What does science have to say about the origination of matter?

There is a lot unknown about this area of science that may never be know. The theory of the big bang is still only a theory and there are a few alternative theories.

I can't remember everything I was taught about this but I'm sure there are a few different ideas. My favourite is that the universe is on a constant expansion and contraction and the matter that caused the big bang was when the matter created so much implosion, due to a black hole, that if exploded. Another favourite is that the universe is created by a black hole from an older universe, when the matter is trapped in a black hole it creates a universe on the other side. The universes that have the ability to spawn, create black holes are the most successful, a bit like evolution. The worst I've heard was that the big bang caused time to start and therefor nothing could have existed before this.

All these are theories and don't have all the proof, a bit like believing in God.

A question I could ask you is where does God come from, is there a Mummy and Daddy God, did he just suddenly appear one day? What was there before God and why did he decide to create the universe when he did? Where did he get the parts to create it from?

Edit added below as the above doesn't sound as it's meant

I'm not stating whether there is a god or not just that as with the big bang theory people believe what the best evidence given to them says. If that evidence changes then the theory changes as well. I personally have seen no evidence for God and as such can't state that he exists, I like to think there could be someone looking over us but there is no proof. Therefore God must be a theory the same as the big bang, evolution, etc.

This is a theoretical physics question

look up 'string theory' for matter

Steven Hawkings has published a theory about pre-Big Bang. Something about bubbles of existence. Like bubbles in soda. Our universe didn't pop because the physical laws are just right -- the Goldilocks conjecture.

It's based on mathematical models

I don't know how strongly established and how popular that model is. But Hawkings is one of the most brilliant scientists in history.

(Oh, and pre-bigbang time doesn't exist. Time only starts at the point of the big bang. He uses Einstein's theory of relativity to show this. So many of our notions and rules of how the physical universe works don't apply in pre-bigbang state. This was a pretty mind bending notion to me. )

Actually Modern Inflation theory indicates matter and energy formed slightly after the big bang event as the result of the rapid inflation. The key is that Gravitational potential Energy is negative and forms in equal amounts to the positive mass/energy.

"The answer is that the total energy of the universe is exactly zero. The matter in the universe is made out of positive energy. However, the matter is all attracting itself by gravity. Two pieces of matter that are close to each other have less energy than the same two pieces a long way apart, because you have to expend energy to separate them against the gravitational force that is pulling them together. Thus, in a sense, the gravitational field has negative energy. In the case of a universe that is approximately uniform in space, one can show that this negative gravitational energy exactly cancels the positive energy represented by the matter. So the total energy of the universe is zero." (Hawking, 1988, )

Ultimately though it is likely that space-time matter and energy are based on something more fundamental. In physicist Max Tegmarks recent paper "The Mathematical Universe" He argues that reality is simply Mathematics.

God ate some taco bell with green onions and sharted out the universe.

This is a question for the physics section.

Matter is a manfestation of energy.

Why not ask this in a science category?

Science doesnt know yet

The answer is: We don't know yet. When we figure it out we'll get back to you.
