized his desire .
