I am not by any means referring to god.

I am trying to say that since in the beginning there was nothing, and that since nothing comes from nothing and there must have been a first creation of "something," then did that something, or the seeds from that something come from outside our universe? Perhaps in another universe, or what-have-you, where perhaps the laws of science are completely different, and maybe you can build something out of nothing?

knightoftherange I get what you are saying, and while I for the most part agree with what you are saying about laws, I am talking about stuff outside our observable universe. Our laws only are applicable so long as it is contained within our existence, our entire universe. If something, some other universe (not galaxy) is out beyond the universe, completely detached from us or the universe itself how can you or anyone else say that the same laws would apply? Perhaps in a parrallel universe somewhere beyond the scope of science: up is down, and fire and water mix...

There is most definitely a possibility. Not only are there galaxies billions of light years away from anything we have seen but there could even be a universe that exists in a different dimension that we dont even know about. And yes, I am talking about something that is not a god. I mean an existance of planets and stars and gases that exist in a different space/time universe then ours. It is definitely a possibility.

Not only possible but experienced!

Yet a science that ignores the obvious can not be said to be a complete science. You'd think by now that science would have their definitions straight on the basics, but it doesn't. They don't know even if the smallest element known is a wavelenght or a particle, it keeps changing. They find as they go smaller that matter is made up of these small particles/wavelenghts but rather than finding a solid, it seems to go down to a 'nothing,' each time they appear to have it 'nailed'.

Scientists, one day, will find out that everything does go back to a static and originated from a static. This is somewhat beyond what individuals can easily have and more than science can bear so is thrown out of their range of acceptability.

What you're dealing with here is a matter of scope, and probably not a question that can be answered in your lifetime. Our perceptions are limited because we are PART of the event. We have theories, but not empirical evidence, that hold our loose-knit and ever-changing perception of the Universe together. We are only a few scant seconds removed from the Neanderthal on the clock-face of eternity. People have a tendency to place too great of an importance on how "modern" we think our selves to be, and how enlightened our science is. (I can picture men in Rome having a discussion about the fiery chariot crossing the sky, feeling rather intelligent as they head to a temple to worship Gods we've long since disposed of by reducing to myth.) We tend to define Human history in ages of technical mastery.. Stone, Bronze, Iron... we're merely pontificating on the unknown in an age I believe will become known as the Silicon Age.

My answer to your question is thus: We don't know, but we gain more knowledge by the day. Let's hope we figure it all out, whatever it is, before we collapse back into our Sun, or get our atmosphere ripped off by an errant chunk of flying space debris.

Good luck with your question... I'll be at the vomitorium. =)

Science is a limited knowledge to the extent we want to believe or fantasize about it . There are unexplainable things in life which Science cannot reason out . I know an elderly gentleman , who just by looking at his bare wrist can say perfect time and when I say ,I mean there is no tricks there . The person himself does not know how the times gets to his head . What Science has got to say about it ?

Similarly , existence of outer space species can never be ruled out . Simple theory is that whosoever created our Life on earth must have created prototype somewhere else who must have gone through the Race Evolution like we did .or let 's argue that the creator made us and then made a fair copy with all shortcomings / alteration taken care of . Certainly yes .

You're probably right.

In fact, we don't even have to leave our universe to catch a glimpse of this reasoning... the universe on the very small is an example. Electrons, neutrons and protons, and all those other weird subatomic particles operate according to principles that we are only just beginning to understand.

Some scientists casually discuss how some particles just pop into existence, exist very briefly, then pop out of existence again.

If on the scale of the very small, why not on the scale of the very big?

(That's not to argue for or against the existence of God.)

IMO, it's a little naive and self-centered to think we are the only life in the whole entire universe, when we know less than 1% about all that is and was out there.

In the great scope of things, if you follow evolutionary standards, we are very, very young. All our science could be inherently flawed. It's a good question to think about, but limiting ourselves in our answers could be a mistake.

What you ask is as possible as anything.
I don't personally believe in the "Big Bang" theory, which is in my opinion a trick the scientist designed to resolve their insolvable equations (when they meet something REALLY impossible they then call it a "singularity" where in theory all their laws of physics do not apply).
Now if we talk about the probability that other universes exist, or the probability that we humans should meet any from it, then prepare your zeroes (0.00000000....0000001).

Yo Raunak fuckfacts. F your replica and paste. we would have enjoyed real thoguhts no longer robotic. the assumption of there being a parallel universe is a robust question, yet with each and every reliable question there is yet another question which could be asked. Its like leaping the gun to be short. I say this becuase we don't even understand how our universe works hence shall we no longer possibly even think of roughly yet another. because of the fact if we don't understand with regard to the makeup(rules of physic that seem to alter on an conventional basis) that we are cloaked in we can't in any respect proceed. So a extra useful question could be, How does our universe artwork? Now right it is the real recommendations blower. There can't be purely another! because of the fact each and every determination you're making could CREATED a sparkling universe! each and everything could might desire to be oppisite in any different case there could purely be one universe. following me? ok so say you needed to goto the mall, yet in the different universe you probably did no longer. understand think of of each and every of the flaws you come back to a determination approximately on the mall and all of the flaws you come back to a determination at residing house or with a chum. with each and every determination there is two or 3 achieveable solutions and for each answer there could might desire to be a universe. So for daily existence there could be billions of universe for one individual. for the international there could be trillions abon trillions. my answer is sure there is extra universes. yet ill on no account see them.

by asking this question, you already know there's something out there.

reason ? firstly there's no such thing as JUST happen. be it from another source or be it from a chain reaction.

we're created for a reason, we just fail to see the reason now. maybe later, maybe tomorrow.

How we're created is really not the questions, is more to WHY we're here? and What's Out there ?

and we're not just US in this universe....in this ever expanding universe, you believe that ?.....there's alot more....we have never met...but then again, we might already have.. :)

Matter isn't just created from nothing, it has always been. The theory of the Big Bang even supports that. The law of the Conservation of matter states: "Matter can not be created or destroyed; it only changes form."
There are through out our universe different forms of matter and energy that are different than what we are customarily used to thinking of as real. The laws of physics are called laws because they are the same through out, no matter where. Theories are subject to change, not laws.
