Creation of the universe (help me out)?

Question

how is did absolutely nothing produce something. Or how could matter always exist in a time based dimension. This is totally illogical because something cannot be infinitely old because it would require an infinite amount of time.

Answer 1

Thus is the quandary of our existance...

Answer 2

Before the universe time and space were undifferentiated. there was no way to tell time form space. Then some random quantum fluctuation separated the two, and from that point forward you had the big bang. Most likely something did exist before the big bang so the universe did not come out of nothing, but it arose from a totally random event and was not created by any entity, supernatural or otherwise. Probably, the most likely theory is that there was a pre-existing "false vacuum" that had negative energy and a repulsive rather than attractive gravity. If you like you can think of it as less than nothing. A possible analogy is the real number line, with the -0- point representing the big bang and the positive numbers representing the expanding universe. The negative numbers represent the pre-existing coditions leading to the big bang.
You can ask where these conditions came from or what created them, but since time was indefinite before the big bang it is not a meaningful question. All you can say is that they just were, and were not created. Once scientists know what they were, they will finally have a theory of everything.,

Answer 3

No one fully understands how an empty lot with nothing in it that something great can be constructed upon it.
It can be done if you plan the architecture for the project. Than you create an enviroment which will permit to built. Then when the conditions are favorable ,you then start construction.
To Human this involves a lot of red tape and time.
However for constructing the Universe our Creator did it much faster.He Hovered over the High waters(the Big Bang calls this the nothing) and formed the substance of the earth and the stars out of the high waters. What is called nothing ,was really the waters of the Universe and on nothing he hung the Sun ,the moon and the Galaxies.
This seem illogical because Humans have no understanding of infinite existance.Where time is not a factor.The planning of the Universe may have been from back from Eternity ; however, the Creation of the Universe was extremely quick relative to our time in terms of days =not billions of years.
The Biblical acount of Creation out lines a great description of the miracle of Creation of space structure and mass structure to accomodate Humans and other biological life.

Answer 4

OK, then. If we honestly knew exactly when all matter were created, then would it not logically beg the question: "What was there BEFORE matter was created?" So "time" is the logical "continuum".

Now, let's begin with your assumption that there was NOTHING before there was SOMETHING. I think it is flawed to suppose this, but not inconceiveable.

I believe there was SOMETHING ELSE before there was SOMETHING, that SOMETHING ELSE took on the form of SOMETHING at the time of the "Big Bang". This SOMETHING ELSE was of an existence and substance (a reality) we have had no previous knowledge or experience about primarily because we are born of the SOMETHING elements. Our "reality" resides in the SOMETHING (or matter and energy) of the here and now.

This, I believe, is the case of "String" and "Membrane Theory". It will either totally confuse you, or it will begin to actually make sense. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground to understanding.

Don't throw out the "Big Bang". It is, at least a partial explanation of the evolution of our universe, our reality. We may well come to know it as a chance event which spawned the reality that God created us in.

Answer 5

This is going to sidestep your question a little because where the Universe is concerned, we will have to resign ourselves to it's counter-intuitive nature at the limits. So consider this, as far as logic goes:
The Universe is either eternal or it had a beginning.
If it had a beginning, how could something come from nothing?
If it was eternal, how could anything physical not have a beginning?
If it was created by a deity, then this just sets the question back one step and makes us ask whether God is eternal or had a beginning.

My point is that there seems to be no logical position to take. And yet, there is one thing we are sure of: the Universe *does* exist. Go figure.

Answer 6

We only "try" to explain the universe, or, to be more exact, simplify it, through Math and Physics, which man invented like he invented religion, (where one needs to believe in zero, or infinity in order to understand), so that we could become scientists and inventors, not necessarily to really fully explain the universe.
If you think about it, religion is the same way... Those who dabble in it lightly, don't ask too many questions, stand to profit the most, while those who really seek out answers get stumped and frustrated, because everything faith based has holes in it.
Modern Science and Astrophysics, (eg. Religion) gets the closest, but still far from the cigar. The universe is much more complex than Science or Religion could ever explain...

In fact, we have Newton and Galileo to blame for letting the cat out of the bag and paving the way for the modern age, and its resultant Global Warming, that by-product caused by all those resultant inventions, where how much CO2 these modern day devices release was entirely overlooked for the longest time, leading to our struggle now to either put the cat back in the bag, or die..

Answer 7

The universe hasn't been here for an infinite amount of time. Only since the beginning of time, which is a finite time ago.

It burst forth from some state of being that we cannot comprehend because it exists outside of and before time. Our perceptions are all tie based, so to try to imagine what was there before is the same as trying to imagine what the world would look like if Thursdays were actually doghouses full of pancakes floating in space. It can make no sense to us because we don't have the senses to sense it.

Answer 8

I have a theory. Now get ready: What we perceive (or detect) as subatomic particles aren't really particles, they are tiny boundaries between micro wormholes. As you may have learned from advanced physics, some worm holes have the ability to move. In my theory, all my micro-worm holes move. Since holes aren't something then you don't need to explain how something can come from nothingness. Its like if you put a few dozen black holes next to each other, only on a smaller scale. The truth is, matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Most subatomic particle have almost no significant mass to they probably wouldn't be considered matter.

Answer 9

This is a fundamental question and is not something scientists like you asking. Nearly all theories that we can test and make practical usage of stem from the Big Bang hypothesis. Physics as we understand it uses the Big Bang as the most logical model for how things are, but you are correct, there is no explaining how 'nothing' becomes 'something'. A nano-second after the supposed Big Bang, everything is hunky dory, but don't ask what came before! That is for us philosphers and mystics to contemplate!

Answer 10

You seem a bit confused. We define time as beginning with our universe, since it's hard or nearly impossible to see what happened before our universe. But current theories from Penn State mathamatically show that our universe began from a singularity that emerged from the collapse of a previous universe, so it didn't 'come from nothing'. But you might want to look up pair-production while you're at it.

Answer 11

There've been rare, random instances when an electron, and a positron have both suddenly appeared, only to annihilate each other in the next instant. While both particles 'existed', the energy taken to create them was exactly equal to that which annihilated them - exactly supporting the conservation of matter & energy.

Maybe that's what our universe is... and the end is coming.
