      Hi @adityaking,

      Not really sure on this one. I know the thrust of the argument is that there was essentially no matter at the begining of the universe and then something called a singularity (black hole) resulted in the big bang. However as to how you get something from nothing, you might need to ask a physicist.

      Hi @adityaking, that is a great question, but it is definitely a question for a physicist of which there are unfortunately not any on this site. I would suggest doing what researchers do when they don’t know the answer … ask someone with more knowledge in the area or look it up in a book or on the web – you might find you get really interested and want to learn more! Thanks, and sorry I couldn’t help! Lisa
