So the big bang pusehd all of th matter in the universe out... but?

Alrighty, so as I've learned there was a big mass of dense superheated mass condensed into a point.... It basically went Kaboom and everything is now expanding. Okay, understandable enough...

But one simple question that's been bugging me is, how did all of the mass of a dense superheats stuff get there in the first place?

All we can do is speculate on it at the moment.

No one can really tell you the answer to this.

Good question though.

There is one theory which states that there were many big bangs, but each time after a while the universe fell back on itself as a cause of gravity pulling everything together again.

Of course that doesn't explain where that matter came from in the first place, and also now that they found dark energy......

I'm stating the obvious, aren't I?

For the time being this question is philisophical. In order to understand where everything ultimately "comes" from you'd have to make all kinds of assumptions. Including that it "comes" from anything at all. Our minds are so hardwired to think certain ways but ultimately the universe is under little obligation to make sense, to us.

 

It can be speculated that the matter we see today is just a `negative` of space and time (and gravity)...

It`s not `really` here at all...

The overall sum of the universe is zero.

As for speculating about the conditions that may have formed the big-bang , a theory involving colliding membranes (floating in 5 dimensional space) perhaps gave the energy to form everything...

The standard theories at present suggest that the bulk of it came about from the decay of the driving potential at the end of the inflationary epoch. But don't ask me about what went on before inflation!

One of the problems here is that your trying to place things in time... when the universe came into existence (or created, what ever) time also started. So what happened before the universe is asking what happened before time!?! Without time existing it makes thing pretty hard to imagine. One idea is that the universe runs in cycles in which (some how) this universe will go under a Big Crunch and start a new universe (with a Big Bang

) that will repeat and start another and so forth tell our universe is created again, huh wait a minute how can our universe be created AGAIN: well remember time does not exist between universi and so the Big Bang / Big Crunch cycles not in a line but a in a circle in which everything will happen again over and over again forever. So asking were everything came from is like asking where is the beginning of a circle.
