Question:

Could this be a theory to how the Universe was created?

Could it be possible for the Universe to have just been here, and always has been here.

Does there have to be a beginning? Could it be possible for something to exist without being created?

  1. because there is a belief that every thing in the universe is not constant and undergoes changes with time.

    so, It is also believed that there was a beginning of universe.

    and it began with big-bang.

    but one question also arise, where does big bang takes place. because before big-bang there is a one mass of all the particles in the universe. And every mass need a space to be stored?

    Nobody knows what the truth, every theory doesn't explain all queries.

    we accept the theory that looks realistic to us and the theory is big bang theory


  2. Yes yes it could its called god

  3. Yes and No. Everything in existence at this moment was created by it's predecessor. Trees came from the seed that came from the tree before them. You came from your mother and father.  Animals came from the ones that came before them. Everything was created by which that came before it

    Your question is like the "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" For there to be a chicken, there had to be an egg that the chicken came from.  But for there to be an egg, there had to be a chicken that that egg came from.

    Althoough it is entirely possible that we have always existed, just at some point in time we simply realised that we were here.

  4. Of course. It is also not sure if the Big Bang was really the beginning or just an horizon. Some questions are still left to be answered in science.

    But currently, the Big Bang theory is the best we have and any alternative theory needs to be better fitting to the observations.

  5. God created the heavens and the earth

    dont get me started lol

  6. Some of the best minds have worked at constructing a theory of how the universe could have always existed AND be in a state of expansion.

    The theory was called Steady State.  It was popularized by Fred Hoyle, the best astro-physicist at the time.  It was also preferred by Albert Einstein and was, for most astronomers at the time, the most useful theory available.  The Big Bang theory is far more complicated to use.

    However, there are a few things that must exist for it to really represent our universe.  And when new telescopes and radio-telescopes showed new portions of the universe yet unknown, the Steady State theory was incapable of explaining them, while Big Bang did.

    The biggest "annoyance" is the Cosmological Microwave Background (CMB) radiation.  The Big Bang theory had predicted it in advance, while according to Steady State, such a thing should not even exist.

    Fred Hoyle and his friends worked very hard to correct the Steady State theory to make it fit the universe we can see.  Fred Hoyle continued to work on it until his death (by then, he was working pretty well alone, as no other scientist believed that an eternal universe could ever look like the universe we see).

    So, for now, looks like we are stuck with a universe that had a beginning, thus still leaving open the possibility that it was "created".

  7. Prominent astronomer Fred Hoyle promoted the steady state theory of the Universe in the late 1940's.  Subsequently, however, the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, quasars and radio galaxies put the kibosh on Hoyle's notion.  And, ironically,  the term used by Hoyle as a derisive dismissal of the point singularity origin of the Universe, "the Big Bang," became the accepted term to denote the current theory of the origin and genesis of the Universe.

  8. Yes, that could be a theory indeed.  As humans, we're used to thinking of things linearly - that is, with a beginning, a middle and an end.  For something to not have a beginning defies logic, so that's why the scientific community would give you jazz about your theory.  But, all thoughts on how the universe was created are just that - theories, and nothing more.

  9. Yes and no.  We know God created the Universe.  But God has also always been there.

  10. Depending on your theology and your faith in modern science, the answer could vary.  According to the Big Bang theory, as I understand it, (and I understand it to be the best scientifically based theory developed so far), the universe did have a beginning, but the question of exactly "when" it occurred or what may have existed before it is almost meaningless.  We can narrow it down to a few billion years, and we can estimate its composition around 10^-42 seconds after the beginning, but there is a point before that where the laws of physics, as we know them, simply break down, so we have no way of describing it.

    To illustrate the "breakdown" of physics, it is important to note that the Big Bang did not happen at an exact point in space, at least not in the sense that we could ever find that place.  Rather, space itself came from the Big Bang.  We can see things that are more light years away than years the universe is old because things are not just moving through constant space; space itself is actually expanding.  And, as Einstein pointed out, (and subsequent experimentation has held) space and time flow together in the same ways.  So, just as space was generated in the Big Bang, so too was time itself generated in this flux of matter-energy.

    According to Einstein's formulae, and according to recent experiments, time and space bend and curve somewhat in cases of extreme energy or density.  Black holes, for example, are powerful enough to bend time drastically, such that anything falling in would appear to the outside world to slow down infinitely as it approached the event horizon.

    The Big Bang, on the other hand, is of such indescribable magnitude, that time and space are bent so far that they actually "break" as one looks backward to the beginning.  We simply do not have a theory to describe the forces at work beyond that level.  As such, anything is possible.

    So, to answer your question, it is not possible that the universe has always been exactly as it is, since much observation has shown that it is changing rapidly.  However, it is entirely possible, given our lack of understanding, that there has always been something; perhaps some other grand event preceeded the Big Bang, like a warp in another universe, or a Big Crunch.  However, note that I only use the word "preceeded" in an unusually cosmic sense.  I use it in more of a causal than a temporal sense, because, it would appear, according to current theories, that, at a certain point when looking backward through the Big Bang, the energy and force reaches such a level that time itself ceases to have meaning as we understand it.  That point could be considered "the beginning" of the universe, as a continuous stretch of space-time, whereas "before," the space-time that would eventually become our universe was disjointed, much in the same way that time did not exist for you before you were conceived, as you were disjointed, and not a continuous being.

  11. Likely the universe did not exist at one time.

      There was nothing but a potential that had the virtue of being able to evolve into the universe we see today.

  12. No. Nothing can exist without something putting it into motion. Since the universe exists, something put it there. The best explanation for that right now is God.
