How can a universe exist?

I'm thinking philosophically here, but scientific explanations would
be
most
helpful perhaps. Basically the inconceivable part of the big bang
theory
/
universe / time beginning, etc is how can something just begin to
exist.
It
must have come from nothing. And can can literally no matter become
matter
from out of nowhere. I just can't conceive of the universe expanding
at
its
edges - what is on the otherside of that edge - nothing? How can
something
expand into where nothing is? There's nowhere to go?!

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks like this - what are the
scientific
explanations - if any concerning matter from nowhere and what is on
the
otherside of everything (ie the otherside of the outskirts of the
universe).

The answer is really very simple. Magic. It's all done with Magic.

LOL!
To the original poster, and to all those who like the topic, I recommend
reading Hawking's "Universe in a nutshell" . Very good, illustrative, and
intelligently written.

Of course you can't. You're part of it. A mirror can't reflect itself. You'd
have to be somewhere else to imagine a "universe", and there is nowhere else

To think reality the universe can exist in this space time because it
has accelerating expansion. Bert

Every universe can exist because it made room for at least one
intelligent life form in its spacetime history. A universe without this
feature need not exist. My mind tells me this is not reality,and comes
under QM uncertainty principle. So I'll add this. A universe without
intelligent life is a cosmic void. That type of no life universe is a
waste of time and space. Bert

Welcome to my ignore list which I consider it a cosmic void similar to
your description.
