SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the origins of energy and mass within the singularity that preceded the Big Bang. Participants explore the possibility that energy and mass may have originated from a previous universe or through quantum fluctuations. The conversation highlights the limitations of current cosmological theories, particularly the Big Bang theory, which only accounts for events up to Planck time. The notion of a multiverse and the philosophical implications of creation are also examined, emphasizing the speculative nature of these concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Big Bang theory and its implications
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics and fluctuations
  • Knowledge of cosmological concepts such as singularity and Planck time
  • Basic grasp of multiverse theory and its philosophical ramifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum fluctuations in cosmology
  • Explore the concept of multiverse theory and its scientific basis
  • Study the limitations of the Big Bang theory and alternative cosmological models
  • Investigate philosophical questions surrounding the origins of the universe
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, cosmologists, and philosophy enthusiasts interested in the origins of the universe and the theoretical frameworks surrounding it.

What caused it to suddenly create a universe? What caused the singularity to change into the Big Bang?

Can anyone explain how all the mass-energy was accumulated into the "singularity"?

Where did the Energy in singularity come from? Could it be that human cosmologists are only stating an unproven theory? We know that energy can be transformed into mass, and mass into energy. If the "singularity" contained all the energy and mass in the present universe, then you will have to admit that said energy and mass came from somewhere or something.
So where did it come from?
 
Space news on Phys.org
it is possiable that there is a thing called the multi verse, were that if the weak, strong, gravitational and em force united a certain point than there would be a universe before our universe
we know this becouse if that happens then as the universe contracts to about the Planck length, it begins to grow again and so it turns to a different universe, so our energy could be from a distant past universe
but there is the problem of cause and effect, e.g. who created the world? god, Who created God? This could be more of a philosophy question.
 
Unknown. The big bang theory only takes us back to the first tick of Planck time. It may have been preceeded by other 'universes' and arose from a 'bounce', or it may have originated from 'nothing' as the consequence of a random quantum fluctuation. It's all purely speculative at this time, and likely to remain so for the foreseable future.
