What is the universe and where and when did it start?
way too many scientist see to be convinced that it started out as some beach ball sized thing of super condensed matter.
thats a question nobody can answer as the truth n we will probably never know the answer to that.. id just say some force beyond anything we know of came along n just built it..whatever he/she wanted to be there was there..thats all i can basically think of.
well, as i learned from gg 105 "voyage thru the solar system" (a class that was sooooo boring...), the universe was created like 10 billion years ago (if i remember correctly). don't know how the universe was actually created (see how well i payed attention in class? lol). there are a couple of theories on how the moon was created that i can tell ya... but i won't, unless someone actually would like to know.

forgot to tell ya'll that i got a C in the class... it wasn't hard, just really really boring. so boring that i didn't pay attention in class (well, that is, when i went to class) and i didn't study hard for the tests/midterms. i put my time into my other classes. by the way, i'm a sophomore at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

I think that the universe is just a big petri dish for some science experment somewhere. That would make us equivalent to really smart amoebas.

I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when the fear has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
personally I think all things exist on a different plane of time it's like a river leading to the water fall (death) flies happen to be a few few from the edge only living a single day or so but great red wood trees about a 1oo miles upstream living up to a thousand years or more. but all things have to go down the waterfall eventually even the great red woods.
The universe was created by our mind. There is a universe for every person on this planet, and if you escape it, it will be the greatest experience for you.
