What Existed Before Existence?

, , , ,

Pre-existence, preexistence, beforelife, or premortal existence is the belief that

each individual human soul existed before mortal conception

, and at some point before birth enters or is placed into the body.

How did time begin?

According to the general theory of relativity, space, or the universe, emerged

in the Big Bang

some 13.7 billion years ago. … “In the theory of relativity, the concept of time begins with the Big Bang the same way as parallels of latitude begin at the North Pole.

How did the universe come from nothing?

The Universe as we observe it today began with

the hot Big Bang

: an early hot, dense, uniform, … … Perhaps, according to cosmic inflation — our leading theory of the Universe’s pre-Big Bang origins — it really did come from nothing.

Is it possible that the universe has always existed?


Science does not have a conclusive answer yet

, but at least two potentially testable theories plausibly hold that the universe–and therefore time–existed well before the big bang. If either scenario is right, the cosmos has always been in existence and, even if it recollapses one day, will never end.

What existed before the initial singularity?

The universal origin story known as the Big Bang postulates that, 13.7 billion years ago, our universe emerged from a singularity — a point of infinite density and gravity — and that before this event,

space and time did not exist

(which means the Big Bang took place at no place and no time).

Where did all matter come from?

Origins. In the

first moments after the Big Bang

, the universe was extremely hot and dense. As the universe cooled, conditions became just right to give rise to the building blocks of matter – the quarks and electrons of which we are all made.

Who created universe?

Many religious persons, including many scientists, hold that

God

created the universe and the various processes driving physical and biological evolution and that these processes then resulted in the creation of galaxies, our solar system, and life on Earth.

Does time have an end?

According to Einstein’s General Relativity, which is our best current description of space and time, the only place where time – and also space –

ends is in a so-called singularity

. This involves gravitational forces becoming so intense that space and time lose all meaning.

What year did time start?

The measurement of time began with the invention of sundials in ancient Egypt some time

prior to 1500 B.C.

However, the time the Egyptians measured was not the same as the time today’s clocks measure. For the Egyptians, and indeed for a further three millennia, the basic unit of time was the period of daylight.

How many universes are there?


There

are still some scientists who would say, hogwash. The only meaningful answer to the question of

how many universes there

are is one, only one

universe

.

Will the universe end?

Astronomers once thought the universe could collapse in a Big Crunch. Now most agree

it will end with a Big Freeze

. … Trillions of years in the future, long after Earth is destroyed, the universe will drift apart until galaxy and star formation ceases. Slowly, stars will fizzle out, turning night skies black.

What is outside the universe?

To answer the question of what’s outside the universe, we first need to define exactly what we mean by “universe.” If you take it to mean literally all the things that could possibly exist in all of space and time, then

there can’t be anything outside the universe

.

Does nothingness exist?


There is no such thing as nothingness

, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing.

Can matter be created?


Matter can change form through physical and chemical changes

, but through any of these changes, matter is conserved. The same amount of matter exists before and after the change—none is created or destroyed. This concept is called the Law of Conservation of Mass.

How was Earth created?

When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth

formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun

. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle, and a solid crust.

Who created the God?

We ask, “If all things have a

creator

, then who created God?” Actually, only created things have a creator, so it’s improper to lump God with his creation. God has revealed himself to us in the Bible as having always existed. Atheists counter that there is no reason to assume the universe was created.
