Where did this ice come from if it wasn't created ?
Our universe is much the same.
It wasn't created. The energy of the universe expanded and matter formed.
I realize this is a very simplistic model but I think it's useful.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old
What happens if you get in a time machine and go back, say, 20 billion years ago.
Is there any energy? There isn't time right? Time came into being 13.8 billion years ago?
Are you saying the universe came from pre-existing energy?
If so, was that pre-existing energy always there, without beginning, or did it have a beginning?
The universe is energy. If you go back in time as far as you can go, the energy of the universe is still there. Where would it go ?
