TL;DR Summary: Sorry for the noob question:

If universes can collide to make universes and split to make new ones, where did the first universe come from? Do we have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

That's a very, very, speculative hypothesis. And no, we have no idea how everything started.

1. Where did the first universe come from?

The origin of the first universe is a complex and debated topic among scientists. The most widely accepted theory is the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe began as a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, approximately 13.8 billion years ago.

2. What caused the Big Bang?

The cause of the Big Bang is still unknown and is a subject of ongoing research. Some theories suggest that it was a random quantum fluctuation, while others propose the existence of a multiverse where our universe is just one of many. However, the exact cause of the Big Bang remains a mystery.

3. Was there anything before the Big Bang?

The concept of "before" the Big Bang is difficult to comprehend because time and space as we know it did not exist before the universe began to expand. Some theories suggest that the Big Bang was not the beginning of everything, but rather a transition from a previous state of the universe.

4. How do we know the Big Bang happened?

Scientists have gathered evidence from various sources, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements, and the expansion of the universe, to support the Big Bang theory. These pieces of evidence all point towards a singular event that marked the beginning of our universe.

5. Will we ever know for sure where the first universe came from?

As our understanding of the universe continues to evolve, we may eventually have a more concrete answer to the question of where the first universe came from. However, it is also possible that the true origin of the universe may always remain a mystery to us.
