How was the matter in the universe created?

Matter and energy are inter-convertible. This has been established by Albert Einstein, through his theory of relativity.

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/different-forms-of-...

The first law of thermodynamics says that Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed by humans - it can only be done by Almighty.

    Creationism is the only theory that explains the beginning.

    On a sub atomic level everything that is, always was, and always will be. Matter is a form of energy as measured by E=mc2 and can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be converted from one form to another. So....How was matter in the Universe created??? Simply enough..it wasn't. This is where infinity comes into play.

    Source(s): Excellent question and great articles btw.

    They were not created. They are the "default position" of existence. Since matter and energy can never go out of existence, but instead change forms, they must go on eternally in both directions. That being said, they were not created.

    Also, if it could be said that they can go out of existence, then where do they go when they go "out"? Where ever they go, that place/state must 'exist'.

    It is thus a contradiction to say "existence does not exist" or "existence at one time did not exist, or will not exist in the future." No predicate may be said to belong and not belong to the same entity at the same time and in the same respect.

    ADDED: You're wrong, Ratz. That question is pure metaphysics, as my answer demonstrates.

    The person embodying the material causal principle, the great lord of this mundane world [Mahesvara, Siva] Samhhu, in the form of the male generating organ, is joined to his female consort the limited energy [Maya, Durga] as the efficient causal principle. The Lord of the world Mahä-Visnu is manifest in him by His subjective portion in the form of His glance.

    Perhaps the Big Bang created the energy necessary to create energy into matter.

    I wasn't there (goofing off somewhere else, likely).

    As we know that the creator of this universe is the Almighty.Should you have the doubt of the creator then ask oneself how was we being brought to this world.The question of science belongs to the creator(God).In any circumstances can we prove ow the air we inhale looks like and he pain we suffer been seen? no answers and that goes the same for your questions. Thank you.

    The reward mass of the Universe can handiest be compressed in to a dice whose volume is aprox. Two cubic meters. It just suggests the the premordal mass that used to be postulated in the significant bang was just a little exagerated. I'm extra inclined to Postulate the The Universe didn't form out of a singularity of 1 mass the scale of a golf ball at all. However it simply as possible that the Universe used to be no longer created from the inside volume of its containment ,however alternatively from the external by means of the twisting of the distance substance forming mass buildings. The is the Inverse of the big Bang conception .However both theories required proof. And what ever remark of the Univeres have been made by cosmologists can equally observe to each Theories. For that reason Science desires to maintain an open mind as the posssiblity that the Universe came into being in another way that it right now assumes. Be aware the final relativity thought answer of the field equations most effective characterize a manifold quantity of house time which is an imaginary volume.A idea is still a conception =not a legislation. Therefore it behoves us to assess all idea and question all theories whether they symbolize fact or no longer.

    Creation?

    ~~~ Not anything, ever, is 'created'!

    Existence/the complete Universe/Reality/God/'Self!'/Tao/Brahman... is 'perceived'.

    Existence = the complete Universe = Reality = Consciousness = Truth = 'Self!' = God = Brahman = Tao = ... etc....

    ALL INCLUSIVE!!

    'One'!

    Everything Exists! All inclusive!

    Everything is Real! All inclusive!

    Truth is all inclusive!

    Everything is True! All inclusive!

    Existence/Reality/Truth is all inclusive!

    'One'!

    That which is perceived exists. All inclusive!

    That which exists is perceived. All inclusive!

    Not a thing exists (notice that I didn't say that 'nothing' exists, 'cause it don't! *__- ) that is not perceived. All inclusive!

    Not a thing is perceived that does not exist. All inclusive!

    There is no, nor can there be, any evidence to the contrary!

    What do we perceive? Mind/Consciousness/'Self!'/God...

    "The complete Universe (Reality/Truth/God/'Self!'/Tao/Brahman... or any feature herein...) can be defined/described as the synchronous sum-total of all Perspectives!" - Book of Fudd

    ALL INCLUSIVE!!!

    tat tvam asi ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tat_Tvam_As%E2%80%A6 )

    "God cannot know himself without me." - Meister Eckhart

    "The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same." - Meister Eckhart

    "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart

    Wanna know where 'creation' exists? As a 'thought'! Like the FSM! Like Jesus! Like 'time' and 'causality' and the 'sum' of Descartes's 'Cogito ergo..'... where 'reason' and whowhatwherewhenwhy exist as perceived 'thought'!

    Existence, Reality, us, 'Self!', is one (literally) 'timeless' moment of 'Self Knowledge!"

    All 'moments/percepts' of existence, synchronously manifesting and as 'quickly', self annihilating!

    When opposite Perspectives arise, they immediately, in that same moment annihilate!

    "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be. They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... The four-dimensional space-time manifold displays all eternity at once." - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman

    "Reality is a synchrony of moments!"

    Nope, not anything is, was, will actually be 'created'! That which is, at any moment of existence, is perceived!

    'Creation' fails both scientifically and philosophically!

    only something that was present before the big bang can shed light on this question. i have a feeling black holes have vital information about this subject...
