In the beggining of the Universe, was matter created?

Question

When the Universe was a tiny dense ball of matter, how much matter did it contain? Did it contain the exact amount of matter needed to make the Universe as big as it is today (and bigger as it's still expanding)? How would it know how much matter is needed? Does every object I see before me have a past of once being inside that dense ball of matter, or was matter created to fit the Universe's size when it began?

Answer 1

The tiny ball was not matter and contained no matter or mass, but is known as the singularity. This name comes from the fact that the entity was composed of everything that is energy and matter and time and space, and , possibly other things we don't know about yet or never will. The exact physics of that object are not known. We do know that the physical laws at that time were nothing like what they are now. We know matter today is a container of large amounts of energy which accounts for it's physical properties - like taking up a lot more space than the actual mass would require. There is nothing exact about the quantity of matter in the universe, but we don't completely understand the physics of matter in our universe. The universe is mostly empty. Matter is an exception and appears randomly distributed. Matter does not push the universe larger, space is being created at every point in the universe and this is attributed to dark matter and or dark energy. Think of these as a ball next to a hot dog. The hot dog is our matter, the kind we see and interact with. The ball is dark matter and we have a hard time seeing it or interacting with it as it rolls away from everything we try to bump it with. This effect may account for the uncertainty principle - that there is a limit to how much we can ever measure exactly just like light is a limit on speeds we can observe being traveled.

Answer 2

The present mass of the Universe can only be compressed in to a cube whose volume is aprox. two cubic meters. It just shows the the premordal mass that was postulated in the Big bang was a little exagerated.
I am more inclined to Postulate the The Universe did not form out of a singularity of one mass the size of a golf ball at all.
But it just as feasible that the Universe was not created from the inside volume of its containment ,but rather from the outside by the twisting of the space substance forming mass structures.
The is the Inverse of the Big Bang theory .However both theories required proof. And what ever observation of the Univeres were made by cosmologists can equally apply to both Theories.
Therefore Science needs to keep an open mind as the posssiblity that the Universe came into being in a different way that it presently assumes.

Note the General relativity theory solution of the Field equations only represent a manifold volume of space time which is an imaginary volume.A theory is still a theory =not a law. Therefore it behoves us to check all theory and question all theories whether they represent reality or not.

Answer 3

You are referring to the Big Bang Theory and Steven Hawkins books can answer all of your questions.

Good News for Hitchhikers of the Galaxy! There are 165 planetary bodies in our Solar System alone, and some claim as many as 235, not to mention all the other galaxies in the universe. You must build a Dynamo on each one to create an ATMOSPHERE. If it spins on its axis, like Mars, it can be a MOLTEN IRON Dynamo, which will sustain itself because of eddy currents spinning.

If it doesn't spin on its axis like the Moon, then a Superconducting Magnet or Neodymium Boron type of cylindrical/bar magnet must be inserted into the core. The Earth's core conists of Iron and Nickel and is a molten iron Dynamo. The strength of the Magnetic Dynamo must be 10,000 Gauss (1 Tesla) or more. On Earth, the Dynamo is at least 5,000 Gauss (1/2 Tesla) and the magnetic field strength is 0.5 to 2.0 Gauss over the surface of the Earth. With this knowledge, we can build ATMOSPHERES and restaurants throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

And all they ever told you was that there were 9 planets, the sun, and the moon, tsch, tsch....

Answer 4

I don't think anyone can answer this question...because 1. The universe create with the big bang is just a theory...and 2. no one will know the exact matter but although it'll be billions and thrillions and sextillion and all the way but it sure takes a lot of energy to create an universe like this...

Answer 5

That depends on what you mean by the beginning of the universe. At the start there was energy which was created. Matter probably came soon after as things whirled around for a few billion years.

Answer 6

That is one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. It takes you back to a singularity, gravity is the only thing that exist. Matter didn't exist, energy didn't exist, just gravity. So what set the "big bang" off. Philosophically speaking, you need an outside force to start something, so what was this outside force? I'm still trying to understand how the existence of matter doesn't contradict the laws of thermal dynamics. Hmm.

Answer 7

All the mass-energy that is around today, was present at the first moment of the big bang (BB). The first moment = after the first Planck time = 5.4 x 10^-44 seconds.

Since then, some of the mass has be converted into energy, and some of the energy into mass. E = m c^2.

Answer 8

Good questions. There is theory for all that. Of course, religious nuts already believe they know the answers and never question ANYTHING. Must be nice to know everything.

Answer 9

I think that anything wasn´t created until big bang appared, but im not sure! Go look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy
for more. Just cpy and paste it and you are on your way to knowing it!

Answer 10

"By the Word of the Lord were the heavens CREATED and all the host of them by the breathe of His mouth"- Scripture

Its that simple Pal...if you leave God out, you have to come up with some really complicated theoretical & speculative nonsense.
