Why are we here in this universe?

It used to be that science couldn't answer the question about the origin of the universe or of the Big Bang, but that didn't mean we should make up an answer (such as a god) and say that it was the cause. Within the last few decades scientists have discovered some good answers. Of course, a scientific explanation is more complex than simply saying, "God did it."

Quantum mechanics shows that "nothing," as a philosophical concept, does not exist. There is always a quantum field with random fluctuations.

There are many well-respected physicists, such as Stephen Hawking, Lawrence Krauss, Sean M. Carroll, Victor Stenger, Michio Kaku, Alan Guth, Alex Vilenkin, Robert A.J. Matthews, and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, who have created scientific models where the Big Bang and thus the entire universe could arise from nothing but a quantum vacuum fluctuation in the quantum field -- via natural processes.

I know that this doesn't make sense in our Newtonian experience, but it does in the realm of quantum mechanics and relativity. As Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman wrote, "The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as she is — absurd."

For more, watch the video at the 1st link - "A Universe From Nothing" by theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss, read an interview with him (at the 2nd link), get his new book (at the 3rd link), or read an excerpt from his book (at the 4th link).

It doesn't matter whether you believe in god or not. God cannot be proven or disproven.

Personally I believe in god, but strictly from a scientific view I observe the Law of Conservation which states, "energy cannot be created nor destroyed; only made to change form". Also science states, "something cannot come from nothing." From those two conclusion I accept the concept of a Higher Power that has alway been and always will be, albeit I don't believe in an anthropomorphic god. Something must have created the aliens right? Something must have created the big bang, which cannot come from nothing or nothingness.

Time is a man made mental artifact, because there is only always. Time is based onselective points of observation. Past, present and future can only be said to be because of always and foreverness. The past has no actuality in the now; the future has not happend yet. Even the 'now' changes from instant to instand and never remains the moment it is observed because the next instant begins.

We are not in the universe, but rather the universe in within us, meaning it is within our awareness.

How did the aliens (and where are they?) develop? The math doesn't favor spontaneous generation either for Earth's 4+ billion years, or some other star's (aliens) 8 billion years.

Apparently there's always been Energy, and Energy so powerful that a proton-sized portion of it can produce a Universe (4% matter; 96% dark/unknown energy & matter; plus, 99% of matter and 100% of anti-matter, equal amounts, jointly annihilate each other). Sounds like God, plus very precise balance (to parts in many trillions) to allow life. So we've won the one-in-trillions of universes prize, plus we still can't account for how life boots up. Hmm...God is simpler hypothesis.

We'll know when we pass on, and wake up to learn that somewhat different rules are in play. E.g., "The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis; "Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves, "The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet, "Man, Master of His Destiny," Omraam Aivanhov.

the vast bang around 15 billion years in the past. The universe remains increasing via fact of it. The furthest issues away are shifting away at nearlly the fee of sunshine via fact they have been accelerating the longest. modern-day astro-physics thinks that the vast bang became a million of many in a universe for ever and ever or initiating. If there is sufficient rely in the universe to halt the enlargement and opposite it by way of mutual gravitational allure the universe ought to ultimately crumple right into a singularity and convey a great bang as quickly as extra. This difficulty might supply us a universe without initiating or end even though it might oscillate between the vast bang to the vast crunch to the vast bang, advert infinitum, cycling as quickly as each 22 billion years or so. this extra rely that they are finding for is prevalent as darkish rely and there is mounting data that it does exist in sufficiently enormous parts to reason this oscillating universe. How enormous is it? The furthest products that we are able to work out are around 12 - 15 billion easy years away. that's, on the fee of sunshine (7 circumstances around the international in a million 2nd) it might take 12 - 15 billion years to get there. the easy we are seeing from those distant products has taken 12 - 15 billion years to prevail in our eyes that's three times longer than the Earth, solar or photograph voltaic equipment has existed. So the universe is larger than enormous, that's larger than the human suggestions can quite comprehend. desire this sparks your activity some extra

In the beginning...

There was this small glowing blue orb floating in an eternal greensih field of vortex non-space, and next to it was a giant glowing orange orb, and suddenly the giant glowing orange orb spoke...

"I wish to create something."

And then the small glowing blue orb answered.

"It will be painful, and you do not know what pain is. I will send you a part of myself to help you through it."

And then the orange orb said "So be it..." and it started expanding like a balloon and then it exploded into what is now our expanding universe.

wel u can always apply for a swap with a creature from another universe. Just fill out an m52j form from ur nearest post office and theyl take it frm thr. Goodluck.

Guess we won't know will we? I wish we did too, because i literally almost think about this question everyday lol. I find the subject so fascinating. But really theres nothing we can do to figure out the truth.

where else

would we

be?
