Even if the matter came from a parallel universe, the question still is: where did this parallel universe come from.
The point is, in order to have something come from somehwere else you need two things: time (since it takes time to move matter from A to B) and space (in which it can move). Before the
bigbang was neither time nor space, so no matter could have moved - in fact without time and space there cannot be matter at all.
We know that mass is dependent on speed. If you have no space and time (and no movement) there cannot be mass at all. Now, with the
bigbang and the expansion of the universe matter comes into existence since with the speed of its expansion it develops mass. This explains how matter evolves. The question is still - what caused the expansion? This question however is somehow futile. We would have to know what was before the
bigbang to find out its cause. Since time and space only came into being with the
bigbang, there cannot be a "before" the
bigbang. (Before needs time and space - without them no "before"
. So why did the universe start to expand? Why does the dog lick its balls?
