What I find confusing is:<br /><br />Why do we have something, instead of nothing?<br /><br />The fact is, matter cannot be created from nothing, so the only explanation regarding the matter in the universe is that it had always existed, and had no beginning.<br /><br />But that is very hard to comprehend. How can matter just exist forever, it had to come from somewhere.<br /><br /><br /><br />

okay, ENERGY cannot be created from nothing.

Something coming out from nothing is just as hard to comprehend as something that is infinite, or has no beginning.<br /><br />Is anyone familiar with the theories of Quantum Foam? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.

The mass of the universe is large, but not infinite.<br /><br />Over longish periods of time (10^500 years would be a blink of an eye) the expansion of the universe will approximate infinite volume.<br /><br />Therefore nothingness prevails. We are just a blip, allowed for and explained away by Heisenberg, normality (infinite empty void) will be restored shortly.<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

There was the first atom, and everything within this universe is a copy and/or adaptation from that first original atom. But where did the first atom come from??? Maybe there were thousands of first atoms, rather than just one. Maybe, even after our mortal deaths, we will never know. We better start mapping the Milky way, before we start looking for the first atom, wouldn't you say. What if 'what if', was what if? May, is a month and bee is an insect... but what if, maybe... The chicken came before the egg.

Yeah, seem kind of silly, since the first atom was hydrogen, and a large percentage of atoms nowadays are not <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
