Interesting terminology, the whole thing is just beyond comprehension. Sometimes i think why is there anything at all? How was the first atom created? How and why is there any space at all for things to be created? Why is space seemingly infinate? And to flip it, why isn't there just nothing at all, not even space? It's crazy when you begin to think deeply about it, i'm not suprised at all mathematicians have gone mental over this.
One question that is more mind-boggling than the origin of the universe is Why.
Why is there all of this?
But one thing I can half-explain, Is the first atom.
I wrote these by the way.

This could of been how the universe was created.
This started on what Lawrence Krauss said.
Maths and Physics just can't explain why there is all of this and never will be able to.
It's also very hard to understand that we will never be able to know.
Space is infinite because the force of the big bang is ongoing and galaxies and planets are being created now. So in 10 Billion years, A planet created right now could be like our planet.
There are so many questions people can ask.
Not all of them have scientific explanations.
This is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing.

Brilliant thread.
I'm really liking it, Thanks.
