Thread: If matter cant be created or destroyed, where did all this stuff come from?

^^ But then again, remember that there is no such thing as time.

Time is a tool we use in order to lend order to our reality. You can't see it, touch it, change it, or make more of it. Its only true existence is as a control of sorts in the theoretical physics equations (maybe as the bit that helps the math make sense to us?).

So, if in a real way the very notion of time makes no sense, then perhaps a universe without matter or energy does make sense. And for the same reason, a universe that always had energy also makes sense.

There actually might be such things as time , I read this artical that meson decay seems to prefer going in one direction of time and if it was reversed you would not witness a reversed reaction. The perception of time is relative but there might actually exist a timeline that only works one way.
