If all energies were masculine then the universe would be a huge sausage fest

isn't it possible that the universe always was and always will be? we already know our concept of time is flawed, a flawed concept with a purpose, so how do we know that it's just not something we can't fathom?Is it so farfetched to say that the universe always did and always will exist?
I agree considering space goes on forever and most of the universe is occupied by endless dark matter,I understand planets being created but not the universe it self.

we are but a bubble of thought roaming blindly in the ocean of noothingness, with no beginning and no end as these are concepts that we ourselves have thought up. oblivion is the beginning and the end, or nuthing at all. we dont really exist, WE just think we do.
This is not the final................

First thing I gotta ask is: what does everyone here mean by the "universe?"
Do you mean the observable bubble of luminous matter: stars, galaxies, etc, pus "dark matter" and "dark energy?" And it may not end there. Inflation and the effect of dark energy suggest that the Observable Bubble is but a tiny point at the center of a far, far vaster bubble (eg, think proton at the center of the Earth as the Observable Bubble, and the whole Earth as the Entire Bubble).
If this is what you mean by "universe," then, as pointed out, it began as a huge explosion some 14 gigayears back, originating from a singularity. Why did the singularity explode? Some have suggested because it was unstable. Why was it unstable? Why not?
If by "universe" you mean All There Ever Was, All There Is (outside of which exists nothing) and All There Ever Will Be, well, then, the answer to the question of creation is obvious.
Given the second scenario, our Bubble is but one of an infinite number, existing in a Multi-/Meta-/Omni-verse where unstable universe-bubbles are "flashing" in and out existence all the time, in a way similar to how virtual particles in our spacetime come and go (but, of course, on a much larger time scale, where an "instant" in the Multiverse is, say, 10^1000 years our time).
Some have even suggested that this Omniverse is infinitely fractal in nature.
God I love this stuff

I mean the universe + everything that has, is or will be + everthing that hasn't, is not, and will never be + more.
