How does something come from nothing? Think about the question "what is a table?" Well a table is a a surface usually with four legs. Okay, let's take that further, it's a wooden surface with four wooden legs, okay let's go more where does the wood come from? It comes from trees, okay where do trees come from they grow, what do they grow from? Water and sunlight and nutrients in the soil, where do those come from? You then get to atoms, where do they come from, how does a substance appear one day? How can it come from nothing? What is "nothing"?

I mean it sounds like you're asking if the Big Bang happened. If you ever find out the answer, some gentlemen in Sweden have an award for you.

See the thing is, the Big Bang doesn't even account for my question. The big bang says "the whole universe was in a hot dense state", that's already after matter exists

Lawrence Krauss wrote a book called something from nothing with what are likely the best answers we currently have on this topic.

The official answer is we aren't sure, but we are looking into it. And we should keep looking into it until we have the answers.
