Where is everything from?

[theren_911]

I mean ultimately, where did everything come from? Are there any theories other than God or Big bang?

Theres got to be a source of everything? Hasn't there?

I'm sure i remember from somewhere that at the very smallest level, everything is made of tiny little pieces of nothing, is this right? It would make sense in a backwards kind of way.

Anyone got any theories? My brain starts to bleed when I think of this for too long!

It's always been there.

if god created the world then who created god?he couldn't of magicked up from nowhere?big bang theory?there has to be something there for there to be a bang in the first place.i think we should accept that there are many theories and that we'll probably never know the truth!.

[loulou80]

that god bit shoulda been he she or it because no one actually knows do they?

The world is made of little pink unicorns. In the beginning, there was one, big, unicorn. Now there are many small ones.

That's my theory.

If you're brain needs a final push to get it into permanent melt down consider that the big bang is not an explosion of a massive body into an existing empty universe but the creation of space and time.

There was no before because time "starts" at that point, most of language we use to talk and think in is completely tied up with the notion of time so even trying to think about this in English is next to impossible.

The universe is not onlystranger than we imagine but stranger than we can imagine

Popular science is the best science fiction you could possibly imagine. Way beyond Matrix and the improbability drives and alike.

Just consider that 95-96% of the known universe is unknown, 75% of which is something which is called Dark Energy/Force, 25% - Dark Matter. And only 4-5% is known matter like atoms etc. We know it's there but we have no clue as to what it is or how it works. And if we know so little about our universe how can we possibly know anything about what's outside of it.

Jake-the-peg got it spot on.

May the Force be with ya!!! Star Wars really were onto something there.

very good answer from jake-the-peg. The reason we're here is so far removed from the thought processes of our brains, that even coming up with a theory that's close, is unlikely.

sometimes i have a dream, that i'm about 90. in a nursing home, i cry cos i,m in pain and the nurses bite,punch me or burn me with ciggarettes to shut me up, these dreams are quite weird and vauge and it seems like i live another life, but if i try to remember too much, i end up with headache, is it possible we go on and on with life after death?

In line with jakes' post, the best measurements of the universe indicate that it is essentially flat. That is, it is not the round ball that's imagined. The Big Bang cosmology indicates that with the first billionth's of billionths, etc. of a second after it's inception, the material expanded at, as jake further says, at unimagineable speed and distance. Many astrophysists believe that intial speed to be far greater than c... the speed of light. Additionally, many of those scientists postulate the equivalent of the creation occurring 'every where at once'... with light being the first evidence of the Big Bang...
