1 yI'm an engineer and have studied physics and other sciences pretty extensively. As far as I know, there is no causality law that requires something to have a beginning. All the laws treat objects as existing, with a set of properties, no reference to if or where they came from.
Newton’s first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. There is nothing in the law about how long the object has been at rest or in motion; forever is a possibility.

Ah, so planets, stars, life, elements can just spring up out of a nothingness vacuum.

@Miristheiss There is no physics law that would prevent that.

God, of course.
It was created.

1 yThe fact that matter can neither be created nor destroyed is a foundation of physics.

According to the laws of physics, yes.

@Djaay Reproductive cells from my parents joined. My mother's body converted food she ate into it's basic components and nurished those cells allowing them to divide and multiply by reconstituting those basic components into more complex structures according to the DNA in those cells. This process continued until I was born. After that, my body used food I ate to continue the process.

Scientists have been trying to prove the start of the universe for hundreds of years. Sorry, but me being able to prove it on a G@G post isn't going to happen.

One of the foundational laws of physics is that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. It logically follows that according to that same law of physics, matter has always existed.

In your original question, you asked if it was against the laws of physics. It is against the laws of physics. I think your real question is how do you explain the existence of something that cannot be created according to the laws of physics.

I've never given it much thought because whether it does or does not has no impact on me.

1 yThere can be no laws of physics if there is nothing physically existing previously. Something physical has to be present to extrapolate

Nothing goes past nothing so how can there be something beyond nothing? Are you saying there is something beyond nothing when nothing is infinity
- 1 y
Unless you changed the meaning of nothing then nothing is infinite. I guess you are trying to give nothing a physical presence and I would like to see how you can do that.
