Have you ever wondered how the universe came to be? Is it a result of random events or is there an underlying force behind its existence? While scientists have theories on the creation of the cosmos, they are still largely in the dark.

This article will explore some of these theories and discuss why this mystery has yet to be solved.
What We Know About the Creation of The Universe So Far?
While scientists do not know for sure what caused our universe to exist, they have come up with several theories. According to Big Bang Theory, all matter was once concentrated in one tiny point, which then suddenly “exploded” into space creating everything we know today.
This theory also suggests that the universe is constantly expanding and will eventually reach a point at which it stops and begins to reverse itself, leading to its destruction. The Steady State Theory is an alternate theory that states that the universe has always existed in some form or another. And the matter is continuously created over time to fill spaces left behind by the expansion of space.

Finally, there is the Plasma Cosmology Theory, which suggests that our universe was created from electric currents in plasma and continues to expand due to those same forces. However, this theory does not explain how these electric currents were able to come together to form our universe.
Why Haven’t We Solved the Mystery Yet?
Despite the various theories, there are still a few gaps in our knowledge when it comes to understanding the creation of the universe. One big unanswered question is why only certain particles and forces exist in our universe, yet others do not. This also relates to how these particles interact with each other, as well as why they have specific properties that they do.
Another challenge lies in trying to measure or observe the universe’s origin point. While we can look back 13 billion years into space, scientists believe this is too far away from where the Big Bang occurred, and so, they cannot provide us with any meaningful data about what happened then. Additionally, due to its vast size and complexity, some aspects of the universe may be impossible to study or understand.

Parting Thoughts
The creation of the universe is an enigma that scientists have yet to solve. While there are a few theories as to how our universe came into existence, they are still full of unanswered questions and gaps in knowledge. It is very likely that this mystery will remain unsolved for many years to come. But hopefully, further research and discovery will give us a better understanding of the origins of our cosmos. One day, for sure!
Understanding how our universe came to be can help us gain a better appreciation for its beauty and complexity and can also provide us with clues as to what might lie ahead in the future. Until then, we will continue to speculate on the origin of our universe.
