According to Stephen Hawking, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy. The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know. We don't know where it came from, why it's here, or even where it is. All we really know is that we are inside of it and at one time it didn't exist and neither did we.
mind-boggling stuff
the physical universe is as a result of quantum fluctuations. For every billion annihilation of matter and anti-matter particles, one particle of matter was left. From this left-over matter, the universe was created
